chair. 
My mother wanted to read a
book but the lamp was too small. My dad 
got
some hamburgers from the hotel kitchen, but they
were cold and 
tasted bad.

Sure! You can see my

Hainan is far from here. How did
you go there? 
We went there by plane. 
How
was the beach? What did you do there? 
It was
beautiful. I took lots of pictures, and I also
went swimming. 
Sounds great! Can I see your
pictures sometime? 
Sure.

summer holiday, Yifan? 
It was good. I went
swimming every weekend and took lots of pictures.
 
What’s your name?How about “Max”?

Friday, April
23
rd
 
Today was a sunny day. In the
morning, we rode a bike for three  
people. Max
sat in a basket on the front of the bike. That was
fun! We  
took pictures of the beautiful
countryside. We bought some gifts and ate
some delicious food.
 
9  20 
 
In the afternoon,
Mum ate some bad fruit and didn’t feel well. So we
stayed in the hotel. Dad and I wanted to make
her happy. We dressed up 
and made a funny
play. Robin played the part of a dog. He was so
cute. 
Max liked him so much. He jumped on him
and licked him. Of course, 
Robin didn’t like
it. We laughed and laughed. 
It was a bad day
but also a good day! 
 
Am I now on the
moon? I can’t believe it! She must be Chang’e. Oh,

Oh, it was a dream.

Unit Four  Then
and now 
Yifan, that’s your father.  
Wow!
You weren’t very big then, Mr Wu! 
No, so I
didn’t like PE class very much. I couldn’t run
fast or play 
basketball well. 
Our school
was small! 
We didn’t have a library, and there
weren’ 
There was no gym either! 
 
Wow,
a library! There was no library in my old school.
Tell us about your school, please. 
There
was only one small building on a hill. 
Could
you see stars at night? 
Yes, I liked the
stars. 
Me too. One day I’m going to visit the
moon. 
The Americans took about five days to
get there in 1969.  
How do you know that?
Easy, I looked it up on the Internet.  
 
’s photos! 
 
11  20 
That’s funny. Mike! You’re wearing a pink
T-shirt. 
Yes, but I don’t like pink now.
We are all different now! 
Right. Before, I
was quiet. Now, I’m very active in class. How
about you? 
Well, I was short, so I couldn’t
ride my bike well. Now, I go cycling every
day. I like it very much. 
That’s good
exercise. 
 
I didn’t like winter before. I
thought it was too cold, and I couldn’t go
cycling. 
How about now? 
Now I love to
ice-skate, so I like winter. 
 
What a
dream! 
Wu Yifan had a race with his father and
Max. There were many people 
there. His father
ran very fast, but Wu Yifan could not. There was
nothing he could do. He was so worried. “I
could run fast at school,” he 
thought. “Why am
I so slow now?” 
Then Robin said, “Drink this!”
and gave Wu Yifan some water. Wu Yifan 
drank
it and suddenly he felt good. He could run fast
again. 
There was a second race. There were
many animals in that race. Wu 
Yifan ran like a
cheetah. He could win the race! But suddenly he
tripped 
 
12  20 
 
and fell.
Then he woke up. He was in bed. It was all a
dream! 
 
Cavemen often ate raw meat. They
didn’t cook their food. 
Now there are many
things to help you cook. 
In 2050, there will
be house robots. They will cook, clean and wash
the 
dishes. 
There were many trees, and
there were many clean rivers. 
Now, there are
more and more buildings. 
We should help the
earth now, so birds will have homes and the
forests 
will be healthy and green again.
Before humans lived on the earth, whales
already lived in the sea. 
Now, there are not
many whales.  
If we change now, whales and
humans will have a bright future. 
 
Oh,
cavemen didn’t cook their meat? 
It’s OK. They
didn’t do the dishes either! 
Look! How
beautiful the world was! Oh! What will the birds
do? 
Don’t worry. People will help them.
Heal the world! 
Make it a better place!
 
It’s an elephant. It’s big. 
 
13
20 
 
Guess! Is this bigger or
smaller than the elephant? 
I think it’s bigger
than the elephant. 
No, it isn’t. It’s smaller.
Look. It’s a tiger. 
Look. The other card is a
whale. 
So the whale is the biggest, and the
tiger is the smallest. 
 
I go to school
from Monday to Friday. My favourite day is Monday.
On Monday I have maths, English, music and PE.
I like PE best. 
Maths is my first class. I
often answer maths questions. Sometimes
they’re difficult. 
In English class, I
read many English stories, and I like to speak
English 
with my friends. 
I play the piano
or sing songs in music class. This is very noisy
and often 
great fun. 
In the afternoon I
have PE class. I sometimes play football or
exercise in 
the gym. I’m not good at running,
but I like football best! 
 
Mike likes
Monday best. His favourite class is English.
English is his first class on Monday. He reads
many English stories, and 
he likes to speak
English with his friends. 
In the maths class,
Mike often answers very difficult maths questions.
In the PE class, Mike sometimes plays
basketball or exercises in the gym.

Dear Friends, 
It is time to leave our
school. We are all going to middle school soon, so
we will say goodbye to each other. We are
going to have a farewell party. 
You can bring
your friends.  
Place: Our music room  Time:
Friday  3 p.m. 
Activities: 
We will draw
pictures and sing songs. We are going to give
prizes for the 
best pictures. We are going to
have cake, candy and juice, too. 
Yum! 
We
will also give prizes to our good students. Who
studied hard? Who 
wrote the best story? Who
did the best homework? 
We will listen to
music, play games and dance. It will be great fun.
See you at the party! 
 
I have some
good news and some bad news. 
What is it?
I’m going away for a long time. 
I’m sorry
to hear that. 
Where are you going?
America. My father has a new job there. 
15  20 
 
That is good news for
your father. It’s sad news for me. 
Me too.
Are you going to a new school? 
I’m going
to a new middle school. I’ll be in Grade 7.
Will you promise to write to me? 
Of
course. 
Take care. 
Take care.
