Louise is writing about a recent trip to China.

暑假的時候，因為我的父母工作太忙，所以我參加了我們學校的一個活動----我們去了中國旅行。那時我只對中國歷史感興趣，對漢語這門語言沒有興趣，所以雖然已經學了一年多，可是我漢語說得非常不好。

北京給了我一個很好的印象。那裡的人很多，但是他們都很友好。市中心裡有古老的建築。除了參觀名勝古蹟以外，我買了一雙有名的鞋和幾張明信片。在公園我看到了一位老人用水在地上寫書法，我想問他為什麼在公園寫書法，但是我做不到。我對自己感到很生氣，因為我不會用中文問。那時我下決心回學校以後就好好地努力學習中文。下次去中國的時候，我也要自己用中文和中國人聊天。

You read an article about two young people who have different achievements and ambitions.

姚子(Yao Zi)

對我來說，音樂很重要。我愛和爸爸一起聽音樂。現在我和朋友們組成了一個樂團。我唱歌，也彈吉他。

但是媽媽覺得我應該多看書，專心學習，準備明年上大學。她經常說：“玩音樂太浪費時間了！”。我覺得媽媽太不懂我了。很多人喜歡我們的音樂，常常上網聽我們唱歌，下載我們的音

樂。

杜麗（Du Li）

我踢足球八年了。我喜歡足球運動，每天參加兩次訓練，所以我必須安排好時間，不和朋友出去玩,不吃甜的東西，也不喝汽水。我天天早上五點跑步，晚上九點睡覺。我們學校有很好的運動設備和教練，因此我可以一邊學習，一邊追求我的夢想。我將來要代表我的國家參加世界杯比賽。
