Amy: Mom, our class trip to the science museum in Taichung is this Saturday. Could you drive me to the train station that morning?
Mom: Sorry, I have to work on Saturday morning, but your elder brother, who starts work later than I do, can take you. Which train will you take?
Amy: Mr. Lin wants us to meet on the platform at 8:20, ten minutes before our train leaves. Here is the time list that he gave us.
| Train | Leaves Taipei | Arrives in Taichung | Student Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 101 | 8:00 | 9:10 | $350 |
| 103 | 8:30 | 9:50 | $300 |
| 105 | 9:00 | 10:30 | $250 |
Mom: OK. Remember to check the weather first, because the school may cancel the trip if a typhoon comes.
Amy: I will. I am so excited that I may not sleep well on Friday night!
艾咪：媽，我們班去台中科學博物館的校外教學在這星期六。妳那天早上可以開車載我去火車站嗎？

Green Hill Youth Camp: For Young People Only!
This summer, Green Hill, which sits beside a lake in the mountains, will hold two camps for teenagers from 13 to 18.

Dear Mia,
How are you? Our new term started two weeks ago, and I am already very busy. I have seven classes every weekday and a vocabulary test every Friday, so I study new words on the bus every morning.
My elder sister, who used to share a room with me, just went to college in Tainan. To be honest, the silence at night is so hard for me that I often cannot fall asleep for hours. Luckily, she comes home on weekends, and we talk until midnight.
You said that you write a weekly diary in English. I would like to try that, too, but I never know how to start. Could you tell me how you begin each one? Please also send me a photo of your school.
Yours,
Ruby
親愛的米亞：
妳好嗎？我們的新學期兩星期前開始了，我已經很忙了。我每個平日都有七堂課，每星期五還有單字小考，所以每天早上都在公車上背新單字。
我姊姊以前和我同一個房間，她剛去台南讀大學。老實說，晚上的安靜讓我很難受，我常常好幾個小時都睡不著。幸好她週末會回家，我們會聊到半夜。
妳說妳每週用英文寫一篇日記。我也想試試看，可是我總是不知道怎麼開始。妳可以告訴我每一篇是怎麼開頭的嗎？也請寄一張妳學校的照片給我。

Long ago, before people had clocks or calendars, they looked up at the sky to measure time. The moon, which seems to change its shape every night, goes from a thin line to a full circle and back again in about thirty days. We call this period a month.
People also watched the sun, whose path across the sky changes with the seasons. The earth goes around the sun in about 365 days, and that is the length of one year. In the past, farmers used the moon and the sun to decide when to plant rice and when to protect their fields from the cold.
Today most people check the time on their phones without thinking about the sky. However, the months and years that we use every day still come from it.
很久以前，在人們還沒有時鐘或月曆的時候，他們抬頭看天空來計算時間。月亮的形狀似乎每晚都在變，它從細細的一條線變成滿滿的圓、再變回來，大約要三十天。我們把這段時間稱為一個「月」。
人們也觀察太陽，太陽在天空中走的路線會隨著季節改變。地球繞太陽一圈大約要 365 天，那就是一年的長度。過去，農夫利用月亮和太陽來決定什麼時候種稻、什麼時候要保護田地不受寒害。
現在大部分的人用手機看時間，不會想到天空。然而，我們每天使用的月和年，仍然來自天空。
