I used to hate reading books before I was in Grade Six. I thought it was boring. But our Chinese teacher Mrs. Liu did something that made a big difference to my life. She opened the world of books for me.
I’ll never forget the first day of Grade Six when Mrs. Liu took out a thick book and began to read a story to our class. Her voice seemed to change with the characters in the story, and she drew pictures in my mind as she read aloud. Since that day, I couldn t wait until after lunch when she would read to our class.
During the summer holidays, I missed hearing the stories Mrs Liu had read. So one day I picked up a book and read it myself. I found that I could make the words interesting, too.
Now. I love to read. I have read fifty books so far.

When Sarah was a teenager, she used to fight over almost everything with her family. But five years ago, while she was studying abroad in England, she heard a song of feelings about returning home on the radio. It made Sarah think about her family and friends back in the US. She came to realize how much she actually missed all of them. Ever since then, she has been a fan of American country music.
Country is a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America. Nashville, Tennessee is the home of country music. Many songs these days are just about modern life in the US, such as the importance of money and success, but not about belonging to a group. However, country music brings us back to the"good old days"when people were kind to each other and trusted one another. It reminds us that the best things in life are free-- laughter, friends, family, and the beauty of nature and the countryside
Sarah hasn’t been to Nashville yet, but it is her dream to go there one day. She has already read a lot about the place and done some research on it. She knows that there is a Country Music Hall of Fame Museum in Nashvile. There are also always a lot of great count y music concerts with famous musicians and singers, like Garth Brooks , Sarah has already listened to most of his songs. "Garth is one of the most successful musicians in American history. He's sold more than 120 million records. I hope to see him sing live one day!”

【2】What does Sarah like? _____________________________________________________
【3】Which place in Nashville is the home of country music ? ___________________________
