2 Read Sally’s email and find out which is her picture. FROM: Sally TO: Lingling
SUBJECT: Re: Welcome to China. Hi Lingling,
Thanks for your last message. It was great to hear from you, and I can’t wait to meet you.
1 hope you will know me from my photo when I arrive at the airport. I’m quite tall, with short fair hair, and I 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!
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.
You asked me, “How do you feel about coming to China” 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 too. But I can't tell you how excited I am about going to China! See you next week! Love, Sally

I’ve also entered lots of speaking competitions, but haven’t won any prizes. I’ve stopped trying now. Lingling: That’s a pity. Have you ever thought about other kinds of competitions Tony: What do you mean
Lingling: Look! Here’s a writing competition Around the World in 80 Days. To win it, you need to write a short story about a place you’ve visited.
Tony: That sounds wonderful, but I’ve never travelled much. How can I write about it Lingling: Don’t worry. It doesn’t need to be true! You can make it up.
Tony: That’s interesting. I’ll try. I hope I will win, then I will invite you to come with me. Lingling: Sorry! The first prize is only the book called Around the World in 80 Days!
Unit 2 They have seen the Pyramids.
2 Read the passage and answer the questions.
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 cities 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 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. Module 3
