This is my bucket list for this year. P

First, I want to go on a bike tour of Jejudo this summer. P

I've been there before, but I want to experience the island more freely on my bike this time. P

My second goal is to learn how to play the guitar. P

I think the guitar has the most beautiful sound of all musical instruments. P

I hope I can play my favorite song on my guitar by the end of this year. P

Finally, I want to get a good grade in math. P

Math is my weakest subject. P

This year, I'll put more effort into studying math to overcome my weakness. P

My last goal is a little more challenging. P

I became a big fan of this detective series last year, so I don't want to miss a single one. P

Kate, do you have any special plans for the new school year? P

I'm planning to study one new Chinese word every day. P

I didn't know you were interested in Chinese. When did you start studying Chinese? P

Only last month. But now I can introduce myself in Chinese. P

That's amazing! How did you get so into Chinese? P

It's because I'm a big fan of Chinese dramas. I hope I can soon watch them in Chinese and understand what they're saying. P

Well, keep studying hard, and I'm sure you'll be able to do it someday. P

I hope so. What about you? What are your plans for this year? P

Let me think. Getting a good grade in every subject? As usual. P

Seongmin spends a lot of time using his smartphone. P

He checks the news and weather. P

He plays smartphone games. P

He texts his friends. P

He finds information on the Internet. P

He reads online comic books. P

He watches movies. P

2-2 Reading 2

Seongmin cannot take his hands off his smartphone all day long. P

He does not know that using a smartphone too much can cause health problems. P

Are you a heavy user of your smartphone like Seongmin? If so, here are some tips to protect your health. P

Watch your neck and back. P

When you read on your smartphone, you usually bend your neck. P

This "text neck" pose increases the pressure on your neck and back. P

The best way to prevent this pressure is to bring the phone up to the level of your eyes. P

Another way is to lower your eyes instead of bending your neck. P

2-3 Reading 3

Give your eyes a break. P

It makes your eyes feel tired and dry to read small letters on a smartphone for a long time. P

Using a smartphone in the dark or in a moving car makes this problem worse. P

To avoid this, give your eyes a break from time to time. P

Follow the 20-20-20 rule. P

Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something at least 20 feet away. P

Also, blink your eyes often. This will keep your eyes from becoming dry. P

Do you text a lot on your smartphone? P

Texting for a long time can hurt your fingers and wrists. P

Try these exercises. They will help reduce the pain in your fingers and wrists. P

Pull on each finger of each hand. P

Put the backs of your hands together with your arms out in front of you. P

But remember. The best tip to prevent these health problems is to use your smartphone less. P

Give yourself some rest from your smartphone. P

I have dark circles under my eyes. P

Daniel, what are you doing? P

I'm reading a novel on my smartphone. P

Make sure you don't read in the dark. It's not good for your eyes. P

I'll turn the light on. P

Oh, no! I didn't bring my science book! P

Ms. Lee won't be happy about that. P

Can I borrow your science book? P

Just make sure you give it back when you're done. P

2-6 Real-Life Zone

What does your shirt say? P

Oh, this? It says "No Cellphone for 24 Hours.” P

No cellphone? Why? P

We depend on our phones too much these days. P

That's true. How often will you do this? P

I'm planning on doing it once a month, but I'm not sure. P

Try it first. Then, decide how often you should do it. P

Okay. I'm going to keep a diary of what I did without my phone for 24 hours. You should try it, too. P

I'll think about it. Make sure you keep up with it. P

I plan to. After I do it, I'll talk about my experience in class. P

2-7 Writing Workshop

There are both good things and bad things about using a smartphone. P

First, I can get in touch with my friends right away. P

Also, I can easily get information I need. P

That is useful when I have a lot of homework to do. P

On the other hand, using a smartphone too much makes my eyes feel dry and tired. P

Also, text messages and ads keep me from paying attention to my studies. P

So I need to use my smartphone intelligently. P

2-8 Wrap Up

What's the matter, Henry? P

Look at my new cellphone. P

Oh, your phone screen has a crack. Did you drop it? P

Yes. I dropped it on the way here. I'm so upset! P

Okay. I'll get one. P

We will practice hard and get better together. P

We also teach children how to play musical instruments as a service to our community. P

