[00:-6.00]Section 1 New words and Ideas

[00:-7.00]I've got new friends!

[00:-8.00]September 28,2004 Dear Jenny,

[00:-9.00]We have been talking to each other mostly through e-mail.

[00:10.00]This time,i choose to write a letter instead,

[00:11.00]as I feel like writing English with a pen.

[00:12.00]When I write with a pen,it seems easier for me to express my thoughts and feeling.

[00:13.00]It is almost a month since school started.I really like being in high school.

[00:14.00]It's exciting.There are so many new things to do and so many new frineds to meet.

[00:15.00]Hight school students in China live a busy but colourful life.

[00:16.00]We are under lots of pressure.

[00:17.00]We have to work hard for the National College Entrance Examinations,

[00:18.00]which will take place in less three years.

[00:19.00]The examinations will be extremely competitive.

[00:20.00]Now I have a great group of friends.

[00:21.00]We take all of our classes together in the same classroom.

[00:22.00]It's good to have friends to study with because we can help each other.

[00:23.00]I'm pretty good at English,so many guys ask me for help in English class.

[00:24.00]I dont' mind.After school we usually go to play sports for a little while.

[00:25.00]Sometimes we take a walk down by th river or visit some bookstores.

[00:26.00]We have to be back for evening class at 7:30.

[00:27.00]Amoug this group,there is one guy named Dazhi,whom I like most.

[00:28.00]I met him on the sports ground one afternoon.He was sitting alone,deep in thought.

[00:29.00]I went up him and introduced myself.

[00:30.00]I learned from our talk that he is from the countryside

[00:31.00]some two hundred kilometres away from Shijiazhuang.

[00:32.00]Dazhi's fascinating life has been very different from mine.

[00:33.00]As time goes on,I find we have many similar interests and hobbies.

[00:34.00]I think I can learn a lot from him.

[00:35.00]Being friends means learning from each other.Don't you thing so?

[00:36.00]I have invited Dazhi to come to my hom for dinner this Sunday.

[00:37.00]I think we will have a good time together.

[00:38.00]We will have lots of things to share with each other.

[00:39.00]I am quite happy with this growing friendship.

[00:40.00]It has opened a door to many new experiences.

[00:41.00]I must go back to class now. Bye,your friend,Li Ming

[00:42.00]October 7,2004 Dear Li Ming,

[00:43.00]Thank you very much for your letter.

[00:44.00]Yes.I agree with you that writing with a pen is sometimes

[00:45.00]a better way to express our thoughts and feelings.

[00:46.00]When I type on the computer I feel like I am doing homework,

[00:47.00]but when I write,I feel more creative.

[00:48.00]Writing to my friends is something I do for pleasure,

[00:49.00]not because I have to do it.

[00:50.00]Like you,I really enjoy being in high school.

[00:51.00]Indeed,there are so many new friends to meet and so many new thing to do.

[00:52.00]My best friend is named Pat.She attends the same school,

[00:53.00]but we are not having all the classes together.

[00:54.00]We have our gym class together every day in the third block.

[00:55.00]I like having Pat at my school.

[00:56.00]We eat lunch together in the cafeteria every day.

[00:57.00]We talk and laugh a lot.I would hate to eat lunch alone.

[00:58.00]Yesterday,we eat with two other girls who are in Pat's science class.

[00:59.00]They were very nice.We started talking and I was surprised to find out

[-1:00.00]that one of them has a cousin who lives near my house.

[-1:-1.00]Mabybe we will get together at her cousin's house one day.

[-1:-2.00]I like meeting new friends.

[-1:-3.00]Pat and I want to try out for the basketball team this year.

[-1:-4.00]Playing sports is a lot of fun and a good way to meet friends,too. [-1:-5.00]Last year,my friend Kera and I palyed on a team together.

[-1:-6.00]Every time I has a bad game,she was always there to encourage me

[-1:-7.00]and meke me feel better.

[-1:-8.00]She would tell me to forget about the mistakes and focus on the rest of the game.

[-1:-9.00]Sometimes she would make a joke

[-1:10.00]and then we would laugh and continue playing the game.

[-1:11.00]It always feels good to have friends

[-1:12.00]to share the good times as well as the bad times.

[-1:13.00]Sometimes we took a bus to other cities for the weekend for games.

[-1:14.00]I really liked those!I hope we can go on trips with this team,too.

