7、正确答案】 Hometown I grew up in a village in Thailand, just outside the capital, Bangkok. No, I dont. I live here in Bangkok now, but my parents still live there and so does one of my sisters. The other sister works in Singapore as a flight attendant for Singapore Airlines. Its fairly quiet, but it is

8、very near the main road heading north out of Bangkok, so there is some noise from the traffic. Otherwise, its a fairly typical Thai village with small houses for the people to live in and only basic services. No, not much. Now, we have water and electricity from the mains, but village life hasnt cha

9、nged much. People still do the same jobs and live in the same homes. I suppose the water and electricity have made life more comfortable though. The peace and quiet. I hope that it stays that way, but I heard that the government wants to build another road nearby, so I might not get my wish. A new r

10、oad will certainly bring more and better jobs to the village, so it wont be all bad. Daily routine On workdays, I get up at 6 oclock. I have to be at work at 8:30, but I like to go to the gym in my office building before work to exercise. I find that a little exercise wakes me up! I go to bed at abo

11、ut 11 oclock, depending on what I do that particular evening. My Saturday routine is the same as my weekday routine, because I have to work six days a week, though I do get a few extra days off during the week as compensation. On Sundays, I dont have a routine. I just do what I feel like or do what

12、housework needs to be done. During the week, I wake up, shower, eat breakfast and go to exercise. I have lunch with colleagues. After work, I might go out for a meal with colleagues or friends or I might go shopping-shops are often open quite late in Bangkok. If Im tired, I just go home and relax. N

13、othing. Im very happy with it. Of course, it would be nice to work fewer hours, but thats not going to happen. I like the evenings, because I can relax after work or go out with friends and have some fun. I think most people are happy when their workday is over and they can do what they like to do.

14、I also like exercising in the morning very much. Time at secondary school I liked geography most of all. Ive always been interested in the world, how landscapes were formed and how people use the world. I had two or three geography lessons each week when I was at secondary school. One of my biggest

15、regrets is that I dont use geography in my work at all, but I do find it useful when I meet foreigners, because I can usually say something about their country. As a result, they think Im more intelligent than I really am! Nowadays, I think most students have to study about 12. Im not absolutely sur

16、e. When I went to school, we studied far fewer subjects, partly because there were not so many teachers available and partly because we didnt have the facilities for some subjects, such as computing and science. The most important subjects were Thai, math and English, because if you have good exam r

17、esults in those subjects its pretty easy to get a decent job in Bangkok. I dont know the exact number or percentage, but it is probably around a quarter of all students. The proportion is higher in the cities than in the countryside. I think that this is lower than in developed countries, but it mig

18、ht be higher than in other developing ones. Yes. I think this is true everywhere. I see all kids wear uniforms in Bangkok and the kids in my village do too. I think its a good idea, because it makes the students look equal. 2 【正确答案】 My favourite sport is canoeing. I only go canoeing about once a mon

19、th, usually on a fiver near my village. Sometimes I go alone, but usually a few friends join me. We spend the whole day on the fiver, stopping every couple of hours for a rest and a drink. We take our own food or stop at a cheap restaurant on the riverside for lunch. The fiver near my village is not

20、 fast flowing, so we can easily paddle upstream. Most of the land beside the fiver is farmland, but there are parts that go through forests. Sometimes we see wild animals there. Canoeing is not a popular sport in my country. We usually dont see any other people canoeing and if we do, they are likely

21、 to be foreigners. If we meet another group of canoeists, we stop in the middle of the fiver and chat for a while. 3 【正确答案】 I think that sports like football and basketball have grown in popularity over the past 20 years or so. Football has even become popular with girls. However, generally, I think

22、 people still like the same sports as they did before-table tennis, for example. Some young people do, but most people play a sport, at least for fun, and most young people in the cities try to get some exercise, perhaps by running or by going to a gym, like me. Schools make sure that kids get enoug

23、h exercise by having P.E. lessons two or three times a week. If you walk past a school, you can often see the kids in the playground, having a game of football, basketball or volleyball. According to experts, playing sports helps increase your level of energy. It also gives you the chance to meet pe

24、ople and make new friends-as long as you dont get too competitive! For many people, its just a way to have fun, which I think is the best reason to do something. I think that football will probably increase in popularity. Some young people are becoming really talented and there are several foreign c

25、oaches at schools around the country. Once the national team starts doing well in competition, I think more and more people will be attracted to it. Table tennis has long been popular in my country, but now some of our best players are making an impact on the international stage and this is attracti

26、ng a lot of interest from young people. As I mentioned before, both men and women enjoy football, though I think that many women often enjoy looking at the handsome players than the actual game! Basketball is not popular with women, but netball, which is quite similar, is. Table tennis is equally popular and its quite common to see men and women playing against each other, though not in formal competitions. Volleyball is more popular with women, but many men enjoy it too. Again, it is quite common to see men and women playing together for fun.
