1. Write a paragraph about a fairy tale you have read. Write 80-100 words.
It is a fable about a goose that laid golden eggs. There are three main characters: the goose, the man and his
wife. A man and his wife owned a very special goose. Every day the goose would lay a golden egg. One
day, the man’s wife said that if they could have all the golden eggs inside the goose, they could be richer
much faster. The man agreed with the idea. Then the couple killed the goose and cut her open. But the
goose had no golden eggs inside her at all. The fable tells us not to be greedy and to think before we act.

Hi Charles,
Can’t wait to tell you about my recent activity to help protect the environment. You know what? I joined an
environmental club and we went to West Lake to collect the rubbish there every Saturday. I started this
activity three weeks ago.
It was great to go around the lake and collect the rubbish. I could see that the pavement looks much cleaner
after we’d done our job. Some people, especially the children, imitate us and put their rubbish into the bins.
I felt really happy.
What about you? Have you done anything to save the environment? Tell me about it, OK?
Love,
