Excuse me. You

’

re sitting in my seat.

The train to Beijing! Lin often dreamed about the train, and about going to the

capital. Now it was in front of him, to set off soon. He looked at his brother.

“

Don

’

t

forget

where

you

come

from, little brother,

”

Jin

said.

“

And

watch

your

bags carefully.

”

Lin nodded, unable to speak. This was his first long trip by train at the start

of his new life, leaving his village and his home for the last 16 years.

He

held

Jin

in

his

arms.

With

tears

in

his

eyes,

Jin

pushed

Lin

away.

“

Go,

brother.

Write to us as soon as you get there, OK?

”

Lin jumped onto the train. There were people and bags everywhere.. He pushed past

them towards his seat.

A

young

man

was

sitting

in

Lin

’

s

was

wearing

jeans

and

a

very

smart

jacket,

and was smoking a cigarette.

What should he do? Six pairs of eyes looked at Lin, while the man looked out of

the window.

“

Sir,

you

’

re

sitting

in

my

seat,

”

Lin

said,

with

a

nervous

smile.

The

other

people

watched with interest.

The man didn

’

t turn to look at Lin, but just looked out of the window.

“

Excuse

me.

I

have

a

ticket

with

the number

of

the seat

you

’

re

sitting

in!

”

Lin

said in a strong voice.

”

I also have a ticket with that number though it is in another car. Besides, I was

here

first,

said

the

man,

without

moving

his

head.

Though

he

was

sitting,

he

looked

very tall and strong.

Lin looked at the other passengers for help.

“

But

?

.

”

he started to say.

“

But what?

”

the man turned and looked at Lin.

“

I

’

m not moving.

”

Finally

a

man

wearing

glasses

spoke

in

a

loud

voice.

“

This

young

man

has

the

right

ticket for the seat. You should move.

”

Lin felt brave.

“

See? Please move. I

’

ve got a long way to go.

”

“

How long?

”

the young man asked.

“

To the last stop, Beijing.

”

“

I

’

m getting off before you. Then you can get my seat.

”

“

Where is that?

”

asked Lin.

“

Hangzhou.

”

Lin thought Hangzhou was far away.

“

It

’

s seven hours away from here,

”

the man with glasses said.

“

Even if it

’

s only 10 minutes, you should move.

Slowly

the

young

man

stood

up,

dropped

his

cigarette

on

the

floor,

and

disappeared

down the train.

minutes

by

bike

away from

home

.Before

I came here, I went to primary school, near my home.I started primary school when

I was five and stayed there for six years.

The schoolday is from 8:45 am to 3: 15 spend the first 10 minutes in our

classroom

while

our

teacher

checks

which

pupils

are

present

or

absent.

everyone

goes to the main hall. There our head teacher makes a speech and tells us any news

about the s begin at 9:05 and last for an hour. We have a break at

11:05 until 11:20, then another lesson, then lunch for an hour. We have two more

lessons before school finishes.

This

year

I

have

11

History.

geography,

music and IT, PHSE,ADT and PE (these stand for Information Technology

；

Personal

drugs and smoking, among other things. In ADT we also do things like learning to

cool as well as drawing and design,Some people can do Italian and Spanish instead

of French, but no one is learning Chinese ... yet! PE involves physical exercise,

subjects, and then I can do between three and five subjects for the wxams in my

final year.

both during and after school hours. Afterschool activities,such as sports clubs

and language societies are popular, too. During the school year there are usually

visits to museums and galleries, and to camps for activities, such as climbing

and cycling in the country. There are parties and discos and a sports day, and

the school play is a really important a term, there is a parents'

our parents and teachers can talk about our progress.

What's the best thing about school? English, history, music ... and my

's the worst thing? Homework ... and exams!

Module3 Unit2

Life in the past

Mrs Li is over 70 years old , and has lived in Beijing all her life.I asked her

about life today and in the past.

Tell me about your parents. brothers and sisters

。

My

parents,

my

sister

and

three

brothers

lived

in

a

small

house

beside

a

restaurant.

We

weren't

very

rich,

but

we

were

sister

was

the

elsest

child

and

she

left

school when she was only 12 to help my mother at es have changed a lot

since

I

was

young.

They

were

much

bigger

in

those

days.

Most

of

my

friends

had

lots

of brothers and sisters.

Today most people only have one child

！

Did your parents have jobs?

My father went out to work. He was a factory worker,and he oftern worked 12 hours

a day. My mom wanted to work. She was a teacher before she met my g

after us was a full-time job, so she stayed at it's normal for married

women

to

go

out

to

work,

but

it

was

less

common

in

the

past.

My

father

had

the

same

job the whole of his working life. These days people change their jobs much more

often.

What was life like at home

Well,

I

remember the

family

meals,

three times

a

day. My

mother

was

always

cooking

for us.

We

weren't

rich

but

we

ate

enough.

And

the

food

was

always

freshly

cooked--my

mother

never bought ready- made food as people do today, so it was much better

for us. And

of course we didn't have television, so we played games together and read a lot.I

helped my younger brother with his homework in the evenings.

Where did you meet your husband?

I first met him 60 years ago.I was carrying some heavy bags on my bike and I fell

off! He

stopped and

picked

up

my

bags

.

My

parents

liked

him,.and thought

he

came

from a good family so we got married a year later, I was only 19. These days most

couples meet at work,and they Just hope their parents will be happy for them if

they marry.

Has Beijing changed?

Yes, there are lots more buildings and so much more traffic! I can't believe the

number of cars on the streets. But I suppose it's the same I walk

less these days and take the bus more.

And do you think life is better today?

Well,

I

think

so.I'm

healthier

than

I've

ever

live

longer

and

we

eat

better.

One day I'll be talking to your own grandchildren!

Module4 Unit2

Looking cool

What do you look for when you go shopping for clothes?Do you choose something

fashionable... or comfortable?Do you like to look different? Or do you wear the

same clothes as your friends? Do you go for this year's colours?Is it the logo -

the company symbol- that catches your attention? Or maybe film stars are wearing

these clothes? What helps you choose the clothes you like?

Everyone

spends

money

on

clothes,

and

everyone

has

their

personal

look.

The

best- known

clothing

companies

sell

their

clothes

all

over

the

the number of these big name companies is in fact very small,and the clothes they

make are

more

expensive

than the

clothes made

by

less well -

known

companies.

Many

people even prefer them to cheaper clothes. Why

？

Many young people today care about the way they look. They often buy

clothes because they think they look cool. Then the less welll-known companies.

make clothes which look the same. But they don't sell as well because they don't

have the logo.

People

also

think

designer

clothes

are

better

make.

For

example

,

many

people

think

the right running shoes will make you run faster or play better. Of course, this

is

not

always

true.

It's

the

training

--

not

the

trainers--

that

improves

your

speed

or

your

score.

But

that's

not

the

point.

People

believe

that

it's

true

...

and

then

buy the shoes, The big companies only want to make a lot of money.

Above all, designer clothes are more popular because of clever advertising. All

of

the

international

companies

spend

millions

of

dollars

every

year

to

make

us

buy

their clothes. And they succeed!

Most people dress in a way that shows off their personality. But if some of us buy

expensive clothes just to look cool, what does that say about us? Maybe it's just

clever advertising.

So

next

weekend

,

think

about

the

clothes

you

put

on.

What's

the

logo

on

your

trainers?

Who made your jeans? And how many of your friends wear the same clothes as you do?

And then think that maybe some of us could spend our money better.
