Unit 3 Same or Different?
Section A, 1b and 1d
Peter: Chen Jie, did you hear about the school music festival?
Chen Jie: Yeah, it sounds fun.
Peter: Why don’t you perform? You play the Chinese flute better than
anyone else in our music club.
Chen Jie: Well, I’m afraid of performing alone. I’m not as outgoing as
you.
Peter: Did you work harder than me. And last week you played a really
beautiful song!
Chen Jie: You liked it? Maybe we could play it together!
Peter: Great idea!
Section A, 1c and 1d
Mrs Brown: I loved your performance! You two did a wonderful job!
Peter and Chen Jie: Thank you!
Peter: Look, it’s time for Ella and Emma’s show!
Mrs Brown: Is that Ella singing?
Peter: No, that’s Emma. Emma is taller than Ella. And she sings louder
than Ella.
Chen Jie: Look! That is Ella dancing. Her hair is longer than Emma’s.

Section A, 2a and 2c
Han Lin: Congratulations on winning the prize at the school music
festival!
The twins: Thank you!
Han Lin: You attended the festival last year and this year. How is this year
different?
Ella: There are more students and more activities this year. I think it is
more colourful than last year.
Han Lin: As twins, you look very similar. How are you different?
Emma: I’m a little quieter than Ella. And she is funnier than me.
Ella: Emma always gets up earlier than me. Many people say I’m lazier
than Emma, but that’s not true! I work as hard as her!
Han Lin: That’s really interesting. Besides singing, how do you both
spend your spare time?
Ella: I love playing sports more than anything.
Emma: I like reading. You see, we’re different in many ways, but
together, we make a great team!
Han Lin: Thanks for talking with me.
The twins: Our pleasure!

Forum
Tom: Some people think that friends should be alike, but some other
people think that friends should be different. What do you think? Should
friends be similar or different?
Matt : I think a good friend is like a mirror. You can understand people by
knowing their friends. My friend, Stephen, is a great example. We often
hang out together because we have similar hobbies and interests. For
example, we both love sports. He plays badminton better than I do, so he
always wins our matches. Because of that, I try harder when I practise,
and now I'm getting better at badminton.
Stephen and I are similar in other ways. He is as serious as me. When
we aren't playing sports, we enjoy reading together. I read more history
books than he does, and he reads a lot of novels. We often share
interesting books with each other.
Diana：I don't agree. For me, friends who are different make me better. I
think we should respect each other's differences and learn from each
other. For example, I am kind of shy, but my best friend, Yuan Lei, is
outgoing. She has a great sense of humour too. Thanks to her, I am
becoming more outgoing. Now I think meeting new people is really fun!
I have another friend, Zhang Yong. He is not afraid to give his
opinion, especially when he thinks I am making a mistake. I am less

Four Brothers
(Adapted from Grimm's Fairy - Tale)
Once upon a time, there were four brothers.
"I can see farther than anyone," the first brother said. "At the top of that
tree, there are five eggs in a nest."
"I'm faster than all of you—I move as quickly as a cat," said the second
brother. He climbed up, took the eggs quietly, and then put them back.
The bird never noticed it.
"I can shoot better than all of you," said the third. He then shot a leaf
above the nest.
The fourth brother said, "I can sew anything together, even something as
soft as that leaf." In no time, the leaf was as good as new.
Not long after, the king's daughter was taken away by a dragon. The king
said whoever brought the princess back could marry her.
The first brother said, "I see her! She is far away, on a rock at sea, with
the dragon." So the brothers sailed to the rock.
The third brother said, "I may hurt the princess if I shoot the dragon."
"Leave it to me," said the second brother. He moved as quietly as a mouse
and quickly freed the princess.
Suddenly, the dragon began to chase them. The third brother shot it, but

sewed the ship together. Then they sailed home safely.
The happy king asked, "Which of you will marry my daughter?" The
brothers began to argue. Each brother believed that he did more than the
others. Finally, the king said, "Each of you is as good as the others, but
you are much stronger together. Instead, I give half of my kingdom to you
as a reward." The brothers were pleased. It was much better to share than
to fight.
