I went to Qingdao on vacation last summer. I went there 1 my family. I walked to the beach. There were quite a 2 people there. 3 had a good time. I saw 4 special on the beach. It was a shell(贝壳). It was 5. I liked it very much.

    There was a 6 near the beach. I saw a lot of dogs, 7, pigs and other animals in it. They were made of (由......制成) shells. I bought some 8 my friends and I 9some photos.

    If you want to go somewhere for vacation, you can go to Qingdao and relax 10 there.

    My twin brother is called Bill, and he is four 1 younger than me. Our birthdays are 2 on the fifth of January. We have the same eyes and noses. Most people say we 3 the same, but Bill looks a little 4 than me. We aren't in the same class at school, 5 my parents want us to be a little different. We often 6 in the same way, but we choose(挑选) different 7. I like red and he likes blue. I think we are very 8. He is really, really active(活跃的), and 9 every day. He also plays computer games a lot but I don't. At school I'm always the top student, but he hardly ever does well 10 the exams. So teachers often say we are very different.

    A few friends are talking about their last vacations.

    Jack and Robert are sportsmen, but they are different. Jack is a runner. Every morning he goes swimming for one hour. Then he does strength training(力量训练) and practices running. He likes fish, beef and eggs. He eats a lot of fruit and vegetables, too. He hardly ever eats junk food. Jack says he can't be fat, or he can't run fast. Robert is a sumo wrestler(相扑手). He weighs more than 150kg, because he eats a lot and sleep a long time. Robert only has lunch and supper every day, but he eats much. And he usually sleeps from the early evening to the next noon. He only practices in the afternoon. The training is usually sleeps very hard. These habits help him keep fat and be a good sumo wrestler.

    Do you know that you are not outgoing enough? Do you want more friends? Read the following rules. They may help you.

    Feel comfortable(舒适的). Always be clean. Shower, brush your teeth, and try to look nice. Dress in clothes that make you feel good and comfortable. These make you more confident(自信的).

    Smile more often. Try to smile more often at people. It will get them to think that you are friendly. Then they will talk to you more even (即使)they don't know you.

    Just talk. Some people worry about talking because they think, “What am I going to talk with that person?” Outgoing people don't even think about it. They just go up to people and say what they think.

    Listen to people. You can't just talk. People will think that you're self-centered(以自我为中心的). You have to listen to others and give your opinions(想法). Let them know you care.

    Read the news. Don't just stay at home and do nothing. Surf the Internet for news and information, and talk about them when you're with friends.

    Skin-diving(潜水)is a new sport today.       . It's like a visit to the moon! When you are under the sea, it's easy for you to climb big rocks(岩石),       .

    Everything is blue and green under the water. During the day, there's enough light. When fish swim nearby,       .

    When you have tanks(罐) of air on your back. You can stay in deep water for a long time.        when you dive in deep water.

    It's the most interesting part of this sport to catch fish. There are most uses for skin-diving, too. You can clean ships without(没有) taking them out of the water      .

    Now you see that skin-diving is both useful and interesting.

Did you do                last month?

Animal World is one of my favorite        .

I'm               than my sister.

Lucy has to stay at home               the heavy rain.

My best friend always helps               the best in me.

    Last month we        our students about their free time        . Here are the results.

    We were        that 90 percent of the students use the Internet every day. The other 10 percent use it at        three or four times a week. The answer to the question about watching TV were also       . Although many students like to watch sports, game shows are the        popular.

    It's good to relax by        the Internet or watching game shows, but we think the        way to relax is through exercise. It's        for the mind and the body. So start        before it's too late!
