City Swimming Pool Rules
The pool is closed on the first Monday of each month. If you lose something, please call the office number on the wall.
In our country, people over twenty can vote. Every four years they elect a new president. Before that day, each side talks about its policy on TV and in the streets.
On voting day, most shops are closed. For many people, it is a great day. Fathers and mothers take their children with them. The children cannot vote, but they can watch and learn.
At night, everybody sits in front of the TV and waits for the numbers.
Dear Mr. Chen,
I am a student at Central Junior High School. Our English club will hold a talk next month, and we hope you can come.
You are a diplomat, and you have worked in Korea, China and Britain. Many of us want to know what your job is like.
The talk is on May 8, from two to three in the afternoon. We can pay you a small fee.
Please let us know before April 20.

Class 301 asked forty-four students about their future jobs.
| Job | Boys | Girls |
|---|---|---|
| Lawyer or judge | 5 | 9 |
| Photographer | 6 | 4 |
| Doctor | 7 | 6 |
| Barber | 4 | 3 |
Each student chose only one job. Nobody chose to be a diplomat. The teacher asked the same question two years ago.
