Mm…What a delicious smell!
Your pizza looks so nice.

Thanks!
Would you like to try some?

Yes, please. It looks lovely, it smells delicious, and mm, it tastes good.

What’s that on top?

Oh, that’s cheese. Do you want to try a piece?

a bit sour.

Well, my chocolate cookies are done now. Have a try!

There’s some pizza and some cookies, and now I’m making an apple pie.

Apple pie sounds nice. I have a sweet tooth, you know. Shall I get the sugar?
Betty:
Yes, please. Oh, are you sure that’s sugar?
Taste it first. It might be salt.
Daming:
No, it’s OK. It tastes sweet. It’s sugar. Tony:

Re :
Welcome to China
Hi Lingling,
1. Thanks for your last message, It was great to hear from you, and I can’t wait to meet you.

wear glasses. I’ll wear jeans and a T-shirt for the journey, but I’ll also carry my warm coat. I’ve got your photo
---- you look very pretty, so I’m sure we’ll find each other!
3. Thanks for telling me about your hobbies. You sound just like me!
I spend a lot of time playing classical music with my friends at school, but I also like dance music – I love dancing!
I enjoy sports as well, especially tennis.
My brother is in the school tennis team – I’m very proud of him!
He’s good at everything, but I’m not.
Sometimes I get bad marks at school, and I feel sad. I should work harder.

”Well, I often feel a bit sad at first when I leave my
mum and dad for a few days, and I’m quite shy when I’m with strangers. I feel nervous when I speak Chinese,
but I’ll be fine in a few days. I’m always sorry when I don’t know how to do things in the right way, so please
help me when I’m with you in China!
Oh, I’m afraid of flying. But I can’t tell you how excited I am about
going to China!
See you next week!

story about a place you’ve visited.

Don’t worry. It doesn’t need to be true!
You can make it up.

Unit 2 They have seen the Pyramids.
Mike Robinson is a fifteen–year-old American boy and his sister Clare is fourteen. At the moment, Mike and Clare are in Cairo in Egypt, one of the biggest and busiest cites in Africa.
They moved here with their parents two years ago. Their father, Peter, works for a very big company. The
company has offices in many countries, and it has sent Peter to work in Germany, France and China before. Peter usually stays in a country for about two years. Then the company moves him again. His family always goes with
him.
The Robinsons love seeing the world. They have been to many interesting places. For example, in Egypt,
they have seen the Pyramids, travelled on a boat on the Nile River, and visited the palaces and towers of ancient
kings and queens.
Mike and Clare have also begun to learn the language of the country, Arabic. This language is different from
English in many ways, and they find it hard to spell and pronounce the words. However, they still enjoy learning
it. So far they have learnt to speak German, French, Chinese and Arabic. Sometimes they mix the languages. “It’s really fun,” said Clare.
The Robinsons are moving again. The company has asked Peter to work back in the US. Mike and Clare are
happy about this. They have friends all over the world, but they also miss their friends in the US. They are
counting down the days.

Module3 Journeytospace
Unit 1 Has it arrived yet ?
Daming:
Hi, Tony. What are you up to?
Tony:
Hi, Daming. I’ve just made a model spaceship for our school project.
Daming:
I haven’t started yet, because I’m not sure how to make it. Can you help me?
Tony:
Sure, no problem. Have you heard the lasted news?
Scientists have sent a spaceship to Mars. The journey
has taken several months. Daming:
Has it arrived yet?
Tony:
Yes, it has arrived already. That’s why it’s on the news.
Daming:
So have they discovered life on Mars?
Tony:
No, they haven’t yet.
Daming:
Are there any astronauts in the spaceship?
Tony:
No, there aren’t.
Daming:
Why?
Astronauts have already been to the moon.

Yes, but no one has been to Mars yet, because Mars is very far away, much farther than the moon. Lots of
scientists are working hard in order to send astronauts to Mars one day.
Daming:
That’s interesting!
How can I get information on space travel?

You can go online to search for the information.
