9 September
Today was my first Friday back at school after the summer vacation. I enjoyed the summer vacation very much. I visited many of my friends and relatives and ate lots of delicious food. I didn’t enjoy school so much at first. I dislike school lunch. It is not delicious.
I spoke to a new boy called Fergus at school. We started speaking because Fergus sat next to me in our maths lesson. We both found the last problem too difficult to work out, so we tried to work it out together. When the lesson was over, we went out and had our school lunch together.
Fergus and I found out that there are lots of similarities between us:
We like Maths, but we both find maths difficult, but really have fun in English lessons.
We both got new bikes before the new school year.
Fergus likes the same music as I do. We are crazy about rock music.
Hamburgers are his favourite food, and I like them as well.
We both play baseball.
The only difference we could find is that Fergus plays first base, but I play catcher. That’s good because it means we will be able to play together in the same team. Fergus is going to join our school team. He is going to play with us after school this Thursday.
I found out that he lives around the corner from my house, so we will be able to ride bikes or walk to school together. I think Fergus and I will be good friends. In fact, we are friends already.
33．What did Pandy NOT enjoy of the new term
A．School lunch. B．New friends. C．Maths. D．Softball.
34．What did Pandy and Fergus do when they first met
A．They discussed maths together. B．They had dinner together.
C．They rode bike to school together. D．They played softball together.

Language and Power (权力): Cameroon’s Story
By Elisa Grant, 2 Oct
In the modern world, being able to speak English is often a way to get power. However, this is not true for English speakers in Cameroon in Africa (非洲), To know why things are different in this African country, we need to go back one hundred years.
In 1919, Kamerun (the name of Cameroon at the time) was cut into two parts: one belonged to (属于) France, and the other belonged to the UK. In 1960, the French Cameroon became the Republic of Cameroon, and the UK’s part joined it in 1961. The new country changed it name to the Federal Republic of Cameroon. Both French and English are Cameroon’s official languages, but only around 20％ of its people speak English. Also, the government (政府) has been in French speakers’ hands since (自从) the two parts became one country.
For a long time, Cameroon’s English speakers feel they are not welcome in their own country. For example, it is very difficult for them to find jobs in the government, and they are often asked to speak French in companies and at official events (事件). They are more resentful at the government and decided to fight for themselves. A few years ago, the English speakers started to try to build their own country. In October, 2017, they said in a meeting that they were not part of Cameroon any more. They are now a new country, “Ambazonia”. When the police tried to stop the meeting, at least eight people were killed. Read more

D．It does not agree that Ambazonia is a country.

76．例文
Dear Mike,
I’m glad to tell you that we have two new selective courses (选修课) this term. One is the Travelling Course and the other is the DIY Course.
I choose the travelling course, because I like travelling. During the travelling course, we can read books to open our mind and enjoy the places of interest from all over the world. Besides, we can discuss in groups to learn more about the local culture.
I remembered that we had a discussion about my hometown—Guangzhou. During the class, the students and the teacher introduced many things about it in different ways. That made me know more about my hometown and realized how beautiful it was. From this experience, I enjoyed the class even more.
I believe I will benefit a lot from the course. What about your selective course Looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes!
Li Hua
