My Favourite TV Programme
Like many students, I enjoy watching TV. I like cartoons, magic
shows, talk shows and many other kinds of TV programmes. Out of
all these, I like nature shows best and Animal World is my favourite.
I love animals. We have tortoises, birds and ish at home and I help
my dad feed them after school every day. They’re really interesting
and I love learning about animals. That’s why I love Animal World.
It shows animals from every part of the world. It shows lions
running after a deer or birds flying freely in the sky or whales
swimming in the blue ocean. The photographers and cameramen
get very close to the animals to show how they live in the wild. And
the host explains the animals’ habits clearly. I love the beautiful
scenery, the clear explanations and all the interesting information
in the programme.
I irst watched Animal World when I was ive and became a fan of
it. I hope the programme will continue for a long time.

My Teams
I like teams. I have fun working with my friends and
meeting new people. I’m on several teams and I join
these teams for different reasons.
I love playing football. I started playing on a football
team four years ago. Everybody has to be clear about
his role and cooperates with all the other players. It’s
exciting when we win a game. Can you see the old
photo of me?
I’m in the school Maths Club. I don’t like maths but
I like going to the Maths Club. We do lots of puzzles
and team games. We discuss ways to solve problems
together. Well, sometimes we “argue” but it’s fun.
I also play the drums in a band. All my friends are in
the band. We have fun together.

each other.
It was a cold and snowy morning after the winter vacation. Actually, it was my first
day at my new school. I was walking slowly and worrying about lots of things. It
was early and there weren’t many people on the road. A girl on a bike passed me
quickly. She was riding on ice when suddenly she fell off her bike a few steps in
front of me. She was trying hard to get up but fell again. Without thinking, I went
over and helped her stand up. She said,“ Thank you,” with a smile and then rode
away. The words“ Thank you” warmed me and this small event made me feel less
nervous about my new school.
Finally, I got to school. The teacher led me to the classroom and asked me to sit
down beside a girl. I was so nervous. I knew some of the students were looking at
me but I didn’t dare to look at them. Soon the first class started. It was English.
They used a different textbook from my old school and I didn’t have a copy. As I
was wondering what to do, a book appeared in front of me. “Let’s share,” the
girl next to me said. “And hi, I’m Carrie.” I looked up. It was the girl I helped
that morning. What a surprise!
From then on, we became good friends. She was my first and best friend
at my new school. Helping her also helped me find a friend.

1 In China in 1977, Pang Gensheng was working in the
forest when he saw something unusual. He got scared.
There was a strange man. He was tall and hairy. Pang
said he was about two metres tall with long arms, dark
eyes and big teeth. The two stood there. After a while,
Pang threw a stone at him. The big man was hurt. He
was making noises as he slowly walked away.
2 Dr Robert Kenneth Wilson was on holiday in Scotland
near Loch Ness. He saw a strange creature in the water,
so he took out his camera. He took about five photos
before the creature disappeared. Most of the photos
were not good. It was hard to see anything. However,
one photo was a bit better. It appeared in a newspaper in
1934. Before that, some people knew about the monster.
After that, it became famous. It was called the “Loch
Ness Monster”.

In 1966, two British sailors – John Ridgway and Chay
Blyth – were rowing across the Atlantic Ocean in a
small boat. During the trip, they saw many large fish.
One evening, it was getting dark. John Ridgway saw a
creature in the sea. It was a huge snake. It came toward
the boat, dived under it and came up on the other side
after some time.

Twenty Thousand Leagues

The Monster
Look at the picture. Read the first part of the
story. Order the paragraphs (a–d).
a I fell into the sea. Conseil jumped in and helped me but we
got lost in the dark. Then, I heard a familiar voice. It was
Ned! He was on top of the monster! It was made of metal! Ned
knocked on the metal. Suddenly, a door opened and eight men
came out.
b In 1866, a lot of ships around the world saw a strange
creature like a whale. It was very fast and it sometimes
destroyed ships. I was in America then and people asked me,
Professor Aronnax, for help. I am a scientist and know a lot about
the sea. I decided to go and find the monster.
c After months at sea, there was no sign of the monster. Then, one night,
in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, we saw it! It had a big, black body
and was about eighty metres long. There was a strange light around it.
Our captain tried to shoot at it and then the monster attacked us.
d We left New York on the “Abraham Lincoln”. I went with my servant,
Conseil. On the ship, there was a Canadian whale hunter called Ned.
He did not believe the stories about the “whale”. “How can a whale
destroy a metal ship?” Ned asked.
2 The Nautilus
Read the second part of the story. Which of these things
did Jules Verne predict in the story (in 1866)?
· robots · electric engines · electric light · diving suits · submarines · nuclear power
The men took us inside the enormous submarine. The commander was a tall,
handsome man. “My name is Nemo, Captain Nemo. You can stay here, on the
Nautilus,” he told us. “But you can never leave and tell the world about
it!”
The captain showed me his submarine. There was a dining room and a big
library. The engines used minerals from the sea to make electricity.
Captain
Nemo told me, “I love the sea. Here, I am free. I can escape from people.
I hate people!” Was Captain Nemo mad?
Life on the submarine was interesting and we had a lot of adventures.
We sometimes put on diving suits and walked on the sea bottom. We saw
colourful fish and beautiful coral.
One day, the Nautilus got stuck on a rock near a small island. Ned and I
78under the Sea
by Jules Verne
visited the island in a small boat. It was great to be on
land again! Ned was happy
and wanted to stay on the island. Suddenly, we saw some
natives! We were scared. We ran to the boat and quickly
returned to the submarine but the natives followed us
in canoes.
When the natives were on top of the submarine, Nemo
turned a switch to electrify it. The natives screamed
and jumped into the sea. That afternoon, the Nautilus
escaped from the reef and we sailed away.
3
The Monster
Read the last part of the story. What two
geographical mistakes are there in the story?
After that, we travelled around the world and saw some amazing things.
We crossed the Indian Ocean and near Ceylon (Sri Lanka). From there, we
went to the Red Sea and travelled through an underground tunnel into the
Mediterranean.
Near the Spanish coast, Nemo took us to the ruins of an underwater city:
Atlantis! Then, we went a long way south and saw icebergs. We went under
the ice and came to an island in a small sea. This was the South Pole!
From there we went up the coast of South America. One day, a giant squid
attacked the submarine. The monster picked up Ned and another sailor but
Captain Nemo killed the squid with his axe and saved the two men.
We went north to the USA and there was a bad storm near New York.
After months in the submarine, Ned was desperate to leave. We
asked the captain, but Nemo got angry and said, “NO!”Later,
when we were crossing the Atlantic, a warship started to
shoot at us and the captain sank it. Now he was completely
mad!
Finally, near the coast of Norway, Ned, Conseil and
I escaped in the submarine’s boat. When we were in
the boat, we heard the terrible sound of a whirlpool.
Luckily, we survived it and some fishermen picked us
up. We never saw Captain Nemo and the Nautilus again.
Maybe, the whirlpool destroyed them. Or maybe Captain
Nemo is still exploring the oceans …
