Dear Feifei,

We moved here to Shenzhen yesterday. My parents have new jobs here. It was cold in Shenyang. It's much warmer in Shenzhen! I don't need to wear a coat or a sweater.

I feel lonely. It makes me so happy when I look at your photo. I miss you so much!

Love,
Rongrong

Dear Feifei,

School has started and it's going OK. I joined the school band and the volleyball team last week, so I'm quite busy.

Hi Feifei,

Guess what! On Saturday, Ningning, Yuanyuan and I are going to play in a concert and raise money for homeless animals. I feel so happy that I can help them.

I can't wait for the holiday so I can meet you!

Love,
Rongrong

A: I moved to a house near a park. When I'm sleepy, I run to the park.

B: That's a good idea. When you run, you won't feel sleepy.

A: I run to the park because my favourite tree is there. I like to take a nap under it. It's quiet.

Mike moved to Shenzhen yesterday. I joined the school band last week.

I want to move to Harbin. When I move there, I can enjoy winter sports. I can ...

Do you want to move to a new place? Write about it.

I want to move to Harbin because I love winter sports. When I move there, I can ski and skate.

Every day, people move to new places. Why do people move? Let's look at three important reasons.

Jobs — Cities often have more businesses, so there are more jobs for people. In 2001, around 38 percent of people in China lived in cities. In 2022, that number was around 65 percent.

"Last year, my parents found new jobs in Chengdu, so we moved here. I'm in a new school, and I like my new friends."

Services — Some people may move to be closer to better services, such as hospitals and schools. Some people may move for more space.

"When I was three, my parents sold our flat in London and bought a house outside the city. There's lots of space to play football here."

Life changes — Sometimes, people may move to make a change in their lives. They may want to learn about another country.

"My family moved to China when I was five. My parents came here to study Chinese. We love this country."

As you can see, people move for many reasons, but usually for a better life. Maybe one day you will move too!

Why do people move to new places?

a. People want to learn about another country.

b. People move to cities for new jobs.

c. People move to be near hospitals and schools.

People move for jobs. / People move for better services. / People move to learn or try new things.

I like this oil painting. The red apple looks so real. I want to eat it.

I like the ink painting best. This kind of painting has a long history in China. The artists often paint mountains, flowers and birds.

A new art form — Recycled art is very popular. Artists make recycled art from old things. They use old paper, bottles and something new.

An earth-friendly art form — Recycled art is friendly to the Earth. Artists reuse old things. It teaches people to protect our Earth.

5. Recycled paper cups as flowerpots

Almost everyone enjoys looking at works of art. Art can be very powerful. Artists try to express themselves and touch people's hearts.

Painting with style — Painters have their own styles. Some paintings look real and some don't. But all paintings show the painters' feelings.

Xu Beihong — Xu Beihong was a Chinese artist. He was good at ink painting. He liked to paint proud animals, such as lions and horses. He wanted people to cheer up and be brave. Xu Beihong painted running horses.

Vincent van Gogh — Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch artist. He did oil painting. He is famous for using bright colours. Look at the sunflowers in this painting. How does it make you feel? Vincent van Gogh painted flowers in bright colours.

Artists show us the world in their eyes. We can always feel the power of a good work of art.

Art is an important part of our lives. Some great works of art are powerful. They express the artists' feelings. Anyone can be an artist. We can make art from anything in our lives.

Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch artist. He did oil painting. He painted flowers in bright colours.

am → was   is → was   are → were   do → did

He was a Chinese artist. He painted horses. Who is he?

— Is he Xu Beihong?

— Yes, you're right.

Why do the children like these kinds of art?

Lin Xuan likes ink painting because she thinks it is beautiful.

(Lin Xuan — China / Andrew — UK / Vivian — Russia / Justin — USA)

Why do people dance? Why do people take photos? Why do people make art?

It is Saturday morning. Everyone in my family is preparing for Grandpa's birthday.

Grandpa and Dad are shopping in the supermarket. My sister and I are in the living room. We want to make something special for Grandpa. My sister is painting colourful fish on stones. I am drawing a picture of our dog, Ginger, but she does not sit still. She smells something in the kitchen and runs off.

