When the first Ice Age film came out in 2002, a group of cute animals became well-known in the world. Now Time For Kids (TFK) talks with actress and singer Keke Palmer. Keke Palmer voices (给……配音) a mammoth called Peaches in Ice Age: Collision Course, the fifth Ice Age film.
(T=TFK, P=Palmer)
T: 1.1.
P: In this Ice Age, Peaches is getting ready to get married (结婚). But her dad can’t accept the fact that she will leave him. So Peaches tries to make her dad believe that change is coming and he has to accept this new form of their relationship.
T:2.2.
P: To tell the truth, I have a lot in common with her. She’s very close with her mom, and I’m close with my mom. And like her, I also try my best to be independent.
T: 3.3.
P: Fun but educational. You know, Ice Age has always been so popular because it conveys (传递) deep messages but still finds a way to keep it fun for kids.
T: 4.4.
P: I think kids will see that change is a good thing — it’s the opening of new doors in their life.

Colin Boyle was born in 1973 near Dublin, Ireland. While he was ill in hospital at age 10, his uncle gave him an old violin. He loved it right away. After he left the hospital, he practiced at his school every day after class.
One day in 1987, John Leaf, the manager (经纪人) of several successful musicians, came to Colin’s school. He was having a meeting with the headmaster when he heard Colin practicing.

Dear Miss Hooper,
I’m writing to thank you for your help this year. There were lots of subjects (主题) in class, but you made sure that I could understand every one. To tell the truth, you’re the best teacher I’ve met. You explain things so clearly, and are also so kind. I really enjoyed every minute of your class.
There were so many best parts this year. Whatever the subject, you made it fun and interesting to everyone. All of your students found learning new things so easy because of you. I really believe you have a great teaching skill. You should be very proud (自豪的) of the way that you help children learn. It is because of you that I’ve decided to become a teacher when I grow up.
I have mixed feelings about school next year. I’m sad that you won’t be my teacher anymore. However, I’m happy that other children will get to share your knowledge (学问). I’m sure that they’ll thank you for your good work.
I didn’t enjoy school much before this year. I was new to the school this year. At my old school, I found learning quite difficult. The last nine months have changed all of that. I’m now confident (自信的) and looking forward to the next school year.
Thank you once again for all of your help. You are really a great teacher and you’ve helped me greatly. I hope that we can share the same classroom again one day.
Yours,
Jacob Maclean
