C. How to Save Elephants
Hi, I’m Malee and I live in Thailand!
The elephant is my favourite animal. I love elephants because they are
strong and clever. They are also a symbol of good luck here. The elephant
is our national animal. On 13 March, we celebrate Thai Elephant Day.
Elephants look very different from other animals. They are huge. They
have large ears and long trunks. They can pick up and carry heavy things
with their trunks.
Elephants are like us in some ways. They are very playful and love to play
in the water. They are great swimmers. They are also clever. For example,
they can remember one another and places with food and water after
many years. Elephants are very kind too. They look after other elephants
when they don’t feel well. The big elephants also help the baby ones.
Elephants are an important part of
Thai life and culture. However, they
are in danger. They live in forests,
but people cut down too many
trees. People also kill elephants for
their ivory. Let’s save the forests
and not buy things made of ivory.
Every elephant counts.

1. When do Thai people celebrate Thai Elephant Day?

NEWSLETTER
Improve Your Eating Habits
Healthy eating is important for a healthy body and mind. Both what we
eat and how we eat are important!
For example, some people have fast food every week. It is easy and
delicious! But it often has lots of salt, fat, and sugar. That makes us put
on weight. Eating fast food like pizza and hamburgers too often may
cause heart problems later. If you cook your own meals instead, you can
make healthy balanced meals.
Eating three meals a day is important. But some people don’t have
breakfast. Maybe they don’t feel hungry in the morning, or they are too
busy to eat anything. But food gives us energy. It is easy to feel sleepy
and find it hard to focus on our work or studies if we don’t eat breakfast.
Some people also eat too many sweet things. Ice cream, sweets, and
chocolate are delicious, but they usually have lots of sugar. This can
cause tooth problems. When you want
a snack, why don’t you have some fruit
instead? After all, an apple a day keeps
the doctor away.
Remember: You are what you eat. Healthy
eating means eating healthy food and
having good eating habits.

I have some good eating habits. I eat three meals a day, and I

friends don’t like carrots or other vegetables, and they don’t eat
them, but I eat all kinds of vegetables.

However, I have some bad eating habits too. First, I drink too many
soft drinks. I love soft drinks because they taste so good! But soft
drinks usually have a lot of sugar. They’re bad for me. Second, I
don’t drink enough water. I drink water when I am thirsty, but it’s
better to drink before I get thirsty. In future, I should drink more
water.

Friday, 30 May
Today we went on a school trip to a farm! It was tiring but great
fun! In the morning, we explored the farm. There were large tents
with tomatoes, cucumbers, and many other fruits and vegetables.
The farmer told us about how these fruits and vegetables go from
the fields to our tables. I was very interested because I usually
only see them in the supermarket.
Then we got straight to work! First, we picked some strawberries.
The work seemed easy, but it took time to get it right. Slowly, we
filled many baskets. In the afternoon, the farmer taught us how
to cut branches and leaves from tomato plants. This helps them
to grow more fruit. Finally, we watered the plants. Plants need so
much work! It was tiring, but I enjoyed working with my hands.
One thing I learnt today: Farming isn’t easy!
It made me think of the saying,“Every grain
comes from hard work.”The farmer let us
take some vegetables home. My mum cooked
some for dinner, and they were fresh and
delicious! They certainly taste better when
you work for them! Today was really a day
to remember.

The Ugly Duckling
Once upon a time, there was a mother duck. She had
six little ducklings. Five of the ducklings were small
and yellow, but the last duckling was big and grey. “He
doesn’t look like us! What an ugly duckling!” the other
ducklings said. “That’s not nice!” said Mother Duck. “He’s still a duck like us!”
At the river, the ugly duckling swam well, just like all the other ducklings. But
the other ducklings still laughed at him and told him to go away. It made the
poor duckling very sad, so he decided to search for a new home. He met many
other birds, but all of them thought that he was ugly too. They did not want him
to live with them.
One day, the duckling met a cat and a hen. “May I stay with you?” he asked
hopefully. But the two animals said no. They did not like him because he could
not purr or lay eggs!
Some days later, the ugly duckling came to a lake. There, he saw three beautiful
swans with long necks and white feathers. “I wish I looked like you!” he cried.
“My friend, you do look like us! Look in the water!” one of the swans said. The
duckling looked down, and to his surprise, he saw that he was a beautiful white
swan too!

