Unit 1 People around us
My grandma
My grandma was a short woman with grey hair. She was always cheerful. She was a very good cook. Her dishes were probably the best in the world! I will never forget the taste, and the smell as well. Grandma took care of my family. She was really kind and patient. She died two years ago and I miss her very much.

Alice
Alice is my best friend. She is a tall girl with glasses. She often tells me jokes to make me laugh, but she never makes fun of others. Alice is a smart girl. She is good at Maths. We often study and play table tennis hope we will always remain friends.

Mother's Day
Mums do a lot of hard work. They cook and clean for us. They also encourage us and give us support. Mother’s Day is the time for us to say “Thank you” to our mums.
In most countries, people celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May every year. On this day, people like to buy flowers and make special Mother’s Day cards for their mums.
Mother’s Day is not only about gifts.We can help our mums do the housework. We can take them to the park or the cimema. Sometimes a simple hug or saying
“I love you, Mum” is the perfect gift for our mums.
Mother’s Day is about love. If you love your mum, why not plan a special Mother’s Day for her

The Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Tower of Pisa is one of the most beautiful bell towers in Italy. It is not only beautiful, but also strange—it leans to one it is known as “The Leaning Tower of Pisa”.
The building of the tower began in took nearly 200 years to complete. In 1178, when the building got to third floor, it started to lean. The builders tried to make the tower straight again when they built the upper floors, but failed.
Over the years, the tower has continued to lean further.
Experts have done a lot of studies and tried to “rescue” the tower. In 1990, it was closed to the public for safety reasons.
