Every Sunday morning,　students from different schools gathered around here. Many college students and some foreigners often join us,　We practice spoken English by talking about everything we are interested in.　We also exchange our experience in English study.

It has a history of more than twenty centuries. It is amazing to see such a huge wall was made entirely by hand.‎ The other place worth visiting is the Palace Museum, which was built in 1406. Twenty-four emperors once lived there. from there the ruling emperors issued orders. You can learn a lot about Chinese history by visiting this Palace.‎ What a pity that you can’t stay longer, otherwise, you could visit many other historic places and beautiful scenes such as Summer Palace, Bei Hai park.. and so on.‎ ‎11、 ‎ Now let me say something about Beijing Opera. Beijing Opera is very popular in China. It has a history of more than 200 years. During the reign of the Qianlong emperor in the Qing dynasty, Qianlong had a interest in the local opera. In 1790, to celebrate his eightieth birthday, he summoned opera troupes from different places to perform for him in Beijing. Four famous troupes from Anhui province remained in Beijing after the celebration. In 1828, A Hubei troupe came to Beijing and often performed together with the Anhui troupes. The two types of singing mixed together and gradually a new type came into being known as Beijing Opera. Now is the performance. I hope you will like it.‎ 59‎ w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m ‎12、 ‎ Dear Mr. Du,‎ I’m sorry to tell you that I can’t go to school today.

You ask me something about Lu Xun and his works since you began to study Chinese literature. Now let me tell you something about him.‎ Lu Xun was a well-Known Chinese writer, he was not only a writer, a thinker, and translator, but also a founder of modern Chinese literature. His novels have been put into many languages and 59‎ ‎ some of novels have been made into films, such as The True Story of AH Q and The New Year’s Sacrifice which expose sharply the old society. The late Chairman Mao spoke highly of him. Some of his novels have been collected in high school and college textbooks. Since you are learning Chinese literature, I think reading Lu Xun’s novels will benefit a lot.‎ Yours Wei Ming ‎16、 ‎ My hometown is an economic-open-zone. It is a town on the sea with a population of three hundred thousand. Before the liberation it used to be a fishing village. Most people lived on fishing. There was no industry. And there were only few primary schools here.‎ Since the open-door policy, a lot of foreign businessmen invested here. A lot of factories have been built. Economics have developed rapidly and big port has also been built, which is connected with many ports of other ports both in and out of our country. A new university now has been founded. Three thousand students have already graduated from it. I am sure in the near future our hometown will become more modern.‎ w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m ‎17、 ‎ ‎ 2 Doorway 4, building 1‎ ‎ Yunti Hu Tong ‎ Xicheng District ‎ Beijing 100037‎ ‎ China ‎ November 4th,1995‎ Dear peter,‎ Thank you for your letter of October 25.

Almost every family in the village had colour TV set, many families had their houses newly built, or rebuilt, some of them had motorcycles or cars.‎ One of the villagers proudly told me that he and some other villagers were going to join a tour and travel abroad. How I admire them!‎ I said to my father that I would go back to my hometown after I graduated from college. Father also expressed he would go back as soon as he retired.

I had to go over every required subject and did a lot of exercises. I worked very hard, more than 10 hours a day. When I was tired I watched TV for a while and listened to music, but I never went to the cinema or theater. I had to refuse several invitations from my relatives and classmates. I only called them to greet them on the eve of the Spring Festival. How I wish there were no examinations at all, but of course it is impossible. I will try my best to get better results and go to were no examinations at all, but of course it is impossible. I will try my best to get better results and go to Qing Hua University, which I have been longing for. How is your vacation? Best wishes to you and your family!‎ Yours 59‎ Wu Qi ‎21、 ‎ This is township-run kindergarten. It was set up in 1985 by Red Star Township. Eighty percent of the children are from peasants’ family. At first, there were only three teachers and twenty children, there was very little equipment and it was poorly furnished so parents didn’t like to send their children there.‎ During the past few years, great changes have taken place. A new building has taken the place of the house made of the earth. The township provided the kindergarten with a lot of advanced equipment such as computers, pianos and TV sets. The number of children has increased to 200, the number of teachers to more than 20. Now parents are willing to send their children to the kindergarten.‎ ‎22、 ‎ Now many people are working hard at English. In fact, English is very important to us. First, English is widely used in the world and most business letters are written in English. Again if we grasp English, we can learn a lot of advanced experience from other countries. If we learn English well, we can serve our motherland better. And, sometimes, learning English is also a great fun.‎ ‎23、 ‎ It is very hot in the summer and in the evenings, nobody likes staying at home. People walk in the street or sit in the open. We have a special summer cinema and my friends and I often go there. There are tall trees all around, it is very cool, sometimes the films are not very good, but we do not mind. The stars shine in the sky, and there is often a large bright moon. We can enjoy a cool evening there.‎ ‎24、 ‎ Mr. Liu Jin, aged 39, is working in a factory in Shanghai as a chemical engineer.‎ After he graduated from Nanjing University in 1978, he was sent to Tokyo University to study the chemical engineering.