strange and unusual as the octopus. There are around 300
different kinds of octopuses, and they come in all sizes!
The smallest is only around 2.5 centimetres long, but some
octopuses can grow up to more than five metres long. There
was even an octopus over nine metres long!
The octopus’s body is very interesting. All octopuses have
eight arms. Their brain is not just in their head, but also in their arms! This helps
them to think about and do more than one thing at once. Octopuses can also fit into
small places because they do not have any bones! And did you know that octopuses
have three hearts? These hearts work with different parts of the body.
Octopuses can also do many amazing things. Most of them can change their colour
and shape to look like plants or other sea animals, and they can also make ink. They
keep it inside a very small bag in their body. When they produce ink, the ink makes it
hard for other animals to see them. This helps the octopuses to get away fast. What’s
more, when an octopus loses an arm, it can grow it back!
Studying amazing animals like the octopus is important because we can learn a lot
from them. But they also show us how wonderful nature is and why it is important
to protect it!

Healthy Body,
Healthy Mind
We all know exercise is important, yet we
don’t always want to do it! Often we are
too busy or feel lazy. But we should try our
best to exercise every day.
Exercise is good for our body. When we exercise, our body changes. Exercise develops
our muscles and makes us stronger. When we exercise, we use energy. This keeps our
weight down. Being overweight puts stress on our body. It can cause pain in our back
and knees, and even cause more serious problems such as heart disease later in life.
Exercise is also great for our brain. During exercise, our heart beats faster and we
breathe harder. Our brain gets more oxygen because of this, and that helps our
memory improve. Scientists also tell us the body makes more of certain chemicals
after exercise. This helps us to learn and think well. So, when you have trouble with
your homework, do some exercise, then try again!
Exercise also helps us to feel happier. When we exercise, our brain makes special
chemicals. These chemicals can relax our body and calm our mind. Feeling fit can also
make us feel better and more confident about ourselves. When we play a sport with
others, we can even make new friends.
Remember: Health is wealth. The more you exercise, the healthier you become. Try
to make exercise a part of your life.

Food Myths
“Only fruit and vegetables are
healthy foods.”
The human body needs to eat many
different types of food to stay healthy.
The Chinese Food Guide Pagoda shows
us what food we should eat. While
fruit and vegetables are healthy
choices, it is just as important to eat
foods from other food groups. Milk,
for example, contains many nutrients and is good for our bones. We should include
milk or dairy products among the things we eat.
“Eating fat makes you fat.”
Eating fat is important for keeping us healthy. It gives us energy and helps our body
to take in nutrients. Not all fat makes us gain weight. Some fat can even encourage
our body to lose weight. It is necessary to include some, but not too much, fat in our
food to help our body work well.
“It’s OK to eat only what I like while I’m young.”
When we are young, it might feel like we can just eat whatever we want! For example,
sweets and fried foods taste delicious. But we cannot eat those foods alone. Eating
balanced meals is very important when we are young. It helps our body and brain to
grow well. Bad eating habits may stay with us our whole life, so it is best to develop good
eating habits early!

Weather and Mood
Do you know how weather affects our lives? Well, it affects
where we go, what we do, and what we wear. And it also
affects how we feel and behave. It is a big part of our lives!
We often use weather language to describe how we feel. For example, if we are feeling
ill, we say we are “under the weather”. If we are feeling stressed and busy, we can say
that we are “snowed under”. We use “bad” weather (rainy, stormy, etc.) to describe a bad
mood, and “good” weather (sunny, warm, etc.) to describe a good mood.
And that is not all. The weather can even change the way we feel! For example, sunlight
helps our body to produce vitamin D. This vitamin can improve our mood. But some parts
of the world get little sunlight in winter, so people can feel unusually sad then. However,
when it is hot and sunny, some people may get angry easily too! Scientists are still
studying how the weather changes the way people feel and behave.
These days, many of us spend less time outside than in the past. Getting no fresh air or
sunlight and spending too much time inside can make us feel down. It is very important to
go outside once in a while, whatever the weather, rain or shine!
1 Read the text and correct the statements.
1. The weather doesn’t really affect how we feel and behave.
2. If we are feeling ill, we can say that we are “snowed under”.
3. We use sunny or warm weather to describe negative moods.
4. Darkness helps us produce more vitamin D.
5 . We can feel down if we spend too much time outside.
2 Use a dictionary to help you match the weather idioms with their meanings.
Then find more weather idioms and share them with a partner.

