The students of Grade 6 at LVS Ascot Junior School also wanted to do something for the sick children.They organized the event “Pyjamas Day” to support Christopher's Smile.“We wanted to raise money for our charity in a way that the whole school could join in it, so each pupil paid ￡1 to wear his or her pyjamas to school on Pyjamas Day，” said the young organizers.Both the students and their teachers took part in the event with great interest.Together they not only raised some money, but also had a good time.

How do you feel when your parents are not at home with you? Here is what Daniel and Laura said.

Daniel：

Well, I’ve had the experience of having to take care of my younger brother by myself. Sometimes it’s scary, but there are a lot of things making being at home alone fun. My favorite thing to do is to watch television. It is like having another person to talk to. And if my brother and I are arguing, we make a deal (达成协议). We play his game first, then he has to play mine, and both of us get what we want. When I get a little scared, I just remember that there is always someone to call on the phone. I can call my parents and I have my next door neighbors, too.

Laura：

When I started staying at home alone, I found that keeping the television or the radio on helped to make me feel easy. I also always had the phone numbers of my parents and the neighbors. When babysitting my younger brothers, I would play games with them, and leave more lights on than usual. I would also keep the phone number of the hospital nearby.

四、任务型阅读。

If you think you’re too shy and want to be a little braver，try the following. You can make it.

①________ There’s no need to hide(隐藏) it. When they get to know you’re a shy kid，they’ll understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable in talks.

②________ When you smile，people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. Remember that other people have feelings，too. Most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.

③________ If you find it hard to start talks，say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person？

④________ Think more about ways to enjoy the party or the game. Don’t waste time worrying about your look or whether people like you or not.

Take one small step at a time. Each time after you say “Hi!” or smile at someone for the first time，say to yourself “You make it!”.

Keep trying and one day you’ll never be “shy” when you talk to others.

Dear grandparents,

How is it going? I hope you are both healthy. I haven’t seen you for two years, so I miss you very much.

I remember I used to talk with you after school. But now I have nobody to talk with because my parents are very busy every day. And my eating habits have changed, too. I used to have bread and milk for breakfast in England, but now I am used to eating noodles and eggs. They make me stronger than before. For sports, I didn’t use to play ball games, but now I am interested in playing basketball.

That’s all I want to tell you. Wish you happy and healthy.

Yours,

Mike
