It’s never comfortable to take a bus during rush hour on a hot summer day. All my friends hate it. And I..., well, I 20 it too.

The story happened two months ago. I was on a bus that was packed with almost everyone in the city. I 21 my friend Neal to see a show. And then he called and said he couldn’t come.This is not what I planned for Friday!” I thought. The air on the bus was terrible; the man in front of me smelled like dead fish. While I was feeling sorry for myself, a girl called my name. I didn’t recognize her at first. Then I was surprised to find that she was Hui-ting, my old neighbor. I 22 Hui-ting in years. We used to play together every day when we were kids. We were happy to see each other, so we decided to have dinner together. And that was the start of many dinners after.

With Hui-ting, the bus ride 23 something I love. The bus is still packed with people, but I enjoy the ride every day.

Katie wrote a letter to her English teacher and got a reply from him. Read their letters and answer the questions.

Dear Mr. Hu,

My family moved here from England three months ago. I can't speak Chinese well, and it's difficult for people to understand me. I'm losing confidence.

Could you please tell me what I should do?

Katie


Dear Katie,

I'm glad that you let me know about your problem. Here are some things you can do:

  1. Your class is going to have a Story Time this month. All of you should tell stories. You should tell one, too. I'm sure you can learn a lot from doing so.
  2. Try to practice speaking with your teachers and classmates. Don't be afraid.
  3. Talk to Nanako and Yu-kim. Nanako is from Japan, and Yu-kirn is from Korea. They might be able to give you some advice.
  4. Some foreign students told me that watching Happy Times on TV can help. The language is easy.

Please try these ideas and see if you can do better. Don't worry too much. I have confidence in you.

Mr. Hu

The talking’s in the making, son,”

I see what he means.

It’s in the knife
meeting the beef,

in the dancing of potatoes
as they turn in the water,
in the singing
of boiling soup in the pot.

There are enough words

Daddy teaches me his famous dish
and the way he hugs me
when we finish.

Joey: Lynn, have you tried Caldron? I’ve heard that restaurant is good.

Lynn: I have. I went there once for Tom’s party.

Joey: And?

Lynn: Well, I never thought I would have to cook for myself when eating out.

Joey: But it’s fun to cook your own food.

Lynn: I don’t see any fun in that. Besides, I want nice food.

Joey: So you didn’t like the food there?

Lynn: Everything tasted the same. I mean, they were all cooked in the same boiling pot. How could they taste different? I just kept throwing strange things into the pot. I didn’t even know what half the things were made of.

Joey: Don’t worry. Everything should be safe to eat after a hot bath in the pot. And you didn’t get sick after that, right? Besides, you tried something different there. Still a good experience, I think?

Lynn: I don’t think we share the same idea of good experiences.
