Hello, everyone. Here is something important for everyone going to London next month. As you know, you are going to stay with a family for two weeks. Now, the most important thing is money. You should take about $530 with you. I think it will be enough for everyone. Then, when you arrive, your new family will meet you. You must remember to wear a red shirt, so the family will find you easily. They’ve been told you all wear red shirts. You’ll also need to take with you 4 photos of yourself and, of course, it’s very important that you take the school letter. While you’re there, if you have any problems, you can call Leech School Office. I’ll give you the office phone number now: it’s 580-4436 and the person to ask for is Mrs. Belcher…She’s in the office from nine o’clock in the morning until five in the afternoon every day. OK. That’s everything. Have a good journey!

D=Diarmuid，F= Feifei

D: (laughing to himself) Dear, oh dear.

F: Hi Diarmuid. What are you laughing at?

D: I'm just looking at my old class 1.             from my school days. They've been stored away for all these years. My mum 2.             them in the attic(阁楼).

F: What do they say?

D: Have a look for yourself.

F: Let me see. Let's choose a 3.            . Ummm…here we are, History: (reading) "Diarmuid has failed to learn anything this year because he 4.             all his time chatting at the back of the classroom." Let's look at another... Math: "Diarmuid must learn that it is not enough just to sit at his desk. He must pay attention to the lesson, and study hard out of class and do his homework."

F: It seems you were an awful 6.            .

D: Well, it's true I was never a swot(书呆子).

When you cough or sneeze, you’d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, “Excuse me.”

       This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs(细菌)along to everything and everyone they touch.

       If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass.

       After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go a long way toward helping students realize how to be polite and think others. Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there.

       When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, of a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter.

       After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways. I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan. In both places, people made effort to make way for others. On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left. On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter.

The Greenest School in Britain

The pupils and teachers at Fairfield School think it's worth looking after the environment! This is what they've been doing:

Growing vegetables

Fairfield School pupils started their own vegetable garden. Both children and teachers plant and water the seeds ( 种子), then I hey pick the vegetables, which are used in school meals. Now they can all enjoy healthy food at lunchtime. "School dinners are tastier than ever before! " says one pupil.

Recycling

The Fairfield pupils don't just bring their books to school—they bring their rubbish too! There are recycling bins (回收箱 )in the playground for cans, plastic bottles, batteries and paper. The teachers give a prize every month to the pupil who's tried the hardest to recycle.

Planting trees

"This used to be one of the least beautiful areas of the city with no green areas, says the head teacher Lynne Johnson. "Now every child has planted their own tree, which he or she looks after during the week. They've made the view from the classroom more beautiful!

Finding cleaner ways to get around

Everyone walks or cycles to Fairfield School! "When the roads are busy, it’s faster to ride bikes than to go by car anyway,” says one pupil. Even the teachers don't use their cars. "We won't encourage our pupils to look after the environment if we don't do it ourselves! " says one teacher.
