In Germany there are different        (kind) of high schools. Some prepare students for work, and others prepare them        college. All schools are great places for making friends and learning German.

    Short days Most high schools in Germany begin at about 8: 00 a. m.        end at about 3: 30 p. m. This        (mean) your morning will be busy with classes. You will have time to do 1180 homework and take part        private (私人的) clubs after school.

    Private clubs in many countries, schools offer official sports and after-school activities. This is        (little) common in Germany. After-school activities        (be) usually organized by private clubs. There are clubs for things        (like) soccer, dance, theatre and almost everything else. Once you are in Germany, ask around at school and talk to other students        (find) out what private clubs there are in your area and meet your        (interest).

    Most people are busy working and studying from Monday to Friday,        they feel free in the evening or at weekends. So many people watch television or go to the movies to relax        (they). And others take part in all kinds of        (activity).

    Almost everyone has some hobbies, such as collecting stamps and        (make) model planes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but some don't cost anything at all. And some collections are worth a lot of money, while some are valuable only to their        (own). Once there was a man who had a coin. And        coin was worth several thousand dollars. And later he        (spend) $ 250 on a rare fifty-cent piece! He was very happy        this collection and thought the price was all right. But his youngest brother collected about 600 match boxes. Maybe we think they are not worth any money. However, to his brother they were quite valuable. He thought it was happy        (find) a special match box for his collection.

    I think our hobby is something we like to do in our free time just for        (funny). The value is it can bring pleasure to us.

    Different people have different        (hobby). Some people like raising flowers, and        (other) like building model ships. I like        (collect) stamps.

    My father works in        big company. He always goes abroad. Two years       , when he was working abroad, he sent home a letter with a beautiful stamp        the envelope. I liked the stamp very much. Since then I have always asked my father        (send) me different stamps from different countries.

    Now I have        (many) than one thousand stamps. From these stamps I can        (learn) a lot. When I look through these beautiful stamps, I feel        (relax) and happy.

There are many        (interest) clubs in our school. They        (be) the Music Club, the Movie Club, the Basketball Club, the Chess Club, the Art Club and so on. We like these clubs and most        us are in these clubs. I think the Movie Club in our school is really interesting. Sixty-four students are in it. Forty are boys        the        (other) are girls. We all like        (watch) movies very much. Here you can see many        (kind) of movies. This month we have two        (act) movies, two thrillers and three comedies. Boys like action movies        thrillers. But girls don't like them. They like comedies. They think comedies are very        (fun). Do you like seeing the movies? Please join our Movie Club.

A pet is part of a family. Maybe some people don't like to live        a pet. But in the USA, people love        (animal).

Almost every family keeps (饲养) a pet. Keeping a pet at home takes time        the pet needs special care. If you want        (have) a pet, such as a dog or a cat, you should find some information about it online. Then you can learn more about it and know how to keep it        (good).

Every pet needs        place to run and play. What's more, you need to feed your pet on time. If you keep a dog, for example, walking is        (importance) to it.

You need to walk it at least        (two) a day, in the morning and in the evening. You can also play together. That will make both of you not        (boring). And you need to wash your dog once a month to make it clean. Remember: don't do anything bad to your        (pet) health. It needs a family and lots of love!
