He is best known for his book Gulliver's Travels, which is a fun and exciting story about a man named Lemuel Gulliver who travels to many strange lands, like Lilliput—the land of tiny people. Swift was a master of satire, which means he used funny and clever stories to make people think about the problems in society. His writing is still popular today because it is both entertaining and full of meaning. When you read Gulliver's Travels, you'll meet tiny people, giants, and other amazing creatures. But behind the adventure, Swift was also making jokes about the silly things people do in real life! Read and learn Suppose the same thing happened to you. What would you do? How would you feel in this situation: surprised, scared or curious? Give your reasons. I would try my best to break free, climb to the mountain in the distance and hide in the forest to avoid being seen. I would have very mixed feelings—a combination of surprise, fear and curiosity. When I first see the Lilliputians, I would be surprised by their tiny size and their well-organized society. However, I would also feel scared because I can sense potential danger. At the same time, I would be curious about their culture and way of life. P53 D Mr Wu asked the students to write what they thought would happen to Gulliver next.

I fell off the bike many times in the beginning and even hurt my knee. I thought I would never be able to ride it, and I almost wanted to stop trying. But my dad told me to be patient and keep practicing. At first, he ran beside me to hold the bike, and then he gradually let go as I felt more confident. Every day after school, I practiced riding for 20 minutes. After two weeks, I could ride the bike all by myself! It was such a happy moment. I learned that overcoming a challenge just needs a little courage and lots of practice.