I am teaching an eleven-year-old boy to play the violin. P

Two brothers went on a journey. P

They found a rock in front of a forest. P

The younger brother said, “Let’s go and find happiness together.” P

“No,” said the older brother, P

Instead of finding happiness, we can be killed!” The younger brother replied, P

“How can we know if we don’t try?” P

They separated, and they both went their own way. P

The younger brother went into the forest and swam across the river. P

There was the bear. She was sleeping. P

The older brother said, “I was right. I have lived quietly and well. P

That's a great idea. P

Does the visiting team always wear a dark color? P

Yes, that’s the rule. Home teams have bright uniforms and visiting teams have dark uniforms. P

Why is that? P

There is an interesting story about that. P

In the past, visiting teams could not wash their uniforms after every game. P

So they started wearing dark colors to hide the dirt. P

That was a good idea! P

The players are warming up. P

Who’s your favorite player? P

What does the number mean? P

Players choose a number they like. P

You know what? In the past, the numbers were determined by the players’ batting order. P

That means there were no players with number 77! P

5-6 Reading 3

Now, Jihun’s favorite player is about to bat. Jihun looks anxious. P

Your favorite player is at bat. P

My friend Altan is from Mongolia. P

His grandmother invited me to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. P

After a four-hour flight from Seoul, Altan and I arrived at Chinggis Khaan International Airport in Ulaanbaatar. P

It took thirty minutes by taxi from the airport to Altan’s grandmother’s house. P

Her house is a ger, a traditional Mongolian house. P

It is a big tent, but it is cozy inside. P

When we entered, something smelled wonderful. P

It was from the khorkhog that she was cooking for us. P

Khorkhog is a Mongolian barbecue. P

It is made of lamb and cooked with hot stones. P

I was moved when Altan said Mongolians serve khorkhog to special guests. P

It was so delicious that I asked for more. P

After dinner, Altan and I went outside to see the night sky. P

The sky was full of bright stars. P

I felt like I was in a magical place. P

6-6 Reading 3

During the next three days, Altan showed me around and helped me experience Mongolian culture. P

Every moment was fun and exciting, but I had the most fun when I rode a camel in the Gobi Desert. P

At first, I was scared because the camel was taller than I expected. P

But once I sat on its back, I soon got used to its movement. P

From the camel’s back, the view of the desert was truly amazing. P

My visit to Mongolia was a special experience in many ways. P

It gave me a great chance to get to know my friend’s country and culture. P

I want to visit Mongolia again someday! P

I'm not sure. But we will be free from danger because of robots. P

However, not many people know that Bukchon was created through one man's efforts. P

That man was Jeong Segwon, known as the King of Architecture in Gyeongseong. P

Jeong Segwon was a businessman who founded Geonyangsa in 1920. P

At that time, Korea was ruled by Japan, and the Japanese were changing Gyeongseong to fit their taste. P

Many Japanese moving into Gyeongseong were building Japanese or Western houses. P

Jeong Segwon wanted to protect the hanok and help the suffering people. P

He said, "People are power. P

We Joseon people should keep Jongno and not let the Japanese set foot here." P

He bought the land between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung. P

There he built small, modern hanoks for the people. P

Through his efforts, we now have Bukchon filled with its beautiful hanoks. P

Jeong Segwon helped the independence movement in many ways. P

For example, he built the office building for the Joseon Language Society and supported its efforts to keep the Joseon language alive. P

When the Joseon Language Affair happened, he was caught by the police and suffered a lot. P

Japanese officials pressed him to build Japanese houses. P

He said, "I don't know how to build Japanese houses." P

An official said, "You know how to build hanoks, so you can build Japanese houses, too." P

But he did not do what the Japanese told him to do. P

The cost was high. P

His business fell off, and he lost his property. P

However, in part, thanks to Jeong Segwon, the traditions of Korea still live with us today. P

He lived during the Joseon Dynasty, and his job was catching fish. P

When he was fishing, he saw the Japanese people fishing near Ulleungdo. P

He visited Japan twice and said that Ulleungdo and Dokdo were part of Korea. P

In 1696, the Japanese ruler officially told the Japanese people not to fish near Ulleungdo and Dokdo. P

