M Hello, this is Mark. W Hey Mark. This is Brenda.
M I’m just calling to ask you about our homework.
W O. Just a minute, let me get my notebook. But why you looked stressed out in class today?
M Because I stayed up watching the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. You know China did very well this time. I was very excited when I watched them on TV.
W Yes. When I hear the good news, I am proud of our players, too. By the way, how many gold medals did China get?
M Five. Three more than the last Winter Olympic Games in the U.S. Text B Dear Mum,
I don’t think you understand my life. You think I should be studying all the time. I know you want me to find a good job when I grow up, but I would like to have a wonderful time, too. You never think about fun things for me to do, like music, sports. Two days ago, when I was watching a football game on TV, you asked me to stop and do my homework. After finishing my homework, I still wasn’t allowed to read football magazines. You said I had to go to bed early. That was bad enough, but yesterday was even worse. I bought some computer games, and put them in my bag so that you wouldn’t see them. But you found them in the end. Though I told you I wouldn’t play with them until I finished my homework, you told me that Dad would talk to me later, Mum, I didn’t quite like what you did to me! I really love you, Mum, but I wish you could try not to be so hard on me.
Yours, Paul

Text B
Many countries have holidays to bring good luck. In Thailand, people hold a water festival. It’s in the middle of April when people pour water on each other.
ite flying has a special meaning in orea. On January 15, many orean boys write “No bad luck” on their kites and fly them high in the sky. Then they cut the strings. The kites will then fly away. The bad luck is taken away for the year.
The Chinese New Year is usually a one-week holiday, children get “lucky money” in red envelops. Before the New Year, Chinese people always clean their houses to clean out bad luck. Everything must be fresh and clean for the new year.
