1. THINGS I LIKE TO DO

I have many interests. The activities I spend most of my

leisure on, however, are reading, jogging and painting.

I enjoy reading very much. I read widely, ranging from fairy

tales to non-fiction books on outer space and nature. Reading

helps to widen my general knowledge and improves my writing

skill. Therefore, my parents think well of my hobby and often buy

me books that I can not find in the library.

When my eyes get tired from reading too much, I would go

for a slow jog with my dog in the park near my house. Jogging

regularly makes one healthier. I have also made a few friends

among the regular joggers in the park.

Som etim es, instead of jogging, I would stroll in the park,

carrying with me Thy painting equipment. I love to capture

beautiful things on paper. I have taken arts lesson since I was

nine and I am especially good at water-colour painting. Besides

painting pictures of the park, I also like to draw portrait of my

family members.

All my interests are funny and useful pastimes. I believe that

everyone should spend their time on som e useful hobbies rather

than laze precious time away.

2. NEWSPAPER READING

Reading newspapers is good for school children since it

helps them to know more about their country and the people as

well as the world beyond. There are many benefits of reading

newspapers. Besides increasing our general knowledge, it

improves our standard of English if we are in the habit of reading

newspapers daily.

It is important to know what our government is doing for the

welfare of its citizens. We will know about governm ent programs

like building flats, constructing bridges or roads and opening new

school from newspapers.

Som etim es we read about events in far away countries in

Africa or South America. It is interesting to know about

earthquake disaster or volcanic explosion. All this is information

which a newspaper reports.

Newspaper reading is also considered a pastime if we take it

as a casual reading.

3. A BLACKOUT

W e were all watching a humourous television programme

and laughing gaily. The next m om ent, it was pitch dark. I was too

surprised to open my mouth, but my little sister, Alice, screamed

shrilly.

My elder brother immediately told her to shut up. Our

parents had gone for a show, so big Peter was to take charge. He

felt his way into his room to get his torch. B an g!... "O u ch!" Peter

must had knocked into his big chair. Soon , we saw a beam of

light and Peter came out of his room, rubbing his left knee.

He told us to follow him to the kitchen to hunt for candles

and matches. We rummaged through the drawers and found

twelve small coloured candles and a box of m atches. 1 realized the

candles were the ones used for my birthday a few days ago.

Together, we went back to the sitting room and lit the

candles. Peter arranged the candles in a semi circle on the glass

table and they gave a warm and cheerful glow.

T o while away the time, Peter told us a fairytale. However,

before the tale the ended, the lights cam e on. We felt proud that

we had handled the situation well and looked forward to telling

our parents about it.

4. MIKILE’S HUNT

Mikile lives far to the north, in Greenland. He is one of the

Inuit people. They live much as Eskimos have for hundreds of

years. Today, though, is an important one for Mikile. He is now

old enough to be a real Inuit hunter.

With the other hunters, Mikile is in a small boat. They paddle

slowly in order to sneak up on a herd of six narwhals. A narwhal

is a three-thousand-pound whale with a single long horn in its

forehead. Coming within a few feet of one of the whales, Mikile

throws his harpoon. The other hunters quickly paddle over to

help. Still fighting against the strong whale, Mikil6 is pleased.

There will be food for the family during the long Greenland

nights.

1. hunter (n): ngadi di san

2. to paddle (v): cheo xuong

3. A PLEASANT DREAM

My story book entitled “Fairy tales” slipped from my fingers

and fell onto the carpet. I felt too sleepy to pick it up.

Suddenly, the door bell rang. 1 went to answer it and was

surprised to see seven dwarfs standing at the door. O ne of them

was holding a glittering shoe. W hen I put it on, I was immediately

transformed into a beautiful princess in a lovely gown. T he dwarfs

then took me to the palace in a carriage to see the king.

The king gave me a warm em brace. “Cinderella, my

daughter, you're final hom e", he said. “T he maids will see to your

every need". Ja n e , who was always quarreling with m e in class,

becam e very submissive as my maid. I tried on many beautiful

dresses and shoes and thought that I had never looked so pretty

before. There w eie also many cooks who prepared all my

favourite dishes.

One day, I was riding my horse to visit a duke when I heard

my mum saying, “Cindy, hurry up! You'll be late!" Sh e started

shaking me so hard that 1 almost fell off my horse. I woke up and

found myself in my bedroom. It had only been a dream, but it was

certainly a wonderful start to my day.

6. THE PERSON I HATE MOST

W e cannot be friendly with all people whom we cam e to

m eet. W e hate som e people for good reasons.

T he person I hate most is Billy, who lives a few blocks away

from my flat. He is bully, a pick-pocket and an extortioner. He

was arrested by the police several times and still he is incorrigible.

T he boy has grown up on the streets, for his parents had died

when he was only five years old.

O nce he was arrested for being a vagrant and kept in the

welfare hom e for som e time. On another occasion he picked a

m an’s pocket and was jailed for six months. H e demanded

money from youngsters like me and if we refused he would

threaten us with a knife.

I am terribly afraid of this bully. I am sure, one day he will

land up in prison with a longer sentence. This boy is a danger to

the society and so 1 hate him. I hope everyone will agree with me.

1. bully (n): ke dung vu luc de ham doa, lam ton thucfng

ngudi khac

2. extortioner (n): ke tong tien, ke moi tien

3. to arrest (v): bat giu

4. incorrigible (adj): khong the sua chira duoc
