An Activity for Reading

By: CCTV Department of Education

This activity is developed by reading experts for you to use with children. Doing the activity with your children helps you develop their reading skills while having fun at the same time. If the reader finishes one book and asks for another, you know you are succeeding!

We wish you spend wonderful hours of reading with children! This summer holiday, we will invite some families to the program

“Readers”to read aloud poems or books you like, and share your reading experience.

Activity: Read to me

It’s important to read to your child, but equally important to listen to them to read to you.

What you will need: Books at your child’s reading level!

What to do:

▲Read good books to your child. Parents who read aloud to their children are developing their interests and skills in reading. Encourage your children to listen, express their ideas, and ask questions.

▲Take turns. You read a paragaph and let your child read the next one. If your child becomes easier with reading aloud, you can ask him or her to read a full passage.

▲Listen carefully as your child reads. Listening to your child will encourage them to pracice reading. Besides, this is another way to enjoy reading together.

▲If your child has trouble reading words, you can help him or her in some ways.

●Ask the child to jump over the word and read the rest, then try to guess the meaning of the missing word.

●Guide your child to use what he or she knows about letter sounds.

●Tell your child that you are proud of his or her hard working.

I am walking through the winter park where the trees stand cold and bare (光秃秃的). The yellow leaves have fallen to the ground. Now, a group of women gather at the sides of a path. In the cold winter, they’re moving their arms and legs to a rhythm (节奏). They are, of course, the dancing aunties.

It seems that if you go to any public space around China, you’re likely to see these dancing aunties. When I first came to China, it was one of the first things that annoyed me. That’s because in Britain dancing in public is not a cultural habit. You won’t see any age group swinging their arms and tapping their feet in a park. Usually, they just take a walk for exercise.

Now and again the dancing aunties have hit the headlines (头条新闻). Some people find them annoying. But others respect their right to dance in public. Most of them are middle-aged. They finally have some free time to do whatever they like. There is no more work, and their kids have left.

Personally, I like seeing these women enjoying themselves. They remind us of the importance of exercise as we get older. Besides, most of them have raised the whole families. Now it is their time to have fun and enjoy some peace.

() are the women doing in the cold winter ____________.

are walking. are singing.

are working. are dancing.

() did the writer think of dancing aunties at first ________________.

. . . .

( to the passage, the writer probably comes from __________.

( of the following is NOT true according to the passage ___________.

women dance at the sides of a British people usually walk for exercise.

of the middle-aged women like dancing in public.

people dislike dancing aunties.

()’s the passage mainly about _______________________.

opinions about dancing in public.

opinions about dancing uncles.

opinions about exercising in Britain.

opinions about dancing inside.

C

Young people and older people don't always agree with each other. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and having fun. But in one special program in New York, adults and teenagers live

together in peace.

Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group．Everyone works for several hours each day. The purpose of this program is not just to keep busy. It is also to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work on the farms near the village. Some learn to make furniture and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.

There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free time, some of the teenagers learn photography and painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.

When people live together, rules are always necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the whole group will discuss the problem. They ask, “Why did it happen What should we do about it”

One of the teenagers has this to say about the experience, “You don’t only think about yourself. You learn how to think about the group. ”

There is an interesting place in the city of Turku（图尔库）in Finland. It is the Naphouse. People can escape(逃避) stress there.

Jeremy Mast had the idea of the new “nap”cafe. He is a Frenchman who has been living in Finland since 2006. “The idea came to me in a restaurant when I felt a bit sleepy after a meal. I thought it would be so nice to have a place for resting and I started to think what it could be like.” He said.

After finding people liked his idea, Mast opened the Naphouse. People will be given slippers, a pillow, a blanket and even a teddy bear before entering the blue coloured nap room. The people’s sleeping time there is about one and a half hours on average.

“A lot of different kinds of people come here: students, teenagers, working people and some mothers with babies,” Mast said.

People can use the nap room for free, but some of them choose to make a donation to keep the Naphouse going.
