*Audio Script:
Part 1:
My favourite hobby is reading. I enjoy reading a book when I have time.
I started to do it when I was four years old. The first time I did it, I felt interested. So I kept reading. The
teachers always taught me to read the difficult words. I was happy when I read a story with a happy
ending. I was thrilled when I read a detective story. I enjoy reading because I like to explore the
imaginative world of my favourite author, J.K.Rowling who writes “Harry Potter”.
There are a lot of advantages of reading.Reading can make me relaxed and calm. I can also learn new
vocabulary items. Then I can further improve my English. Moreover, it can give me an unlimited
imagination, so I can write books in the future. I can learn the different cultures of other countries in the
world too. I read at least one hour every day. I read books by myself at home. I wish I could read different
kinds of books because it might be very challenging.
Part 2:
Hi, everyone! My name is Dave. Last weekend, I had a wonderful time joining in a small volunteer
campaign with lots of my schoolmates. Its name was “Go green”. It was organized by my school. What we
did was to make our school and three other schools in the area become greener. We planted a lot of trees
in different parts of the schools. We divided into teams of six. Each group had one teacher as a leader and
was responsible for a small area. Our group planted 5 small trees and 1 bigger one in my school and 9
small trees in other schools. We planted 15 trees in total! Not a small number, right? It was great to help
other school. The school bus took us to those schools and we spent one and a half day to work in the three
schools. I was a bit tired on the second day, but it was a lot of fun to meet some new friends. After that
day, I got 2 new interesting friends!!! Also, it was a good chance for me to learn about teamwork.