Grandma is in the kitchen. She is making some traditional Chinese cakes. Some look like butterflies and some look like flowers. Ginger wants to eat one. "No, Ginger!" says Grandma.

Ginger runs back to the living room. Mum is here. She is cutting the flowers and putting them in a vase. How amazing they look!

Where is Ginger now? She is running through the living room! Oops! She knocks over the paint. Look! She is making blue footprints on my paper.

Grandpa comes back and he is really surprised. "Wow, thanks for all of these. Everyone is an artist!" he says.

Art can make our lives more colourful.

Art can help us express ourselves.

1. We should warm up before doing exercise.

2. When someone gets hurt, we should try to help.

Here are some swimming tips for you. First, put on your swimsuit and swimming cap. Next, do warm-up exercises. Then, put on your swimming goggles, so the water does not get into your eyes. Finally, you can get into the water and swim.

Yesterday afternoon, Wang Hao, a 12-year-old boy from our school, broke his arm at the skatepark. He was in a game with his friends and went over a small stone on the road.

Wang Hao got hurt and broke his arm. Luckily, he didn't have more injuries, because he wore a helmet and pads.

Xu Li, a friend of Wang Hao, called an ambulance.

The ambulance arrived soon. First, the emergency workers checked Wang Hao's injuries. Then, they took him to the hospital for an X-ray. He is now resting at home.

There was a fire in a building. The news reporter Zhou Yan came to interview Li Jie. What did Li Jie and other people do to help?

First, Li Jie called 119 with his mobile phone. He told them the address of the building.

Next, he called for help.

Then, they made loud noises to warn people inside. Li Jie told them not to use the lift.

The firefighters came very soon.

Finally, the firefighters put out the fire.

Why does the reporter think Li Jie was brave?

A little girl is lost in the city. — Ask someone for help. / Call 110.

There is a fire in the park. — Call 119.

When you see a fire in the park, what should you do?

First, call 119. Next, ask people to leave. Then, wait for the firefighters.

First aid for a nosebleed — Sit down and lean forward. Press your nose for 5 to 10 minutes.

First aid for an animal bite — Clean the bite. If it is bleeding, press it. When it stops bleeding, put some medicine on it. Cover the bite with a clean cloth.

You should go to see the doctor after getting first aid.

a. Put a cool cloth on the ankle.

b. Clean the bite.

c. Sit down and lean forward.

d. Lift up the ankle.

e. Press the nose.

f. If it is bleeding, press it.

We should wear safety equipment when we do sport.

We should learn some first aid skills.

1. A man pushes the car. It is heavy.

2. We pull hard. It is really difficult to win.

3. The man has a lot of bananas on his bike. It is heavy. It is difficult to move.

4. It is light. It is easy to move.

Chicks cannot fly when they are very small, so their parents get food for them. Chicks move their wings in the nest. Their wings get strong. When the chicks get big, they leave the nest. They move their wings up and down and fly in the air.

We see things moving every day. We see people walking, birds flying and leaves falling. What makes things move?

Forces — A force can make something move. A push is a force. When we push, it moves people or things away from us. A pull is a force too. When we pull, it moves people or things towards us.

Movement — A small force causes a small movement and a big force causes a big movement. When we use a small force to throw a ball, it does not go far. When we use a big force, it goes a long way. Also, it is easier to move a light thing than a heavy thing.

Speed — Speed is how fast things move. Some things, like trains, move fast, and some things, like tortoises, move slowly. A car is faster than a horse, a high-speed train is faster than a car, and a plane is the fastest of all.

A force can change the speed of things. When you push a door with a small force, it opens slowly. When you push it with a bigger force, it opens more quickly.

Next time you see something moving, ask yourself, "What force is moving it, a push or a pull? Is the force small or big?"

1. When you push or pull a door, it opens. The push or pull is a force.

2. The Earth is always in movement. It moves around the Sun.

What is slower than a plane? A train is slower than a plane.

Who is the youngest in your family? I am the youngest in my family.

slow → slower   young → youngest

• We use this when we are on an escalator.