Wednesday, 22 July
Today was an amazing day. There was a total solar
eclipse in Wuhan! I woke up early because I couldn’t
wait to see it!
My friends and I went down to the Yangtze River
to find a good place to watch it. We took cameras,
chairs, food and drink, and special glasses so we
could look at it. Lots of people gathered there to
watch too. Slowly, the moon moved in front of the sun. It looked like someone bit a
hole in the sun! It got darker and darker as the moon slowly covered the sun.
At 9:26 a.m. the moon completely covered the sun. The sky went dark. The crowd
gasped and cheered. The light of the sun made a ring of light around the moon.
I took this photograph then. The total eclipse lasted for over five minutes! Then it
passed and the sky started to get brighter again.
I was really inspired by the eclipse this morning. In the afternoon, I spent hours
reading about astronomers, eclipses, and how the planets move in our solar system.
The universe is simply amazing! I also watched some videos with famous Chinese
astronauts. I want to become an astronaut or astronomer someday too. The sky is

wife. One day, something very special happened.
Scene One [The fisherman’s hut.]
Fisherman: An amazing thing happened when I went fishing today! I caught a little
golden fish. It could speak! It promised me whatever I wanted if I set it free.
Wife: At last, fortune smiles upon us! What did you wish for?
Fisherman: Well … I felt sorry for the fish, so I just put it back into the sea.
Narrator: His wife was very angry and made him find the fish.

make a wish. We need a new pot. Please
give us one!
Narrator: The golden fish said yes, and it went back
into the water.
Scene Three [The fisherman’s hut.]
Narrator: Back home, the fisherman found a new pot outside the house.
Fisherman: Look, a new pot!
Wife: You fool! Can’t you see we need a new house instead? Go back again and
ask for one!
Scene Four [By the sea.]
Fisherman: Little golden fish, are you still there?
Golden fish: Hello again, kind fisherman.
Fisherman: My wife wants a new house! Can you help me please?
Narrator: Again, the golden fish granted his wish.
Scene Five [The fisherman’s hut.]

look silly.
The emperor decided to show everyone his new clothes. People in the street praised them.
They were afraid to look silly too!
Suddenly, a boy shouted, “Look! The emperor has no clothes on!” Everyone looked at one
another. They started laughing.
The end! Did you like the story? Please tell me what you think!