[-1:15.00]This Friday,Pat is having a party ar her house[-1:16.00]These will be six girls there,including me,and we will have a sleep-over.

[-1:17.00]I can hardly wait!Sleep-over parties are the best!

[-1:18.00]We listen to music and talk and talk and talk all night long.

[-1:19.00]I think the most important thing for me is to have good friends to talk to.

[-1:20.00]I like to talk to them everything

[-1:21.00]-everyday things,funny things,difficult things,and important things.

[-2:19.00]The Power of Friendship

[-2:20.00]Dogs and elephants,just like lions and tigers,nor cats and mice,

[-2:21.00]traditionally have been"natural enemies".

[-2:22.00]Dogs bark at elephants because they are afraid of the large animals.

[-2:23.00]Elephants get annoyed at the barking dogs and chase them.

[-2:24.00]It has been like that forever.

[-2:25.00]Once upon a time,there was a well-fed royal bull elephant.

[-2:26.00]Living nearby was a poorly-fed stray dog.

[-2:27.00]The dog was attracted by the smell of the rich sweet rice

[-2:28.00]being fed to the royal elephant.

[-2:29.00]He began to eat the rice that fell from the elephants mouth[-2:30.00]While enjoying his food,the mighty elephant didn't notice the tiny,shy,stray dog.

[-2:31.00]Feeding on the pieces of food dropped from the elephant's mouth,

[-2:32.00]the once underfed dog gradually grew bigger and stronger,

[-2:33.00]and became very handsome.

[-2:34.00]The good-natured elephant began to enjoy the dog's company.

[-2:35.00]The dog grew used to being around the elephant.

[-2:36.00]He lost his fear and no longer barked at him.

[-2:37.00]Before long,neither would eat without the other.

[-2:38.00]When they played,the dog would grab the elephant's heavy trunk,

[-2:39.00]and the elephant would swing him forward and backward,

[-2:40.00]from side to side,up and down,and even in circles!

[-2:41.00]So it was that they became"best friends,"and never wanted to be separated.

[-2:42.00]Then one day,a man from a remote village,

[-2:43.00]who was visiting the city,passed by the elephant shed.

[-2:44.00]He saw the beautiful dog and bought him from the mahout.

[-2:45.00]He took the dog back to his home village,

[-2:46.00]without anyone knowing where that was.

[-2:47.00]Soon,the royal bull elephant became very said.

[-2:48.00]since he missed his best friend the dog.

[-2:49.00]He didn't want to do anything,not even eat or drink or bathe.

[-2:50.00]So the mahout had to report this to king,

[-2:51.00]although he said nothing about selling the friendly dog.

[-2:52.00]It just so happened that the king had an intelligent minister

[-2:53.00]who was known for his understanding of animals.

[-2:54.00]He ordered the minister to go and find the reason for the elephant's condition.

[-2:55.00]The wise minister saw once that the royal bull elephant was sad.

[-2:56.00]He thought,"This once happy elephant does not appear to be sick in any way.

[-2:57.00]But I have seen this condition before,in men and animals alike.'

[-2:58.00]Then he said to the guards,"I find no sickness.

[-2:59.00]He seems to be grief-stricken due to the loss of a friend.

[-3:00.00]Do you know if this elephant had a close friendship with anyone?"

[-3:-1.00]They told him about the friendship between the royal elephant and the stray dog.

[-3:-2.00]The minister returned to the king and said.

[-3:-3.00]"Your majesty,I am happy to say your elephant is not sick.

[-3:-4.00]As strange as it may sound,he became best friends with a stray dog!

[-3:-5.00]Since the dog has been taken away,

[-3:-6.00]the elephant and does not feel like eating or drinking or bathing."

[-3:-7.00]"Friendship is one of life's most wonderful things.

[-3:-8.00]My minister,how can we bring back my elephant's friend and make him happy again?"

[-3:-9.00]"My lord,"replied the minister,"I suggest you make an official announcement.

[-3:10.00]Whoever has the dog that used to live to the royal elephant shed,will be fined[-3:11.00]This was done.When the villager heard of it,he released the dog from his house.

[-3:12.00]The dog ran as far as he could,straight back to his best friend,

[-3:13.00]the royal bull elephant.

[-3:14.00]The elephant was so overjoyed that he picked up his friend with his trunk

[-3:15.00]and sat him on top of his head.

[-3:16.00]The happy dog wagged his tail while the elephant danced with delight.

[-3:17.00]They both lived happily ever after.
