Hey, Robin.
Where is the science museum?
It ’s near the library.
I see. How can I get there?
Turn right at the school. Then go straight.
Ok. Let’s go.
Excuse me. Can you help me?
Sure.
How can I get to the science museum?
It ’s over there.
Thanks.
Oh, where is Robin?
Robin, where is the museum shop? I want to buy a postcard.
It ’s near the door.
Thanks. Where is the post office? I want to send it today.
I don’t know. I’ll ask. Excuse me, sir.
Wow! A talking robot!What a great museum!
Where is the post office?
It ’s next to the museum.
Thanks.
What an interesting film!
Yes, but I’m hungry now. I know a great Italian restaurant.
Yum! I like pizza! Where is the restaurant?
It ’s next to the park on Dongfang Street.
How can we get there?
Turn left at the bookstore. Then turn right at the hospital.
Ok, let’s go!
Where is the Italian restaurant? Turn right here?
No, turn left.
We’re in front of the cinema. Let’s go straight and turn left at the bookstore. Follow me, please.
Is it far?
No. Now we are behind the hospital. Let’s turn right and then turn right again.
There is the restaurant!
My new GPS works!
Yes! I’ll tell grandpa but let’s eat first. I’m so hungry!
Hey, that looks tasty. Where can I buy one?
Near the London Eye. Go that way.
Excuse me. Where is the London Eye?
It ’s next to the film museum near the Thames.
Excuse me. Is the Thames far from here?
No. Go straight and turn left.
Zip, look!
Finally!
Hi! Three large portions and one small one, please.
Ok.
Oh, my stomach hurts! I miss my tanghulu!
You still want to eat?!
Wait! Don’t go at the red light!
Sorry.
You must pay attention to the traffic lights.
Good morning, John. How do you go to school?
I often go by subway.
Hi, Mike. Is this your bike?
Yes.
Nice!
Thanks. How do you come to school?
I usually come on foot.
Good morning, Mrs Smith!
Hi, children. You’re early.
How do you come to school?
Usually, I come on foot. Sometimes I come by bus.
I often come by bike.
How do you come to school,Mrs Smith? By car?
Sometimes, but I usually walk.
That ’s good exercise.
Let ’s go to the nature park.
Hooray!
How do we get there?
By bus.
Mr Jones, how can I get to the Fuxing hospital?
Take the No.57 bus over there.
Thanks. Wow! So many pictures of bikes!
They ’re from my cousin in the USA.
What ’s this?
A helmet. In the USA people on bikes must wear one.
I see. Oh, the bus is coming! Bye, Mr Jones.
Hey, don’t go at the red light!
Oh, right! Thanks. I must pay attention to the traffic lights!
Look! The park is over there! Let go!
Please wait! It’s red light now. We must stop and wait.
Different ways to go to school
Some children go to school on foot in Munich, Germany.
In Alaska, USA, it snows a lot. Some kids go to school by sled. It’s fast. In Papa Westray, Scotland, the children go school by ferry, too. But in 2009, they went to school by plane because the ferry didn’t work.
Grandpa, let me read this for you.
Thanks, Robin.
I didn’t go to school. I learn at home.
It ’s so good to see you, Annie!
You too, Amy. I missed you.
Wow, Chinese food is so different from British food.
Yes. Can you use chopsticks?
No, I can’t.
Let ’s take a bus home. We must cross the road. In the UK you drive on the left side. In China, people drive on the right side.
I see. We must look right before crossing the road.
No, first left and then right!
Look, the bus is over there!
Wow, it’s a double-decker! The same as in London.
Where is the door? Amy, there is no door on the bus!
Haha, you’re looking at the wrong side again!

Zac lives in a forest. He likes singing and dancing very much.
Every day the squirrels have to give the Monkey King gifts. Then the
Monkey King lets them get food from his forest.
Zac sometimes sings and dances in front of the king. The Monkey King likes reading books, so he doesn’t like Zac’s music.
One day, Zac sang for the king. The king was very angry and shouted, “Go away! ” Then he threw Zac out of the tree.
Zac got up and looked at his tail. It was really bushy! Zac liked his new tail, and so did all the other squirrels. So from that day on all squirrels’ tails were bushy.
What a great story! Is it true?

One day, a rich old businessman in a small town meets a factory worker, a coach and a fisherman. He gives them three seeds and says, “Bring me the flowers in three months. The man with the most beautiful flower can have my money!”
After three months, the factory worker brings a big red flower. The coach
brings a small purple flower. But the poor fisherman brings nothing. He is very sad.
“I don’t know why!”he says. “I wanted it every day.”
“You are honest! ”the businessman says. “The seeds are bad and will never sprout! The money is yours.”
The fisherman is very happy. The other two men feel ashamed and sad.
