UNIT 10I've had this bike for three years.

Section A 1b

Listen and check (√) the facts you hear.

You have some great things at this yard sale, Jeff.

Thanks, Amy. Our family has collected so many things over the years, but we don't use them anymore.

But isn't it hard to sell some of your things? There are many things I've had since I was a child. I don't think I could sell them.

Yes, it's hard to say goodbye to certain things.

By the way, how long have you had that bike over there? I've had it for three years! I learned how to ride a bike on it.

Old things really bring back sweet memories. But it's true that we may never use some of these things again.

Yes, like old toys or books you've already read. You can sell those, or you can also give them away to kids or people who need them.

Oh! How much is this book? You can have it for 75 cents.

Section A 2a

Listen and check (√) the things Amy's family are giving away and circle the things they are keeping.

Let's look through this box of old things and decide what to give away.

I think I want to keep this book. I've had it for three years. Even though I've already read it twice, it's still my favorite book. But we can give away the magazine.

What about these soft toys?

I want to keep the bear because I've had it since I was a baby. It has special meaning to me because Grandma gave it to me. I'll give away the lion and tiger.

OK. And this old bread maker of mine can go, too. I've had it for more than 10 years. Aunt Taylor bought a new one for me last week.

That's great. We can still have homemade bread. And I can give away this sweater and dress, too. They don't fit me anymore. But I want to keep the hat and scarf for ice skating.

Great. You can take these things to the children's home tomorrow then.

Section A 2d

Role-play the conversation.

Welcome to the Sunshine Home for Children. I'm Linda.

Hi, I'm Amy. I have some things for the kids. I've had this magazine for a couple of months. The stories inside may be a bit old, but they're still interesting.

Great! Many children here love reading.

And check out these soft toys and board games for younger kids. I've had them since I was a child. There's also a sweater and a dress.

Perfect! We always need toys and clothes.

One last thing is a bread maker. My mom's had it for a long time but it still works. Thanks so much!

Section A 3a

Read the article written by a father for a newspaper. What is his family going to sell at the yard sale?

My children are growing up fast. My daughter is 16 and my boy is already in junior high

school. As they get bigger our house seems to get smaller. So we want to sell some of our things in a yard sale and give the money to a children's home.

We have already cleared out a lot of things from our bedrooms. We have decided to each sell five things that we no longer use. My son was quite sad at first. Although he has not played with his old toys for a long time, he still wanted to keep them.

For example, he has owned a train and railway set since his fourth birthday, and he played with it almost every week until he was about seven. And he did not want to lose his toy monkey, either. He slept next to the monkey every night when he was a child. My daughter was more understanding, although she also felt sad to part with certain toys. As for me, I did not want to give up my football shirts, but, to be honest, I have not played for a while now I am getting older, too!

Section B 1b

Listen and answer the questions.

Hey, Jenny, your hometown is really beautiful.

Yes, I've been away for the past few years, but I still love this town. Even though it's old, it's full of interesting places to see and things to do.

Wow, look at that building! I've never seen anything like it!

Yes, that's one of the oldest buildings in this town. It's been around for hundreds of years. It's now the town library.

What about the building next to it?

Oh, that's the new science museum. It's only been here since last August. There's a really big park behind the museum. Many families go there on weekends to let the kids run around and climb the hills.

Nice. Can we check it out?

Sure. But first, let's have lunch at this restaurant down the street. It's been around for as long as I can remember. It serves the best food in town.

Section B 1c

Listen again and fill in the chart about the places in Jenny's hometown.

Answer the questions before you read. Then read the passage to find out if your answers are the same as in the passage.

Hometown Feelings

Some people still live in their hometown. However, others may only see it once or twice a year. Nowadays, millions of Chinese leave the countryside to search for work in the cities.

Among these is Zhong Wei, a 46-year-old husband and father. He has lived in Wenzhou for the last 13 years. With a hard job in a crayon factory, he doesn't find much time to visit his hometown." I used to return home at least once a year, but I haven't been back for almost three years now. It's a shame, but I just don't have the time, " he says.

Many people like Zhong Wei regard with great interest how their hometowns have changed. Perhaps large hospitals and new roads have appeared. In many places, the government has also built new schools and sent teachers from the cities to help.

"I noticed that's true of my hometown, " adds Zhong Wei. "Children have learned to read and count at my old primary school since the mid-20th century. But now the buildings are really old. I hear they're going to build a new school there. "

Zhong Wei thinks such developments are good, and he also knows that his hometown cannot always stay the same. According to Zhong Wei, however, some things will never change. "In my hometown, there was a big old tree opposite the school. It is still there and has become quite a symbol of the place. Most of the children in my time liked to play together under that big tree, especially during the summer holidays .It was such a happy childhood. Our hometown has left many soft and sweet memories in our hearts. "
