In North America, most students go to school by bus, and some students also walk or ride bicycles. In other parts of the world, things are different. In Japan, most students go to school by train, while others walk or ride bicycles. In China, it depends on where you live. In big cities, students go to school by bike or by bus. In places with rivers or lakes, such as Red Coral or Kaishan Island, students often go to school by boat.

Thank you for your invitation. I'm really sorry that I can't see you this week. I am really busy. I'm going to my cousin's birthday party tonight, and I'm going to see the dentist tomorrow. Bah, on Wednesday, I have a tennis match with my school team. On Thursday, I have to study for my chemistry exam. On Friday night, I will go to the movies with some of my friends. Can you go to the movies with us on Friday? I look forward to you.

Thank you for your last letter. This is a picture of me and my twin sister Liu Ying. As you can see, in some ways, we look the same, but in some ways, we look different. We all have black eyes and black hair, but my hair is shorter than hers. We all like sports. Although Liu Ying is better at sports than me, she is more outgoing and I am quieter. I think so.
Unit 8 Section 3a
Class 9 had a good time on the school trip. They went to the Blue Water Aquarium for a day. First, they visited the Liu Ke Center and went to see a movie about sharks. Then they watched the dolphin show. Afterwards, they went to the outdoor swimming pool and saw a big octopus. After lunch, they went to the gift shop and bought many presents. Finally, tired but happy, they went back to school by bus. At the end of the day, the science teacher was very happy because the monitor cleaned the bus after the trip.
Section B 3a
Dear Tom:
How was your holiday? Did you have a good time in Ye Ying? I didn't have fun that day. I went to visit my cousin. It's raining all day. In the morning, I stay at home and watch DVD, play computer games and read books. In the afternoon, Uncle Martin took some old things to the yard to sell. Unfortunately, no one came to buy it, because the weather was too bad. Luckily, we brought an umbrella and a raincoat, so we didn't get wet.
See you as soon as possible

My dream job.
I want to do what I want when I grow up. I plan to move to an interesting place. Paris sounds like my favorite city. There are many art exhibitions there. I want to be an artist. So how did I achieve it? First of all, I will find a part-time job, work for a year or two and save some money. Then, I want to be a student in an art school in Paris. At the same time, I have to learn French. Next, I will hold an art exhibition. I want to have money and buy a big house for my parents. Besides, I want to travel around the world.

I don't like doing housework.
Oh, I don't like doing some housework either, but I like doing other housework.
Really? Do you like washing clothes?
No I don't. That's boring.
I agree. Do you like making the bed? No, not really, but I like washing dishes because it relaxes people. I like cooking breakfast, because I like cooking.

Thank you

Unit 12
How do young people view these places in the city? We made a survey of readers, and this is what we learned. The cinemas are all good, but the studio is the best in our town. It has the biggest screen and the most comfortable seats. However, the city cinema is the cheapest and it has the friendliest service. The most popular clothing store is Jason's. It has the best quality clothes and the cheapest price. Fashion shops are the worst, and the service attitude is quite poor. As for the radio station, most people think that the survey frequency is 107, and 9 MHz jazz station is quite good. The music it plays is the most fascinating.

He danced a dance without music. The most interesting performance award was won by Steve Tani and his dog Fido. They sang a happy song with commas.