Students from other grades are welcome. Thank you. ‎ ‎27、 ‎ During my high school years, I found physics, chemistry and maths specially interesting. Actually, I was interested in many subjects, such as biology, history, geography and English. But somehow I simply couldn’t remember the events of history or the facts about geography. I couldn’t remember the some of the English idioms well either. On the other hand, physics, chemistry and maths were easy for me to learn. After considering carefully my interests and talents, I felt that science might be the best choice for me. So I was determined to study natural science at college. After graduating from college, I would like to return to school to teach .‎ ‎28、 ‎ September 10 is our Teachers’ Day. In the afternoon, Zhonghua school held a celebration meeting, at which more than twenty old teachers each were praised with a medal for their over thirty years of teaching. Our principal made an enthusiastic speech at the meeting, and then the representative of the teachers and students gave a talk to us. After the meeting. We started performances played by some teachers and students, which were very interesting and instructive. We all had a wonderful time. I think we all should respect the teachers, engineers of human soul.‎ ‎29、 ‎ The Ways for Reading To read successfully requires correct ways of reading. Here are some suggestions：‎ ‎(1) Choose books which are neither too difficult nor too easy for you. If you find it too hard to go 59‎ ‎ on with the book, just put it aside for the moment and change for an easier one;‎ ‎(2) Choose books that not only interest you but also benefit you, for reading is not always for fun only;‎ ‎(3) Some books are to be read roughly, but some must be read slowly and carefully. Don’t forget to take some notes whenever you feel it necessary;‎ ‎(4) Don’t be shy to ask questions. Anyone who knows more than you do can be your teacher;‎ ‎(5) Make good use of dictionaries, for dictionaries are your best teachers.‎ ‎30、 ‎ Why Do We Study English?‎ English is one of the most widely used languages in the world. It is spoken by nearly three hundred million people： in England, the United States, Australia, Canada and many other countries. It is one of the working languages at international meetings and is more used than the others. It is said that 60 percent of the world’s radio broadcasts and 70 percent of the world’s mail are in English. Millions of books and magazines are written in English, too. English is really a bridge to knowledge. With the help of English we can learn modern science and technology faster and better form the developed countries. In this way we can serve our country better.‎ ‎31、 ‎ Give Up Smoking Smoking is a widespread habit even among school children. The number of young smokers is increasing.‎ It is reported that over two-fifths of the students in a certain school smoke, and some of them even steal money to buy cigarettes, This is terrible.‎ As we all know, smoking is harmful to our health. But it’s even more harmful to middle school students for it does great harm not only to their health but also to their mind.‎ Middle school students are future builders of the country. They should spend their time learning what is useful. So it’s really time that these young smokers made up their minds to give up smoking.‎ ‎32、 ‎ Spring Festival The Chinese New Year is called Spring Festival, it usually comes in February. There is a name for each year. It may be called the year of the dog or the year of the monkey. And this year is the year of the cock.‎ Before the Now Year’s Day, the Chinese people usually give their houses a general cleaning. On the last day of the old year, there is a big family dinner. All members of the family try to be present at the meal. On the first day of the new year, people go to visit their relatives and friends.‎ 59‎ ‎ As a rule, children are given some money to buy things they like.‎ People often have a good time during the Festival.‎ w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m ‎33、 ‎ How Cities Began Do you know how cities began?‎ Long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from place to place, hunting animals for food. No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their lives changed. They began to live near one another. And so the first villages grew. Many people came to work in the villages. The villages grew very big. From there the cities began.‎ When machines came along, life in the villages changed again. Factories were built. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities grew very big.‎ ‎34、 ‎ Early Rising Early rising benefits us in many ways.‎ First, it helps to keep us fit. We all need fresh air. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Besides, by taking morning exercises we can improve our health.‎ Second, it can help us in our studies. In the morning we can learn more quickly.‎ Third, it can enable us to plan our work for the day. We cannot work well without a proper plan. Early rising can also give us enough time to get ready for our work..‎ So we say that those who always get up late should make great effort to get up early.‎ ‎35、 ‎ Spare-time Art Education in Shanghai Tens of thousands of children is Shanghai are receiving art training in their spare time. More than 450 spare-time schools are helping the children in music, dancing, painting and calligraphy. Shanghai Children’s Art School, which has 16 branches and over 6,000 pupils, is the biggest of all.‎ Parents send their children to different schools to their different interests. The children have learned a lot of new knowledge which cannot be learned from books.‎ Spare-time art schools are supported by many parents. This new kind of school will surely be run better and better.‎ ‎36、 ‎ Our English Teacher 59‎ Our English teacher is a middle-aged woman. She has taught English for more than twenty years.

