Unit 4

Hong Kong is a beautiful city. In the city centre there are parks, museums and some
amazing shopping centres. There are some fantastic restaurants and amazing hotels.
Around the city there is a beautiful landscape of hills and mountains. Are there any
beaches? Hong Kong is an island so there are some beautiful beaches, and there are
234 other islands. The airport is on the small island of Lantau.
Unit 5

In Japan, school usually starts at 8.00 or 8.30, and finishes at 3.30 or 3.50. At most
schools, children wear a school uniform but they never wear their shoes in class. They
usually have lunch at school and they eat in their classroom. After lunch, children
always brush their teeth and then they clean the classroom. After school, they
sometimes go to after-school clubs. In the evening, they like reading Manga comics or
playing computer games.

Unit 6

Today, the children in Park High School aren’t playing football. They’re playing
Australian rules football. It’s very different to football. Two teams of 18 players kick and
pass the ball. They can hold the ball but they can’t throw it. One boy is hitting the ball
with his hand. You can hit it with any part of your body. Now, a boy is kicking the ball
between the posts. It’s a goal!

Unit 7

Shakespeare was a famous writer in the 16th century. The queen of England, Queen
Elizabeth I, loved plays and literature. She asked Shakespeare to write plays for her. The
actors of the Globe Theatre in London performed a lot of Shakespeare’s plays. There
were many famous poets and writers in England at that time. Christopher Marlowe was
another famous writer and poet, and he and Shakespeare were friends.

Unit 8

In the 19th century, people didn’t fly in planes. There weren’t any planes. So, how did
they travel long distances? People from England travelled to America by ship. They
sailed to New York from Liverpool. The ships were like enormous, luxury hotels. How long
did it take? In 1840, the journey took 12 days. By 1907, the journey took four or five days.
Today the journey takes seven hours!
