Dear Parents,
We are happy to have our summer trip to the Children Movie Museum and the Sports Park on Thursday, July 11th (Grade Seven) and Friday, July 12th (Grade Eight). Students can learn lots of very interesting things about the cinema and how movies are made. They will also learn about many sports and their rules.
Meeting Time: 7:40 am
Leaving Time: 8:00 am
Meeting Place: at the school gate
Arriving Time: by 5:00 pm
We have this trip for the students to learn outside the classroom and also have a good time with friends. Students need to take a pen and a notebook with them because they have to take notes about what they see. They also need to wear their school uniforms and sports shoes. Please tell them to follow the rules in the museum and the park.
We will be eating lunch at the dining hall of the park. The cost of the trip is 40 yuan. It is for the bus ride and the lunch.
If your child cannot come, please tell your head teacher by July 8th in your class teacher-parent WeChat group.
You can always see some park workers dressed as movie or cartoon characters(角色) in some theme parks(主题公园）like Disneyland. We call them costumed characters. What is it like to be a costumed character at a theme park?
Dave Jackson has this interesting job. He works as a costumed character in Disneyland. There are always so many visitors in this park. Every day Dave puts on a Mickey Mouse suit and plays with the visitors to make them happy. Many visitors, especially the young children, take photos with him.
Some people may think his job is quite easy. But in fact, it's sometimes a little difficult. First of all, the costumes are very heavy. And it's difficult to go to the washing room with a heavy costume. Second, the space he works is very small, so he usually gets tired after standing there for a long time. What's more, the most difficult part is working in hot weather! He always sweats a lot, and the sweat can run into his eyes.
"My job is not easy, but it is also great fun." says Dave. "Looking back, I must be in quite a lot of people's family photos. It is really cool.

Last Monday afternoon my classmates and I went to eat in a small dining place near our school.
It wasn't good time for us to get there as there were so people. So we to wait for a table. We waited for about half an hour before we could sit down and started to some food. Later our potato and mutton noodles came. However, there only a little mutton in the noodles! The waiter said, "I know the mutton noodles are short of mutton. But it is not as as before, right? A large bowl was 15 yuan before and now it is only 12 yuan." Then one of my classmates found a fly(苍蝇) in his noodles. "Wow! How can your restaurant be so unclean?!" My classmate asked the waiter. "Don't worry, boy. The fly is free. You don't need to pay it," said the waiter.
terrible the place is! We were so angry we couldn't say a word! Then we took some photos of the noodles and put on our WeChat Moments(朋友圈). Now fewer and fewer people would like to eat there.

Dear Annie, I know how you feel. Please don't worry. Many students have the problems you have. You think your parents are too strict with you. Sometimes you may feel unhappy, but it seems that they just want to protect(保护) you. First, you can't go out on school nights but have to stay at home doing the homework. I also think middle school students should stay at home on school nights. Your parents want you to study hard. Second, your parents ask you to do the dishes after dinner every day. I think it is OK. Everyone in a family should help with the housework. But if sometimes you are too tired or have too much homework, you can tell them. Last, you said you liked playing badminton very much, but your parents didn't allow(允许) you to have fun doing that with your friends on weekends. I don't think that is right. You need to relax yourself! Why don't you talk with your parents? Tell them your feelings. And you can also ask your teacher to talk to them. I'm sure things will be better from now on. Good luck! Yours, Dr. Know |
