Lesson 19 Working on a farm


It’s a fine day today, and everyone is busy. They are working hard on the farm. The children are
picking apples. Look! There’s Meimei! She’s very strong. She’s lifting that ladder. Now she’s holding
it for Jim. Jim is climbing up the ladder. He’s picking the apples on that tree. He’s putting them in a
basket. Some of the apples are hard to reach. They are too high. Be careful, Jim! It’s dangerous. Oh,
good! He’s coming down the ladder, now.
“You don’t have any apples, Jim,” says Li Lei. “I have more than you.”
“Do I have fewer apples than you? Let me see!” says Jim.
Jim looks at Li Lei’s apples. “Oh!” he says. “Yes, you have more than me. But mine are better than
yours. Look! Yours are green, and quite small. Mine are red, and they’re much bigger!”

Lesson 31 Who has the eraser?


Children often love to play this game. They play it like this: six students stand in a row in front of the
class. They put their hands behind their backs, so you can’t see their hands. The teacher gives one of
them an eraser. The eraser goes from one student to another first one way, then another. They must
keep their hands behind their backs. The other students in the class keep their eyes closed. They
mustn’t look.
Then the teacher says: “Stop and put your hands in front of you now.”
The six students put their hands in front of them. Now the other students open their eyes, and guess
who has the eraser. They ask questions like “Li Lei, is it in your right hand?”
They can have only five guesses.

Lesson 39 John’s Day


John is Canadian. He lives in a tall building in the city of Toronto. There are eighteen floors in the
building, and he lives on the fifteenth floor. He uses a lift to go up and down.
John works very hard. He goes to work early. Every day he leaves his home and walks to the lift. He
gets into the lift. It takes him down to the first floor.
He gets out of the lift. Then he walks to a bus stop. The bus stop is in front of a station. It is about
two hundred metres from his home.
Usually, he catches the number 11 bus to work, but sometimes he goes by train. John works in a
factory about ten kilometres from his home. His work starts at half past eight, and finishes at a quarter
to five. He gets back home at a quarter past five. He gets into the lift, and goes up to the twelfth floor.
Then he gets out of the lift and climbs up to the fifteenth floor on foot.
Every day he does the same thing. Why doesn’t he use the lift for the last three floors?

Lesson 51 Wei Hua’s busy day


Wei Hua had a busy day yesterday. She got up before 7 o’clock in the morning, and quickly washed
her hands and face. She got to school early. She had a little rest after lunch, but she worked hard in
class all day. She played basketball after school, and then walked home.
Wei Hua’s pen was broken, so she needed a new one. On her way home she bought a new pen at a
shop. When she reached home, she had a short rest and a glass of water. After that she helped her
parents. She quickly cooked the supper, and cleaned the house.
She watched TV for half an hour after supper. Then she started her homework. She finished it at half
past nine. She went to bed before a quarter to ten.
I asked Wei Hua this question: “Do you enjoy work?”
“Yes, I do,” she answered. “I like to keep busy!”
