2 WE SPEAK DIFFERENT KINDS OF ENGLISH Ben: Hi, Sally! Sally: Hello, Ben!

Ben: Oh, yes, that‘s right! You British people say ?Hello‘, not ?Hi‘. I forgot that.

Sally: Actually, lots of British people say ?Hi‘ these days. It‘s all the American TV we watch. I don‘t think people over in America say ?Hello‘ much, do they?

Ben: No, most people just say ?Hi‘, as ?Hello‘ sounds very formal. Sally: Well, let‘s be British and say ?Hello‘ to each other for a change. Ben: OK, Sally!

Sally: ?OK‘ is not British. In Britain we say ?Alright‘.

Ben: That‘s not true. EVERYONE in the whole world says OK! Even the French say OK. Sally: Well, yes, that‘s true. But ?alright‘ is ?proper‘ English now.

Ben: So it is a kind of old-fashioned English. But OK, I mean alright. I‘ll try it. But will anyone understand

me?

Sally: Yes, of course they will, Oh, look, here comes Tony. He‘s from Australia. I wonder whether he says

?Hello‘ or ?Hi‘.

3 AN INTERVIEW WITH MR BLACK Which class do you teach, Mr. Black?

I teach Class 3. The students are eight or nine years old. What do you teach them?

Everything! I have them all day for whole year! By the end of the year you must know them very well! Yes. They know me pretty well too.

What do you think your class would say about you as a teacher?

This year, my class thinks I am grumpy! My wife and I have a new baby. The baby sleeps badly, so we are kept awake almost every night.

No wonder you are grumpy in the morning! What is your favorite subject to teach?

I like teaching maths. I like it when I explain something and the children can do things they could not do before, like adding fractions together. Do you like teaching English?

It‘s OK. The Class 2 teacher, Mrs. Lewis, is good at telling stories. She doesn‘t like maths. Sometimes she tells my class stories and I do maths with her class!

What do you like about teaching children of this age?

They like learning new things. Sometimes older children are more interested in their friends. They like to talk to each other, and they think some lessons are boring. WORD BANK pretty 相当

4 I LOVE HORSE-RIDING!

I‘m Sue. I‘m 14 and I live in England. My father works in a horse-riding school. I‘ve been riding since I was six. I go horse-riding every Saturday. Now I can ride quite well. I spend all Saturday at the riding school. I help to get the horses ready. I help the new students. I feed the horses and give them water when the lessons are over. I also brush them and clean all the equipment. I do this because I like it. I also get to ride for free!

When you start riding a horse, it‘s very difficult! The first thing you learn is how to get onto a horse. Then yo have to learn how to move up and down at the same time as the horse. If you don‘t do this, it is very uncomfortable for you and the horse! At first you learn to walk the horse around. Then you learn to go faster. When your teacher thinks you are good enough, you learn to jump. Not everyone wants to learn to jump. Some people just want to learn to ride for the exercise. But I like jumping. It is exciting!

5 MATT’S MOTHER

Matt‘s mother, Julie, is a doctor in a hospital in the USA. Hospitals are busy places. Every day people with broken legs, people who have had accidents, people who are sick and mothers who are sick and mothers who are having babies all come to the hospital. Often they stay in the hospital for days, or even weeks, before they are well enough to leave. Staying in hospital for a long time can be very boring. Patients sleep in rooms called wards, and nurses look after them. A doctor visits them every day to see if they are well enough to go home. Most doctors in hospitals look after just one type of patient. Julie looks after babies and small children who are sick. Sometimes she works in the daytime and sometimes at night. So sometimes Matt doesn‘t see his mum for a few days. She is working when he is asleep. She is sleeping when he is awake! When this happens, they write each other notes to say ?Hi‘! Matt‘s father is a writer. He works from home. So he does all the cooking and the housework for the family. Matt‘s 14. He‘s old enough to help with the housework. His sister, Shelly, is only two.

6 GOING TO A CONCERT

Anna and Jane had tickets for a pop concert in London. They were very excited about the concert. They had planned their day out in London very carefully. They worked out which trains to catch, where to eat and where they wanted to go shopping. Then they got some really exciting news. A friend of Jane‘s was working with the sound equipment backstage. He said he could get them special passes so they could go backstage.

He promised to ask the group if the girls could come to say ?Hello‘. He said that he was sure he could get them the group‘s autographs. The girls could hardly wait!

Then two days before the concert, Anna got a cold. It got worse and worse, even though she stayed in bed and took medicine. One the evening before the concert, she had a fever and was very sick indeed. Anna‘s mother rang Jane.

―Anna‘s too sick to go to the concert,‖ she said. ―You had better find someone else to go with.‖

The next day, Anna was feeling very sorry for herself. Then she had a visitor. It was Jane! She came with a big bag of fruit and a pile of their favorite CDs.

―I gave the tickets to Jill and Sue in the end,‖ she said. ―We‘ll go to another concert when you‘re well. It wouldn‘t be much fun without you.‖ WORD BANK pop 流行音乐 carefully 细心地
