There are many children without parents .I met some of these children with my mother .we taught them to tell stories .This helps them express their feelings. One child said ,”My friends don’t understand my pain.
We spend time with a girl called Vivien. Her parents died in a car accident, and she is unhappy and very lonely. She needs friendship. My mother and I will continue to visit Vivien. Mark
I want to help disabled children. They have difficulty walking or moving. I taught them to sing because music can bring them joy and peace.

Voluntary work
Unit2 Body language
Debbie and Simon are students. They both have part-time jobs at a travel company.
A Well-dressed lady entered the office. She looked at Debbie and Simon, and then walked over to Debbie. Debbie gave her a cheerful greeting.
“What’s the matter?” Mr Yang asked.
“ People always choose Debbie instead of me. I don’t understand.”
“I do. It’s the way you communicate.”
“ How can that be?” Simon asked. “I don’t get a chance to speak.”
“Communicating is more than just speaking. Your body language is important too.”
“Body language?”
“It’s the way you stand and sit. It’s your gesture s and the ex pression on your face. Your whole appearance communicates things. You don’t give people a good impression, Simon. You look down, you never smile and you don’t turn your head towards them.
“Look at Debbie. She’s holding her head up. She he always smiles and looks friendly. Her body language is making people feel welcome, so they go to her for help.”
Simon decided to improve his body language. He sat up straight and tried smiling at people. Minutes later, a beautiful girl entered. She walked over to Simon. A few moments later, she left with a smile.
Mr Yang came over at once and said, “You made a good impression on her, Simon.” “That was my sister, “ said Simon. “She wanted to remind me that that tomorrow is her birthday.”

向她打招呼。
“出什么事了？杨先生问。
“人们总是选择戴比而不是我。我不明白。” “是的。这就是你交流的方式。”
“怎么可能呢？西蒙问。“我没有发言的机会。” “交流不仅仅是说话。你的肢体语言也是很重要的。” “肢体语言？“
“这是你站立和坐下的方式。这是你的手势和你脸上的压力。你的整个外表传达了一些东西。西蒙，你没有给人留下好印象。你往下看，你从来不微笑，也不向他们转头。
“看戴比。她抬起头来。她总是微笑，看起来很友好。她的肢体语言让人们感到受欢迎，所以他们去找她帮忙。
西蒙决定改善他的肢体语言。他坐直了，试着对人们微笑。几分钟后，一个漂亮的女孩进来了。她走到西蒙跟前。过了一会儿，她笑着走了。
杨先生马上过来说：“西蒙，你给她留下了好印象。”“那是我妹妹，”西蒙说。“她想提醒我明天是她的生日。”

Unit3 Traditional skills
Wang Damin is a fisherman. Although he is over 65, he is very fit and still enjoys working.
Damin uses cormorants to catch fish. Cormorants are large black birds. They are good at catching fish because they can swim well. They can dive down and stay under the water for up to two minutes. Damin usually sets off in the late afternoon and gets the cormorants ready for work. First, he ties a piece of grass around their necks to stop them from eating big fish. Then when Damin's boat reaches the right place in the river, he pushes them into the river. Damin uses several ways to attract fish. During the day, he jumps Up and down on his boat. After dark, he hangs a Iight on a post at the front of the boat. The cormorants bring the fish back to the boat. he fish are then taken and thrown into a big basket by Damin. No nets are required for this type of fishing.
Cormorant fishing was once practiced in Iots of places in South-East China, and there were many fishermen in the area. But today, few young people are Interested In it. In 50 years，perhaps there will be no more cormorant fishermen in the world.
王大明是个渔夫。虽然他已经65岁了，但他很健康，仍然很喜欢工作。 大明使用鸬鹚捕鱼。鸬鹚是大型的黑色鸟类。它们善于捕鱼，因为它们能在水里游得很好。他们可以潜水，在水下呆两分钟。
大明通常在下午晚些时候出发，让鸬鹚做好工作的准备。首先，他把一根草绑在脖子上，阻止它们吃大鱼。然后，当大明的船到达河里适当位置的时候，他把它们赶到河里。大明用几种方法来吸引鱼。白天，他在船上跳来跳去。天黑以后，他在船前面的杆上挂一盏灯。鸬鹚把鱼带回到船上。然后，大明取下鱼，把它们扔进一个大篮子里。这种捕鱼不需要鱼网。
鸬鹚捕鱼曾经在中国东南部的许多地方进行过，而且这个地区有很多渔民。但如今，很少有年轻人对此感兴趣。50年后，世界上就再也不会有鸬鹚渔民了。

Unit 4 Cartoons and comic strips
How to make a cartoon
First, you need to decide on some basic ideas for a story. This story is about a robot, Han. He always forgets things.
One day, Han meets his friends Sarah and Tim at the underground station. He says, “I’m happy. I bought a new notebook. Now I won’t forget things.”
Sarah says, “Yes, I have one too. Here it is.” Tim asks, “Where’s yours, Han?”
Han says, “Oh, no! I forgot to bring it!”
In the second stage, think about the kinds of characters you want and what they will look like.
Han is a tall robot. He has square eyes. They are actually video cameras. Tim wears glasses, so he looks clever. Sarah is a pleasant girl. She has straight, black hair.
Now make a rough sketch of the story.
Next, use a computer to draw detailed pictures and add colour. To make the characters and things appear to move, each picture should be made a little different from the one before it.
In the next stage, a computer program is used to put the pictures together as a film.
Finally, record the voices and sound effects. The actors will do the characters’ voices. Their speech must match the pictures. Sound effects, like the noise of the underground, must also be added separately .
After everything has been checked, the cartoon is ready to be played for everyone to enjoy.