二、朗读基本知识
1. 弱读（Unstressed Words）
上册书中介绍了英语句子的重音，一般来说，句子中传达重要意义的实词常常重读，
重读时，单词的音会发得更高、更长和更响亮。在句子中起粘合作用的助动词、代词、
连词、冠词、情态动词等常常会弱读，弱读时，音发得短而快。这些词往往都有自己的
弱读音形式（weak form）。例如：
A: Why do you duj@ like pandas?
B: Because they’re De@ very cute.
86 PronunciationA: What are you @ju doing?
B: We’re wI@ jogging.
英语中的助动词和情态动词在句子开头往往弱读，在句子末尾一般重读。例如：
A: Did you have a good time last night?
B: Yes, I ˈdid.
A: Are you feeling better?
B: Yes, I ˈam.
2. 音的同化（Assimilation）
当两个音相邻时，其中一个音常常受另一个邻音的影响而变成与其邻音相同，或相
似，或变成第三个音，这种变音现象叫作音的同化。例如：
Nice to meet you. mi:t ju→mi:tSu
What would you like to drink, tea or coffee? wUd ju→wUdZu
What did you do last night? dId ju→dIdZu
同化现象是英语连贯说话中一种自然的变化，初学者应根据示范朗读体会和模仿学习。
3. 节奏（Rhythm）
英语是一种节奏较强的语言。英语句子中有的词重读，有的词不重读。英语单词中
有重读音节和非重读音节，重读和非重读音节在句中形成一强一弱或一重一轻的变化，
这样就形成了英语的节奏。例如：
● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
● ● ● ● ● ● ●
How I wonder what you are.
● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Up above the world so high,
● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Like a diamond in the sky.
在上面的歌谣中，每行歌谣有四个重读音节，要读得清楚响亮，重读音节之间夹杂
的非重读音节，要读得又轻又快。重弱读音节交替进行，像音乐中的节拍，构成英语句
子的节奏。
Pronunciation 87Grammar
一、名词（Nouns）
1. 可数名词和不可数名词
名词按其所表示的事物的性质可分为可数名词和不可数名词。可数名词有单数和复
数两种形式，如an apple—two apples、a bag—some bags等。不可数名词一般只有一
种形式，没有复数形式，如milk、bread、rice等。还有一些词既可以充当可数名词，也
可以充当不可数名词，如fruit、fish、chicken等。
2. 名词复数
名词的复数形式一般在单数形式后面加-s或-es。名词复数词尾-s或-es的读音规律
一般是：在清辅音后读作/s/，在浊辅音和元音后读作/z/，在/s/、/z/、/S/、/tS/、/dZ/
等后读作/Iz/。
名词复数的构成和读音示例如表1所示。
表1 名词复数形式的构成和读音
类别 构成方法 例词与读音
book—books /bUks/
cap—caps /k{ps/
job—jobs /dZQbz/
一般情况 词尾加-s
bag—bags /b{gz/
key—keys /ki:z/
boy—boys /bOIz/
class—classes /ˈklA:sIz/
以s、x、
box—boxes /ˈbQksIz/
ch、sh等结 词尾加-es
watch—watches /ˈwQtSIz/
尾的词
dish—dishes /ˈdISIz/
family—families /ˈf{m@lIz/
以辅音字母加 变y为i，再
strawberry—strawberries /ˈstrO:b@rIz/
y结尾的词 加-es
party—parties /ˈpA:tIz/
注：少数名词的复数形式是不规则的，如man—men、woman—women、child—
children、sheep—sheep等。
二、形容词（Adjectives）
形容词可修饰名词或代词，在句子中通常用作定语、表语和补语等。
88 Grammar1. 用作定语。例如：
But only clever people can see them!
It feels like a magical place.
Those young people like sport very much.
2. 用作表语，置于系动词之后。例如：
She is busy.
The film is boring.
A good student must be diligent.
They are very hard-working.
3. 用作补语。例如：
We need to keep our school clean and tidy.
She made me angry last night.
三、副词（Adverbs）
1. 副词的用法和意义
副词在句中主要用作状语，修饰动词、形容词、其他副词以及全句，表示时间、地点、
程度、方式等概念。
（1）修饰动词。例如：
It’s raining heavily.
（2）修饰形容词。例如：
The dog is quite cute.
（3）修饰其他副词。例如：
She drives very carefully.
（4）修饰全句。例如：
I usually have some bread and milk for breakfast.
2. 频度副词
频度副词是副词的一种，表示事情发生的频率。常用的频度副词有 always、
usually、often、sometimes、seldom (hardly ever)、never等，它们在频度上的差异为：
always > usually > often > sometimes > seldom (hardly ever) > never
频度副词通常放在实义动词前面。如果句子里有情态动词、助动词或系动词be，频
度副词通常放在这类动词之后。例如：
I always play tennis near my house.
We usually practise three times a week after school.
I often go swimming because it keeps me healthy.
Grammar 89Sometimes I have eggs and beans.
I seldom / hardly ever see my friend Lucy now.
A kind word is never lost.
四、情态动词（Modal Verbs）
情态动词表示说话人的语气和情态，如请求、许可、意愿、可能等。在形式上，情
态动词一般没有人称和数的变化。有的情态动词没有时态的变化，如must。情态动词本
身不能单独作谓语，必须和动词原形连用。常见的情态动词有can、may、must、have
to、should、would等。情态动词一般有多个意义。情态动词的否定式一般是在其后加
not构成，一般疑问句通常将它提到句首。情态动词的肯定式一般不重读。
1. can和could的用法
（1）表示能力。例如：
We can speak a little English.
I can play badminton, but I can’t play volleyball.
He could swim when he was only six.
（2）表示许可。例如：
You can play basketball at the weekend.
We can’t run in the hallways.
Father said I could swim in the pool.
（3）表示请求。例如：
Can you help me with my Chinese?
could也可表示请求，但比can的语气更委婉。例如：
Could you tell him to call me back?
2. may的用法
（1）表示许可，意思是“可以”。例如：
May I borrow your dictionary?
Class is over. You may go now.
may和can都可以表示许可，但两者略有差别。may的用法比can更正式，语气
更委婉。
（2）表示可能性，意思是“也许；可能”。例如：
I may be late, so don’t wait for me.
That may be true.
3. must的用法
must表示“必须”。例如：
90 GrammarDon’t arrive late for class. We must be on time.
You must read a book before you watch TV.
4. have to的用法
have to表示“不得不；必须”。例如：
We have to be quiet in the library.
She has to do her homework first when she gets home.
have to表示“必须”时，与must意义很接近，有时可与must互换。例如：
We have to / must follow the rules.
但它们在以下方面有所不同。
（1）must通常表示的是说话人的主观看法，语气比较强烈，have to往往强调客观
需要。例如：
We must hurry. I don’t want to miss the beginning of the show.
We have to hurry. The train is leaving in five minutes.
（2）它们的否定式含义大不相同。mustn’t表示“不准；禁止”，而don’t have to
表示“不必”。例如：
You mustn’t talk to your mother like that.
You don’t have to come if you don’t want to.
（3）must没有人称和数的变化，而have to有人称和数的变化。例如：
I / We / You / They must do something about it.
I have to finish my work today.
She has to work late today.
They have to get to the station before five o’clock.
五、物主代词（Possessive Pronouns）
物主代词是表示所有关系的代词，分为形容词性物主代词和名词性物主代词两种。
七年级上册已介绍了形容词性物主代词，此处继续介绍名词性物主代词。
名词性物主代词相当于名词，不能用于名词前，说话时要加重语气。例如：
A: Is this your pen?
B: No, it isn’t. The blue pen is mine.
A: There is a ping-pong bat here. Is it yours?
B: No, it isn’t mine. Is it Ella’s?
C: No, hers is at home.

