A map is a picture of a place. There can be many different maps of the same place. A map cannot show everything about a place.    1    . Here, you will get to make a map which shows the things that make your community a special place to live in.

Before you start drawing, make a list of the places and things in your community that you want to include on your map.    2    , places where your relatives and friends live and your favorite places. How do you get there? What roads or paths do you take? What kind of things do you see along the way? As you know, some maps are made to show locations and other maps show us how to get there. They can also show the distances.

Now, let’s create a map of your community. On a large piece of paper, draw pictures of the places or the things you decide to include on your map.    3   . Use darker colors to fill in the areas between the features and roads on your map to make your map more interesting to look at.    4   . When your map is finished, show it to your friends or family members to see what they think of it.

Last Saturday, our school organized a talent show to raise money for charity. It was a great success. Students took an active part in it and we raised 20,000 yuan in all.
After the show I interviewed three students. First, I talked with Liu Li. In the talent show, she danced the ballet（芭蕾舞）. “How long have you been dancing the ballet?” I asked. “For about six years.” she answered. “Why do you learn it?” “I think it’s beautiful and I want to be a professional dancer when I grow up.”
Next I had a talk with Zhao Qiang. He played a piece of Mozart’s music. He played wonderfully. I asked, “When did you start playing the piano?” “Um, I’m twelve now and I have been doing it since I was five.” he said. “Are you going to play the piano after you finish high school?” “Sure. My dream is to be a pianist.”
Finally, I asked Chen Yun, an 11-year-old girl. She sang us some folk songs（民歌）. Her voice is very sweet. “Why are you interested in folk music?” I asked. “I admire Song Zuying and I want to be a singer like her. I have been singing folk songs since five years ago. I hope I can hold a singing concert in the future.” she said.

A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain.
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick? “
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life. . . ”
The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.
