Unfortunately, Therese had to work, so she couldn’t spend the day with us. But we headed out with her around lunchtime to explore on our own. Goteborg is a lovely city, full of nice neighborhoods and parks. In the evening, Therese and Ola cooked us a tasty Swedish meal and we sat around chatting for hours.
August 10, Tuesday
We had to leave the house at 9: 00 am. We caught the train to the ferry station to go to the city, where we ate fast food in order to get some work done. We explored Goteborg a bit more. The evening was full of South and Central American food—pepper, Roasted Garlic, Argentinian wine and mustard.
August 11, Wednesday
As always, it was a rush to get out of the house in time, and in our haste we left our beloved coffee machine behind. We caught the train to Stockholm. We stayed with Niklas, who we met in Lithuania in 2007. We went for a walk in the forest after dinner.
August l2, Thursday
Niklas doesn’t have the Internet at home and we couldn’t really work there, so instead we headed into his office for the morning. We worked hard until lunch and then went to see Stockholm. We met Ulrike, a friend of Niklas’. In the evening, we went for another walk in the forest—it’s so good to be hiking again!
August 13, Friday
We left Niklas’ place and managed to catch the bus which took us to the city center. Our host Benny met us at the station and took us for a long walk after dinner. Since it got dark at about 11:00 p.m., we could stay out as we wanted. We are leaving tomorrow. I really had a great time in Sweden.

A student is learning to speak British English. He wonders: Can I communicate with Americans? Can they understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences?
Certainly, there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and 'Have you a pen?” , Americans say “in the hospital” and ‘Do you have a pen?’. Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound theirs in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound theirs in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour” and “honour” are British, “color” and “honor” are American.
These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.

When we were very small, we realized that having friends was important. Some of us even had imaginary(想象中的)friends. The need for friends continued as we grew into our teens. Friends played a big part in forming our personalities(性格). As adults, it is still important for us to have friends.
True friends are people who like us though we made mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth. Friends support our decisions and tell us when we’re foolish. They laugh with us and share our sadness. They are our partners and share interests with us. They stimulate us when we are feeling down. They are people we aren’t afraid of telling our secret wishes to or what is really on our minds.
Friends are our supporters. When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm. Friends offer acceptance and emotional(情感的)support. At times, they also help with our everyday lives, cooking a meal, doing chores, or giving us a lift when we need one. Friends also are there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.
Friends also help us reduce stress. Not only do they listen to us when we feel stressed, but they also discuss what is stressing us. Sharing interests and doing activities with friends help us forget about problems at work or at home. For a short time, we can lose ourselves in a pleasant activity and perhaps laugh and breathe more easily.
8. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to Reduce Stress
B. How to Make New Friends
C. The Importance of Friends
D. The Qualities of Good Friends

A. educate B. encourage C. surprise D. dislike
10. We can learn from the third paragraph that friends always________.
A. laugh at us when we’re foolish
B. tell us other people’s secrets
C. share our sadness and interests
D. support us when we need help
11. We can learn from the passage that________.

As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!
With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.
Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world.
It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens. This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout life’s journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again.
You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!

Dear Susan,
I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble adapting to your new school life in America, but this situation can be easily changed if you take my advice.
Firstly, you should work hard at English, which can give you more opportunities to communicate with others. Secondly, why not make some friends? They can help you to know more about America, and it is very important to express your thoughts and feelings to them so that you can forget your loneliness. Thirdly, it would be a good idea if you take an active part in all kinds of activities, which will help to make life more interesting. By doing these, you will be happier with your new life soon.
I hope you will find these ideas useful.
Yours,
Li Mei