八、句子种类（Sentence Types）
英语句子按照用途可分为陈述句、疑问句、祈使句和感叹句四类。七年级上册已经
介绍了部分句子种类，此处重点介绍祈使句和疑问句中的选择疑问句的用法。
1. 祈使句（Imperative Sentences）
祈使句一般用来表示请求、命令、劝说、号召、警告等。祈使句的主语一般是第二
人称 you，但往往省略。祈使句的肯定式以动词原形开头，否定式在动词原形前加
don’t。例如：
Just go along this street and turn left.
Be careful when you cross the street.
Practise the guitar every day.
Don’t be late for class.
Don’t fight.
Don’t cheat in the exam.
为表示礼貌，祈使句经常在句首或句末加please。句末用please时，前面通常加逗号。
例如：
Please write and tell me about yourself.
Please call Karen at 555-8823.
Come in, please.
Grammar 95以let开头的句子也是祈使句的一种结构，常用于第一人称和第三人称，表示建议、
邀请和劝说等。例如：
Let me tell you the way to my house.
Let’s see the lions.
Let him come in.
Let them play basketball with us.
2. 选择疑问句（Alternative Questions）
选择疑问句提供两种或两种以上情况，问对方选择哪一种，选择项用or连接。选择
疑问句不能用Yes或No来回答。朗读时or前面部分用升调，后面部分用降调。例如：
A: Is she tall or short?
B: She’s tall.
A: Do you usually eat a birthday cake or noodles?
B: I usually eat noodles.
A: What would you like, tea, juice, or coffee?
B: I’d like some tea, please.
