Field Trip Day

On Friday, May 6, our class will take a field trip to North Park Zoo.  The zoo has lions, elephants, and other interesting animals.  Many of the animals we have been studying will be there for us to closely examine.                         

                            Our class will be divided into six teams.  Each team will have five students and one leader.  The leaders are listed in the table.                              

What You Need to Know

On the day of the trip, the students will be divided into teams.  One student from each team will receive a camera.  The camera person will take pictures of the team, the animals, and other fun sights at the zoo.

All students should wear blue shirts.  Be sure to wear comfortable shoes because we will be walking all day.  Please bring a bag lunch and a drink.  We will have a picnic at the park inside the zoo.  Bring a healthy snack, such as a piece of fruit and a drink, for later in the day.

Feeding the Animals

   The ONLY animals that students are allowed to feed are those in the Children's Zoo.  Special food can be bought at the zoo for 25 cents and given to these animals.  Do not feed your lunch to them.  The food may make the animals sick.

Giving a gift can mean a lot. It can be a way to deepen (加深) a friendship. Before you get a gift for someone, spend time really thinking about what makes him or her special. Think about their interests, hobbies, needs and happiest moments. For example, friends and families with children might love a special calendar that contains everyone’s birthday and other special dates and events.

For music fans, a CD filled (填充) with their favourite music always makes a special gift.

Spending time with loved ones is also a way to give them a gift. You might take that special person out for a birthday dinner at your favourite restaurant.

Making a gift for someone using your own skills is very special. It is much more meaningful than a store-bought gift and shows how much you care!

Writing your feelings in a greeting card can be a simple way to make a keepsake (纪念品) that will be remembered for years.

Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different.

     People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound. They chose the “new name” for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they were born.

     Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.

     In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband’s after she gets married（结婚）. But today, many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband’s. Sometimes, women use their own name in some situations(情况) and their husband’s in other situations. And some use both their own name and their husband’s.

Dear Karen,

As you probably know, it’s my sister Suzie’s 16th birthday in a week. We’re planning a surprise party for her. Julie’s going to pick her up from school as usual on Friday but she’s not taking her home. She’s bringing her to the Palace Hotel, the big modern one near the station. We’re having a meal there and we’ve also hired (租用) the ballroom (舞厅) for a party in the evening. I hope you can come!

All her friends from school are coming and quite a few of the people from our village, too. Of course, Mum and Dad are coming up from England and I’ve managed to persuade (说服) our other sister, Marie, to come over from Australia. She’s bringing her kids with her, too.

After the party we’re going to have another one on Saturday! Well, not really a party. We’re inviting the family and close friends (that includes you) for a meal at the house. If the weather is nice, we’d like to have a barbecue in the garden. Julie’s going to make a special cake for Suzie.

Anyway, we hope to make it a really special weekend for Suzie. On Sunday we’re all going for a walk in the country. You know how she loves walking and we’re all going to need a bit of exercise after all that lovely food. We’re hoping to go up to the lake. Marie said she wanted her kids to feed the ducks just like Suzie and she did when they were very young. I’m sure Suzie will love that too.

It would be great if you could come over for the weekend. We would all love to see you.

Let me know as soon as you can.

Best,

David
