【拓展性作业】
My classmates went to the Fun World Museum the day before yesterday. I didn’t go there with
them because I was ill. Just now, Millie visited me and told me a lot about their trip.
There were a lot of people when they got to the museum. They spent three hours in the museum.
Some of them bought cards of animals there. Millie took a lot of photos and she showed them to me
one by one.
First, they saw a small monkey. It is only 11 centimetres tall. I think it very amazing. I hope to
see it with my own eyes. They also learnt about some strange birds like dodos. They lived on the
earth a long time ago. I am so interested in them that I decide to know more about them when I visit
the museum.

A: Hi, Suzy. It’s said that you are not afraid of animals any more. Can you tell me why?
B: Oh, thanks to Mr. Wu, he helped me know a lot about animals, such as giraffes, snakes,
camels and ants. Let me introduce them to you.
A: Good, I can’t wait.
B: First, the giraffe has a very long neck, but there are only seven bones in it.
A: Oh, really? I can’t believe it. I thought they have a lot more bones than us people.
B: Yes, that’s really amazing. It’s also amazing that a snake lives on the ground, in trees or in
water, and it eats little or nothing for months in cold winter.
A: Wow, how difficult it is to survive the cold winter.
B: Yes, and it’s not easy to live in dry places either. But camels can live without water for a long
time.
A: How interesting! I can’t imagine how they can make it.
B: And here’s one more interesting thing I have to tell you. We need to keep our house clean
because ants can smell things well.
A: Thank you for your telling me so much. Animals are so amazing. I want to learn more about
them.

Amazing people
Today I read about some amazing things in the world. Some people are really interesting.
A young man travelled around over 80 countries by bicycle. It's hard to imagine what
difficulties he had during the journey, but he must have many exciting experiences all the way. I
also know about an artist. He can draw 3-D pictures with chalk. When I see his pictures I feel like I
come into a real world and I can't believe my own eyes. Last, I'd like to talk about a man with a
special ability. He can write with one hand and draw with the other at the same time.
How I wish I had the same super skill so that I can finish my homework much more quickly.

Task 1. Share an interesting experience or an amazing event.
I want to share an experience when I was young. My grandpa taught me how to play checkers. On
a sunny day, my grandpa brought out the checkers board and showed me the rules. He explained
how the pieces moved and how to master the other player's pieces. We started our first game, and I
made a lot of mistakes! He just smiled and told me to keep trying. He showed me many interesting
tricks. We laughed a lot during our games. We had the best time talking and playing together. It
wasn't just about winning. Grandpa taught me about patience, family, and having fun together. I'll
never forget the joy and the lessons I learned.

Task 1. I can introduce. Choose one to finish:
(1) I like phones the best in all the inventions. Because phones can do many things, and it is better
than before.
In 1876, Alexander Bell invented the telephone with many wires; The telephone turned into
Wally-talky. That means when we are calling someone, we can walk and talk.
And now, The phones are smaller and smarter, We can play games and play music, we can take
them to anywhere, and ask them questions. Sometimes we can even use them to set an alarm.
That' s why I like the phones.(学生作品仅供参考）
(2) I want to introduce my new invention to you. My new invention is a pair of shoes with lights.
It looks like a rabbit. The lights are in "the rabbit's" eyes. Everyone can use it. When you are in a
dark place and you wear it, its lights will shine. In order that, you can walk in the dark and won't be
too scared. But when it is too wet, maybe it can't work. So you'd better not wear it when it is rainy
outside. Why did I want to invent it? The reason is that one day I walked outside at nine p.m. ,but
there is no light. I am very afraid. Do you like my invention?
