PE class is usually about running and all kinds of ball games. But students in Inner Mongolia autonomous region (自治区) get something new – equestrian lessons – or how to ride a horse.
This term, more than 2,000 students aged 11 to 17 in Hohhot are taking equestrian lessons in their PE classes. They finished the first stage of learning in the first two months. The local (当地的) equestrian association(协会) gave them the horse-riding lessons.
On Oct 10, more than 30 eighth-graders from Hohhot Mongolian School took their first class. They learned how to get on, get off and get along with horses.

But after learning that horses are docile (温顺的), she tried to pet a horse. “The horse stayed there quietly. It didn’t hurt me. I felt close to it,” Liu said.She also learned s ome rules to treat horses, like not beating or shouting at them.
The students are glad to master the traditional skill. Hu He, 13, always wanted to learn horse riding. But because he lives in the city and is busy with study, he hasn’t got any chance.“People often asked me if I could ride a horse,” Hu said. “Now I can proudly(骄傲) say ‘yes’.”
The equestrian class will reopen in March of 2018. The plan is to have 10,000 students take part, according to the local equestrian association.

七、任务型阅读
Good morning, boys and girl. Today I’ll give a talk about going online.
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable（令人愉快的）. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we can send e-mails to our friends，they can get them at once. It can help us communicate(交流)with people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time playing computer games and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon . You can play basket ball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
