New Practical English 1 Unit 1 Reading of the passage Hello, I'm Mike Adams. I'm an English teacher. Do you want to know something about me? I was born in England. Then my family moved to America when I was 10. I'm tall, and I have a gentle face. My hair is dark brown but there is not too much hair left on the top of my head. I used to be a sportsman with a strong body, but now my muscles have become soft, and my stomach is getting a little larger each year. I try to be kind to other people, but sometimes I'm very stubborn and never change my mind. I want to be an honest person. I'm very organized in both work and life. When I go on holiday, I carefully make a list of things to take, and I pack my bags two or three days before I leave. I like to have everything under control, and I don't want any last-minute panic.

New Practical English 1 Unit 1 Now I'm teaching in a university in China. I love this country and my students, and I also want my students to love me. So I work hard, and I like to look neat and tidy. I always wear a jacket and tie. Of course, I become a different person at home. I change into old but comfortable clothes. My work keeps me busy until quite late at night. But I usually find time to sit and talk with my wife and children. Even though I enjoy working very hard each day at the university, I still feel that my family is more important than anything else. Reading of the passage
