It was a sunny day. Albert and two of his friends went hiking. They started the trip at the foot of Dimond Hill. They passed some bushes, small paths and rocks. They heard birds singing and saw some colourful butterflies flying around them.
Joe, Albert's classmate, was taking photographs. Suddenly, he tipped on a small rock and twisted his ankle. He nearly fell along the slope. He cried for help. Albert held his arm and pulled him up.
The three friends decided to take a rest. Albert helped Joe to bind his bleeding wound with a bandage. John tried to collect a stick for Joe. After they took a rest for ten minutes, they continued their hiking. They were more careful to climb the mountian.
It took them nearly three hours to reach the top of the mountain. They were all very happy.

An Unforgetable Dating
Write a story for your school magazine. Use the 4 pictures. Give the story a title.
At recess, my classmate, David invited me to watch a movie on Saturday. David was a handsome prefect, and many of my classmates admired him. Some of them wanted to be his girlfriends. Being his girlfriend is something. I can be proud of. Without a second thought, I accepted his invitation. We agreed to meet at the entrance of the cinema on Saturday.
I wanted to give David a good impression. To have a good start, I decided to buy some new clothes to wear on Saturday. I also went to a hair salon to change my hair style. I was very happy with my new look.
It was the Saturday afternoon, I was very excited for the dating. I spent the whole afternoon dressing up myself. Then I said goodbye to my mum and I left home.
When I walked near to the cinema, I saw David waving his hand to me. I could see that he was excited, too. He wore a pink suit with a white tie. When we came close to each other, we couldn't stop laughing at ourselves.

A Letter of Advice Your friend, Amy is sending you a letter sharing with you some unhappy experience. She wants to ask for your help. Read the letter and reply her with your suggestions.
- Hi Alvin
- I'm very stressed these days. Let me share with you what have happened, so you may give me some advice.
- These days, our school is preparing for the open days. I am one of the choir members and I need to stay two days after the school for the choir practice. At the same time, I also need to help to decorate the classrooms for the open days. It takes me two more days after school. The problem is I was so tried after I came home. I went straight to bed. I couldn't manage to study and revise for the tests. So, I failed two tests in the past two weeks. I felt very bad about the results. What shall I do? Please help me. Best Wishes, Amy
