Module 1 My First Day at Senior High
My name is Li Kang. I live in Shijiazhuang, a city not far from Beijing. It is the capital cit
y of Hebei Province. Today is my first day at Senior High school and
I’m
writing down
my thoughts about it.
My new school is very good and I can see why. The teachers are very enthusiastic and
friendly and the classrooms are amazing. Every room has a computer with a special scre
en, almost as big as a cinema screen. The teachers write on the computer, and their word
s appear on the screen behind them. The screens also show photographs, text and infor
mation from websites.
They’re
brilliant!
The English class is really interesting. The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called
Ms Shen.
We’re
using a new textbook and Ms
Shen’s
method of teaching is nothing l
ike that of the teachers at my Junior High school. She thinks that reading comprehension
is important, but we speak a lot in class, too. And we have fun. I
don’t
think I will be b
ored in Ms
Shen’s
class!
Today we introduced ourselves to each other. We did this in groups. Some students w
ere embarrassed at first but everyone was very friendly and it was really nice. Ms Shen ga
ve us instructions and then we worked by ourselves.
Ms Shen wants to help us improve our spelling and handwriting. We do this in a fun
way, with spelling games and other activities. I like her attitude very much, and the behav
ior of the other students shows that they like her, too.
There are sixty-five students in my class
–
more than my previous class in Junior Hig
h. Forty-nine of them are girls. In other words, there are three times as many girls as boy

.
s. They say that girls are usually more hard-working than boys, but in this
精品

class, everyone is hard-working. For our homework tonight, we have to write a descripti
on of the street where we live.
I’m
looking forward to doing it!
A Letter from a Senior High Student
Dear Li Kang,
How’s
it going? I thought
I’d
write to tell you about the American school system. Sec
ondary school in the US usually covers seven years, grades six to twelve. Ninth to twelfth
grades are high school. At the end of twelfth grade, American students receive the high s
chool diploma. Students need a high school diploma if they want to go to college.
The school year is divided into two semesters, the first of which is September through
December, and the second January through May. We have a LONG summer vacation!
We start school at 7:50 am and we finish at 3 pm.
I take part in all kinds of after-school activities
–
I play football, basketball, volleyball
, table tennis and I go to theater club.
Will you tell me something about your summer vacation and the Chinese school syste
m in your next letter? Best wishes, Rob Marshall
Module 2 My New Teachers
They say that first impressions are very important. My first impression of Mrs. Li was tha
t she was nervous and shy. I think perhaps she was, as it was her first lesson with us. But
now, after two weeks, the class really likes working with her.
She’s
kind and patient, an
精品
.
d she explains English grammar so clearly that even I can understand it!
–
She avoids m
aking you fell stupid!
I’ve
always hated making mistakes or pronouncing a word incorre
ctly when I speak English, but Mrs. Li just smiles, so that you
don’t
feel completely stu
pid! I think maybe she goes a bit too slowly for the faster students, but for me
it’s
won
derful! I feel
I’m
going to make progress with her.

.
I’d
guess that Mrs. Chen is almost sixty.
She’s
very strict
–
we do
n’t
dare to say
a word unless she asks us to.
She’s
also very serious and
doesn’t
smile much .when s
he asks you to do something, you do it immediately! There are a few students in our class
who keep coming to class late but
they’re
always on time for Mrs.
Chen’s
lessons! So
me of our class
don’t
like her, but most of us really appreciate her because her teaching
is so well organized and clear. And a few students even admit liking her! During scientifi
c experiments, she explains exactly what is happening and as a result my work is improvi
ng. Physics will never be my favourite lesson, but I think that
I’ll
do well in the exam w
ith Mrs. Chen teaching me.
Mr.
Wu’s
only been teaching us for two weeks and
he’s
already very popular. I thi
nk this is because he really enjoys teaching Chinese literature
–
he loves it, in fact!
He’
s got so much energy, this is one class you do not fall asleep in!
He’s
about 28, I think,
and is rather good-looking. He talks loudly and fast, and waves his hands about a lot whe
n he gets excited.
He’s
really amusing and tells jokes when he thinks
we’re
getting bo
red. Even things like compositions and summaries are fun with Mr. Wu.

I respect him a lot.
Different Countries, Different Schools
It is interesting to look at differences between schools in different countries. In many Eu
ropean countries, for example, the relationship between teachers and students is quite for
mal. This is true of France, Germany, and Spain, where discipline and respect for the teac
her is considered very important. The same is true of Russia. In northern European coun
tries, however, the relationship between teachers and students is much friendlier and mor
e relaxed. In America, students and teachers are quite relaxed with each other. In Britain,
relationships are quite relaxed, but teachers can have big problems with discipline.
Another important difference is whether schools are state schools or private schools.
State schools are paid for by the government, but in private schools, the parents pay for t
he education of their children. Germany and France have both state and private schools,
but most students go to state schools, which are very good. Similarly, America has both s
tate and private schools. Most American children go to state schools, but the private sch
ools can be very good. Britain has both state and private schools. In Russia, children go t
o state schools.
Module 3 My First Ride on a Train
My name is Alice Thompson. I come from Sydney, Australia and
I’m
18 years old. Rec
精品
.
ently I had my first ride on a long-distance train. And what a ride! A friend and I traveled
on the famous Ghan train. We got on in Sydney and we got off in Alice Springs, right in
the middle of Australia, more than four thousand kilometers away. We spent two days an
d nights on the train.

.
The train was wonderful and the food was great. We ate great meals cooked by expert
s! For the first few hundred kilometers of the journey, the scenery was very colorful. The
re were fields and the soil was dark red. After that, it was desert. The sun shone, there wa
s no wind and there were no clouds in the sky. Suddenly, it looked like a place from anot
her time. We saw abandoned farms which were built more than a hundred years ago.
The train was comfortable and the people were nice. During the day, I sat and looked
out of the window, and sometimes talked to other passengers. I read books and listened t
o my Chinese cassettes
(I’m
studying Chinese at school). One night, at about midnight,
I watched the night sky for about an hour. The stars shone like diamonds.
Why is the train called the Ghan? A long time ago, Australians needed a way to travel
to the middle of the country. They tried riding horses, but the horses
didn’t
like the hot
weather and sand. A hundred and fifty years ago, they brought some camels from Afgha
nistan. Ghan is short for Afghanistan.
Camels were much better than horses for traveling a long distance. For many years, tr
ained camels carried food and other supplies, and returned with wool and other products
.
The Afghans and their camels did this until the 1920s. Then the government built a n
ew railway line, so they
didn’t
need the camels any more. In 1925, they passed a law wh
ich allowed people to shoot the animals if they were a problem. In 1935, the police in a t
own shot 153 camels in one day.

The Maglev
–
the Fastest Train in the World
The fastest train in the world, the Transrapid Maglev, runs between
Shanghai’s
Pudong
Airport and Longyang station in downtown Shanghai. Traveling at a speed of over 400 k
ilometers per hour, the train can complete the 30-kilometer journey in eight minutes.
Maglev means
“magnetically
levitated”.
The Transrapid Maglev is the
world’s
firs
t high-speed train using magnetic levitation technology. Magnetically levitated trains trave
l in a vacuum between two magnets. There are no rails and no noise. They travel very fas
t and they use less energy.
On December 31, 2002, Premier Zhu Rongji and the German chancellor attended the
opening ceremony of the train service. Both leaders took the train to Pudong Airport.
On November 12, 2003, the Maglev reached a speed of 501 kilometers per hour on th
e track between Longyang Station and Pudong, a new world record speed for a train.
