Reading (3a: P80)
The second story about April Fool’s
Day is the most believable. I have a
similar experience. A few years ago, it
was said there would be a big
earthquake in our area. So people tried
to buy as much food as possible
such as vegetables and bean oil.
Suddenly things became expensive.
And it was hard to buy things for
daily use. But at last there was no
earthquake at all and foods were sold
out in shops and supermarkets.
Writing (3b: P80)
A sample version:
On the morning of April 1, Nick got
up after the alarm went off. His
brother told him to hurry up or he
would be late for school. So Nick took
a shower quickly, got dressed in a
hurry and rushed to school. When he
got to school, he found there was
nobody at school. So he began to
study in the classroom. An hour later,
other kids showed up. Nick realized
his brother had fooled him.
Writing (3c: P80)
A sample joke:
The story happened during my
first few days in a new school. My
friend Jim told me that the woman
standing in front of our classroom
was our new English teacher.
So I walked toward her and said
hello to her. However, she looked
puzzled and said nothing to me.
Later I realized that Jim had played
a joke on me.