How can we make the roads safer? Remember the following traffic rules.‎ When you ride a bike, keep to the right side of the road. Don’t cross the road or turn left at a red traffic light. Give a hand signal if you want to turn or stop.‎ Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways, right and left. If the road is clear, it is safe to cross. The correct way to cross is to walk quickly, but not to run. If you run across the road, you may fall down.‎ If you see small children or old people waiting to cross the road, it is a kind deed to help them to 59‎ ‎ cross in safety. We should teach small children not to play or ride on the roads.‎ Always obey these rules, you’ll find it much safer to walk or ride on the road.‎ ‎42、 ‎ Our Monitor Li Ming is our monitor. She is tall, healthy and lively. She does well in all subjects. She is fond of sports and is good at singing and dancing.‎ Li Ming works hard at English.

She was active in class and did a lot of practice after class. No pains, no gains. With great efforts she made much progress in English study.‎ Li Ming is modest and always ready to help others. She is very strict with herself in her work and daily life. She sets us all a fine example.‎ ‎43、 ‎ The Seasons There are four seasons in a year： spring, summer, autumn and winter.‎ In spring the weather gradually gets warmer and everything comes back to life. The peasants are busy with sowing.‎ When summer comes, the weather gets very hot. It rains quite often. It is a busy season for the peasants.‎ Autumn is the best season of the year.

The days become shorter and the nights longer. The weather is cold and windy. But the peasants are still busy preparing for the next spring ploughing.‎ ‎44、 ‎ My Home Town My home town is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice.‎ But in the old days it was a poor and backward little town. Many people had no work. They lived a hard life.‎ In 1949 my hometown was liberated. Since then great changes have taken place there. The streets have been widened. Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theatres have sprung up one after another. The life of the people is greatly improved.‎ I love my hometown. All the more I love its people.

So we decided to see some of the most interesting ones. We saw the elephants first and then the monkeys. Finally we went to see our favourite “friends”--the giant pandas. We were delighted to see them waving to us. We really had a wonderful time in the zoo.‎ ‎46、 ‎ A Traffic Accident Yesterday morning, I was surprised to hear that my friend Allee had been hit by a car and was in hospital now. The other day he was going to cross a street. He was very careful and didn’t go until he saw traffic light turn green. But hardly had he got to the middle of the street when he saw a car suddenly appear on his right-hand side and come directly towards him. It was too late for Allee to dodge. He was hit by the car and thrown a few meters away. He was sent to hospital immediately and had an operation. When I went to see him last night, he was out of danger but still looked pale.‎ ‎47、 ‎ My Brother Li Ping’s brother is a PLA man.

We left our school early in the morning. It took us half an hour to reach the village. As soon as we got there, we joined the peasants in their harvesting work. They taught us how to cut rice, and how to tie it. It was in the fields that we had our lunch. After lunch, we had a short rest. We were fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the countryside. It got dark when we returned home. We were very tired, but we felt very happy.‎ ‎49、 ‎ A Page from My Diary Sunday, Sept. 10Fine Today is Teachers’ Day. In the morning, I attended the school celebration, at which several teachers were given medals for having completed 30 years of teaching. Mr. Li, my English teacher, was one of them.‎ After supper my classmates and I went to see Mr. Li. He said that he would devote the rest of his life to the cause of education. He also encouraged us to work hard at our lessons.

They have the riches of knowledge.‎ Kings keep their valuable objects carefully locked up and keep the keys themselves. Nobody can touch their valuable things. Yet the riches of knowledge are entirely different. Anyone can have the key to the riches of knowledge. The key is simply “READING”. Anyone who can read can open the door of the treasure house and go in and take what he likes. Why don’t we therefore learn to read and fill ourselves with the riches of knowledge which everybody admires?‎ ‎53、 ‎ I went for a pleasant outing on Saturday with some friends from school. We went to a lovely lake about a hundred kilometres north of here. We left by bus at seven o’clock in the morning and arrived at the lake at eight thirty.

