Unit 2 The camel that I rode had a bad temper.
■ Warm up by writing a short passage.
Hello, class. Before we read the letter on page 58, we shall first try to write something. We shall try to write a short passage with all the words that are listed in the top left corner of page 58.
bright, coast, field, funny, grape, ham, hill, lamb, outback, relative, sheep, spirits, surfing, wine
I went to Dalian last Sunday and I stayed there for three days.
To me Dalian is a really beautiful city with small hills and blue seas. The sky is so bright with no pollution. The coast is crowded with visitors form all over China. The field is so green and clean that it looks like a picture.
I stayed at my relative's for the night. In the daytime I went shopping in the streets and surfing at the sea. I bought some wine for my father made from grapes that are grown locally in Dalian. I had some wonderful Dalian dishes like sea fish and menzi, a typical local food. I asked for ham and lamb, too. But I was told they are not Dalian food. For no sheep are raised there. I felt hot one afternoon and I bought a drink locally made. But it made me feel funny.
I think life in Dalian is different from the outback life in my place, but I like Dalian and its spirits.