• We push or pull this to go into or out of a door.

• We need this when we use a lever.

• It is the name of an invention.

Play a guessing game: I need it to use a computer. It's also the name of ... What is it?

do sport / play music / play games

When we do sport, we use forces. When we use a bigger force, we can jump higher.

When do you use forces?

a bigger force → go faster / run faster / ...
a smaller force → go more slowly / run more slowly / ...

I often play basketball. When I use a bigger force, I can run faster.

A long time ago, two brothers, Black Goat and Brown Goat, lived on East Mountain together.

One day, they saw a small piece of the greenest grass. Brown Goat said, "I'm older. I should eat the grass."

Black Goat said, "I'm smarter. I should eat it."

They pushed each other for a long time and got tired. Black Goat was angry and moved to West Mountain.

Every day, Brown Goat crossed a small bridge to drink the coldest water on West Mountain. Every day, Black Goat crossed the bridge to eat the greenest grass on East Mountain.

One day, both goats were on the bridge at the same time. Brown Goat said, "Go back! I'm crossing first." Black Goat said, "You go back!"

They pushed each other with the same force. They pushed until they both fell into the river below the bridge.

The goats got out of the river and walked home. They were angry, tired and hungry. And that was the story of the two stubborn little goats.

A force can make something move.

A force can change the speed of things.

1. It turns under a car when the car moves. → a wheel

2. A child can move smoothly down it. → a slide

3. Two children sit on each side of it. They go up and down. → a seesaw

People invented a lot of things to make travel easy. Bicycles, cars and trains help people travel fast on land. Boats and ships help people travel on water. Hot-air balloons and planes help people travel in the sky.

分类:On land(陆地上)/ On water(水面上)/ In the sky(天空中)

What are simple machines? They are the most basic inventions. They make our lives easier, and we use them every day.

The lever — Many everyday inventions are levers. A bottle opener is a lever. A seesaw is also a lever. When you ride on a seesaw in the playground, you are using a lever. In the picture, a boy sits down on one side, and his friend on the other side goes up.

The wheel — We use wheels every day on cars, trucks and bicycles. Inside an old clock or watch, you can also see tiny wheels.

The ramp — A ramp has one high end and one low end. A slide is a ramp. On it, you can go from a high place to a low place quickly. Things can move up and down more easily on a ramp. People in wheelchairs use ramps to go into and out of buildings. Hills and mountains are ramps in nature.

1. People in wheelchairs can use the ramp to get into a building.

2. It is easy to open the bottle with an opener.

A: I thought I came early for the show.

B: I came earlier than you, Meg.

Peter runs slowly.

Eddie runs more slowly than Peter.

Mark runs the most slowly of the three.

How do the inventions make our lives easier?

a bicycle / a car / a high-speed train

We can travel fast with a car. Yes. And we can travel faster with a high-speed train.

How will Lele and his dad use simple inventions to build a tree house?

□ cart(手推车)   □ ladder(梯子)

The cart has four wheels. It is so easy to push a cart.

With a ladder, it is safe and easy to get up to the tree house.

They'll use the cart to carry the boards.

What do you think is the most important invention?

I think it's the plane because it makes travel faster.

make life easier(让生活更轻松)/ make travel faster(让出行更快)

Stick a photo of an invention you like. How did the invention change people's lives?

It was hard / slow / ... to ...   It took a long time ...

It is easier / faster / ... to ...

Before the invention of the plane, it was slow to travel far. After the invention of the plane, it is faster to travel far.

Lu Ban was a famous inventor in ancient China. He invented a lot of useful tools.

He looked at the leaf carefully. There were many teeth on the leaf, and the teeth were sharp. "Could I make a tool with teeth like these? It could cut things easily," Lu Ban said to himself.

One day, when Lu Ban was at work on a mountain, a leaf cut his finger. Lu Ban thought, "How could such a small leaf hurt my finger?"

Soon Lu Ban made a saw. It was the first saw in the world. People are still using it today.

Lu Ban was not the only ancient Chinese inventor. Other ancient Chinese people invented many great things, such as cuju and paper. Many have a great influence around the world.