Every Friday afternoon, after the second class, we used to have time to see an English film, which we all took interest in . But from this term , it seems that we are having more and more classes in the afternoon, which makes it impossible for us to see the English films regularly. What is more, we have less time for rest or sports. I am sure it will do harm to our health as well as our study.‎ Would you please give us some support to stop this? ‎ Yours sincerely, ‎ Chen Ming w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m ‎78、 ‎ How to Make an Announcement At times we have to announce some event we are going to have. Our announcement, which may be an oral one or a written one, has to be easy to understand.‎ In general it must contain four W’s and one H, which are Who, What, Where, When and How. These are important items to which attention is to be paid. How we arrange these things is entirely up to us.‎ ‎79、 ‎ Time Is More Valuable Than Money People often say, “Time is money,” But in fact time is more valuable than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can earn it back. However, when time is lost, it will never return. This is the reason why we must value time.‎ The time we have is limited. Every second is precious. We should make full use of our time. But there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time. They kill away their time chatting, smoking, drinking or gambling, They do not realize that wasting time is simply wasting 59‎ ‎ their valuable life.‎ In a word, we should get into the good habit of saving time. Do not leave what can be done today until tomorrow. Laziness will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty.‎ ‎80、 ‎ A Letter to One’s Teacher ‎ ‎780 Changan Street, ‎ Beijing June 21, 2008‎ Dear Mr. Wang, ‎ Your letter of June 17 reached me this morning as a pleasant surprise. I had been missing you all the time, dear teacher. Glad to know that you are planning to come to Beijing for a visit this summer. I eagerly look forward to seeing you as soon as possible. ‎ My college will soon start a magazine, of which I have been made one of the assistant editors. It is a bimonthly. I’ll send you a copy as soon as the first issue is out . ‎ Are you still teaching the graduate class now? I will never forget your English classes, which were so lively and interesting. ‎ Love to your family! ‎ Yours gratefully, ‎ Chen Hua ‎81、 ‎ Let Books Be Our Good Friends Books are our friends because they are bridges to knowledge. Knowledge is valuable because it enriches our life and brings us happiness.‎ Almost all great men in the history of mankind loved books. We have every reason to believe it is the knowledge in books that led them to success. There is no genius without books. Because books give them knowledge and knowledge gives them power. A man is half blind if he is unable to read.‎ Books make us able to learn about the past and look forward to the future. They are the most valuable things in the world. Let books be our good friends all the time.‎ ‎82、 ‎ Air Around Us Air is around us. We can not see it, smell it, or taste it. But we can feel the wind blow. We can see the wind move waves on the water, clouds in the sky, and tree branches. Wind is moving air.‎ Without air we could not breathe. There could be no living plants or animals. Because sound 59‎ ‎ travels through air, without air there would be silence. The movement of air can support a large, heavy plane.‎ Air is a mixture of gases and water vapor. The most important gases in the air are nitrogen and oxygen. 78 percent of the air is made up of nitrogen, and about 21 percent of oxygen. Almost all living things use the oxygen in air. Fire cannot burn without oxygen.‎ w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m ‎83、 ‎ TVs and Radios TVs are more useful than radios. From TV you can see and hear what is happening in the world. However, radios are not disappearing. They are still with us. And the number of listeners is becoming larger. Do you know why?‎ One reason for this is the invention of the transistor. A transistor radio can be very small. It is very easy to be carried. Besides, radio broadcasts are better for blind people. Many old people don’t have good eyesight. They can’t watch TV, but can listen to music or news over the radio. What’s more, a radio is cheaper than a TV set.‎ ‎84、 ‎ A Page from My Diary Saturday, May 26 Windy Saturday again. How time flies! Another week has gone.‎ This afternoon, I was often absent-minded in class, for I was thinking of the film “The Sound of Music”, which would be shown at 7 p.m. on the school playground. As soon as class was over, I hurried out of the classroom.‎ On the way home I saw a little child standing by the roadside crying. Obviously, he had lost his way. Forgetting all about the film, I went up to him and asked him to tell me whatever he knew about his family. It took me nearly an hour to send him home. His parents were very glad to find their lost child back and thanked me again and again.‎ I missed the film. But I felt happy.‎ ‎85、 ‎ A Letter of Application for a Position P. O.

I don’t think to deal with them all years round is just wasting time . On the contrary , to me it would mean happiness . As we all can see, teachers are badly needed in our country, but not many of us want to become teachers. One of the main reasons for this is that teachers work too hard but get too little . In spite of that, I’m determined to devote all my life to the cause of education. ‎ ‎87、 ‎ How to Improve Listening Ability Learners of English, especially beginners have troubles in understanding speeches by native speakers.
