Dear Michael,
I hope this email finds you well. After considering both options you presented for enhancing our classroom atmosphere, I’d like to express my preference for the English Story Sharing activity.
There are some reasons for my choice. To begin with, storytelling allows us to explore diverse cultures and perspectives, broadening our horizons. Moreover, it encourages creativity and critical thinking as we interpret and discuss the stories. Lastly, it provides a platform for us to practice English in a natural and engaging way, improving our language skills practically.
I believe it will make our class more enjoyable and effective. Thank you for your consideration.
Yours,

Summer presents a collection of festivals that combine fun, charity, and awareness. Here are four special celebrations happening in June:
National Go Barefoot Day (June 1)
Established after the 2004 tsunami, this day promotes barefoot walking for health benefits like stronger muscles while supporting Soles4Souls, a non-profit that has provided 19 million shoes globally. You can join barefoot activities or organize shoe collections. By simply taking off your shoes, you can improve your own health while helping children get the shoes they need.
World Oceans Day (June 8)
Oceans cover 66% of Earth and provide 50% of our oxygen, yet 8 million tons of plastic waste pollute them yearly. This day honors the ocean’s irreplaceable roles while inspiring worldwide participation. People can get involved by cleaning beaches, reducing single-use plastics, and watching educational films — turning awareness into action for a healthier planet.
Be a Kid Again Day (June 12)
This lighthearted day encourages adults to relive childhood joys — whether sliding down playground slides, building sandcastles, or rewatching classic kids’ movies. Beyond personal enjoyment, the celebration also supports meaningful causes like A Kid Again, a US non-profit organization that provides fun-filled adventures for children with life-threatening illnesses.
Helen Keller Day (June 27)
Held every year on June 27, this day honors Helen Keller (1880-1968) who became the first person with her disabilities to earn a college degree and wrote 12 books. While celebrating her amazing life, the day also recognizes all those who support the blind and deaf community through events like charity fashion shows and public readings of Keller’s inspirational works.

As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September 2016, more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A. They fired her enthusiasm for helping others.
B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They made her decide to leave the country.
D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A. Cold weather. B. Soil pollution. C. Low rainfall. D. Forest damage.
6. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia
A. To create job opportunities for young people.
B. To promote the protection of their farmland.
C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
D. To help the children obtain a basic education.
7. Which of the following can best describe Sarah
A. Strict and intelligent. B. Responsible and determined.
C. Ambitious but self-doubting. D. Humble but inexperienced.
C
Musical training is gaining worldwide recognition for its striking impact on human cognition (认知), which has long been paid less attention to in traditional education. A growing body of scientific evidence shows that learning to play a musical instrument greatly promotes brain development and strengthens the processing skills of languages, especially when people try to understand speech in noisy environments.
To explore how music influences the brain, researchers at Northwestern University carried out a controlled experiment, in which they compared two groups of young adults. One group had received continuous musical training for at least four years, while the other had no experience of playing any musical instrument. Participants (参加者) were asked to recognize spoken statements mixed with background noise, and the results showed a clear advantage: those with musical training performed much better in picking out useful sounds from unwanted noise.
Professor Kraus, who was in charge of the study, stressed that continuous musical practice sharply improves auditory processing. The ability to identify pitch, rhythm (节奏) and tone in music directly strengthens the brain’s ability to understand spoken language, benefiting daily communication and classroom learning.
The findings also proved that people with musical training usually have better memories and higher grades in language subjects. Regular instrumental practice helps improve attention and connections, placing a solid cognitive basis for better academic performance.
Based on the above findings, Professor Kraus and some experts suggest that music could receive greater attention in school curricula. Instead of being regarded as an extra subject for relaxation, music should be treated as a key part of basic education that supports all-round intellectual development. Music is not just a form of entertainment, but a powerful type of cognitive training that can effectively improve students’ learning abilities in different fields.
8. What is the function of musical training according to Paragraph 1
A. To offer people more ways to relax. B. To reduce background noise in daily life.
C. To take the place of traditional education. D. To improve language processing ability.
9. What were the participants asked to do in the experiment
A. Tell loud noises apart. B. Play musical instruments.
C. Recognize speech in noisy situations. D. Receive four years of musical training.
10. What is the author’s attitude to the present school music education
A. Supportive. B. Confident. C. Indifferent. D. Dissatisfied.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. School Music Education Needs Greater Attention.
B. Musical Training Improves Language Cognitive Skills.
C. Music Study Helps Noise-Based Language Recognition.
D. Auditory Processing Promotes Language Understanding.

Primary and secondary school learners, university students, and guests were invited on Wednesday and were treated to a colorful celebration at the Confucius Institute at the University of Nairobi, to mark the beginning of the year of the dragon which officially starts on Saturday.
