Early to bed and early to rise （起床）makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. This is an old English saying. It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.

Exercise helps the blood （血液）to move around inside the body. Blood takes nutrition(营养) to all parts of our bodies. The brains in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better!

Our bodies also need air to breathe （呼吸）. Without air we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have plenty(大量的)of clean, fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy.28. The old English saying tells us ___________.

Most people drink tea in the world. But tea does not mean the same thing to different people. In different countries, people have different opinions（想法） about drinking tea.

In China, for example, tea is served when people get together. Chinese people drink it at home or in tea houses at any time of the day. They often use hot water to boil tea leaves.

Tea is also important in other Asian countries. People in these countries have a special way of serving tea. They hold a tea ceremony(仪式) in their houses when important guests come. It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in their houses.

In the United States, people usually drink tea at breakfast or they drink it after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make tea. Because this way is easier and faster than the way of making tea inteapots（茶壶）. In summer, Americans drink iced tea. They like to put some ice in their tea.

Hi, everyone!

I'm glad to talk about myself here now. My name is Li Hua. I like playing basketball, and I want to be a basketball player one day. I’ve played it for 8 years. I’m very good at it now. I believe I can become a good player because I practise it really hard every day even when it rains or snows. I like making friends and I have many friends. At school, I do well in all my subjects except English. I can’t pronounce the English words well. That makes me sad. However, I’m going to try my best to learn them. I’m sure I can make it.

All right. So much for my speech. Thank you for listening.