He did his best to protect Ulleungdo and Dokdo. P

Okay. What about at 2:00 on Saturday? P

We're going to Hangang this weekend. Do you remember? P

Of course. Don't forget to bring your camera. P

Okay, I won't. I'll bring some snacks, too. P

You look healthy. What's your secret? P

Thanks. Well, I go swimming every day. You should go with me sometime. P

That sounds like fun. Any other things I should do? P

Don't forget to eat many kinds of fruits and vegetables, too. P

9-3 Real-Life Zone

What are you listening to? P

Classical music. I'm going to a concert tomorrow and I'd like to know about the music before I go. P

I guess it's more enjoyable if you know the music. P

Actually, I don't want to clap at the wrong time. P

Don't you just clap when the music stops? P

No. In classical music, one piece of music may have several pauses. P

You should wait and clap at the very end. P

I see. Make sure you don't forget to clap at the real ending. P

By the way, can you make it to our soccer practice tomorrow at 4? P

Sure. I'll come to the practice after the concert finishes. P

Okay. See you then. P

Imagine yourself at a classical music concert. P

The orchestra starts to play one of Mozart's piano concertos. P

The concert hall is dark and silent. P

Nobody makes a sound. Everybody looks serious. P

The audiences only clap after the concerto finishes. P

This is a familiar scene at concerts today. P

Let's go back in time and take a look at one of Mozart's concerts in the 18th century. P

You are in a bright hall inside a nobleman's house. P

Mozart is playing the piano. P

Surprisingly, however, the audiences are eating, drinking, and talking freely. P

They whistle and clap at any time. P

You are shocked by their bad manners, but Mozart himself would be surprised by today's quiet audiences. P

Concerts in Mozart's time were mostly social events. P

They were good places to meet people. P

Noise was just part of the concert. P

Today's quiet concerts began in the 19th century when many big concert halls were built. P

More people, not just noblemen, went to concerts. P

Artists were no longer dependent on noblemen for money. P

The artists had more power over their works and started to use their increased power. P

For example, Wagner blamed the audience for making noise. P

After some time, a no clapping-between-movements rule appeared. P

As a result, here we are today, very quiet and serious. P

We do not know what concerts will look like in the future because manners change with time. P

For now, however, if you want to enjoy classical music concerts, just remember this: P

Enjoy the music, but do not disturb those around you. P

9-6 Wrap Up

Have you heard about the Christmas concert at the city hall? P

I heard that a famous opera singer will be on the stage. P

Oh, then why don't we go on Christmas Day? Can you make it? P

Sure. Do you know what time the concert starts? P

It starts at 5:30. Let's meet at the bus stop at 4. P

Good. Don't forget to dress up. P

Charlotte's Web is a story of friendship between Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider. P

They lived on Mr. and Mrs. Allen's farm with Old Sheep, Duck, and Rat. P

One day, Mr. and Mrs. Allen were talking outside the barn. P

Wilbur looks very good. P

He'll make good bacon for Christmas. P

They are fattening Wilbur up for Christmas! P

No! I'm too young to die! P

You won't, Wilbur. I'll save you. P

I don't know yet, but remember? P

You saved me when Mr. Allen tried to clean my web off. P

Now it's my turn to save you. P

How can I save Wilbur?I have an idea! P

That night, Charlotte started to weave something above Wilbur's pen. P

She worked hard all night without sleeping. P

The next morning, Mr. and Mrs. Allen came to feed Wilbur. P

Look! There are words in the web. "Some Pig"! P

Soon, a large crowd came to see Wilbur. P

As time passed, only a few people came. Charlotte called a meeting. P

As we saw, human attention does not last long. P

If nobody cares for Wilbur, he will be dead before Christmas. P

We must write another word soon. P

I have an idea! How about "Terrific"? P

Again, Charlotte worked hard all night. Two days later, a bigger crowd came. P

This also will be forgotten soon. We have to prepare the next word right away. P

Uh, oh. I have run out of ideas. P

What's all the excitement? P

Why don't you help us? Will you bring some ads from the dump? P

We're trying to find new words. P

We're trying to save Wilbur's life. P

Okay, if Wilbur shares his meal with me. P

With Rat's help, they finally chose "Shining." P

The biggest ever crowd came. P

You know what? I won't make bacon out of Wilbur. P

I'll enter him in the fair! P

Great idea! Our famous Wilbur will get a prize! P

Did you hear that? I'm going to the fair! P
