Twenty year ago, mobile phones were rather expensive. Only important or rich people had them. However, these days more people have them in their hands, even high school students.
It is true that mobile phones can be very useful. They are an easy way to keep in touch with friends and family members anywhere and at any time. But we also hear mobile phone ringing in places like classrooms, cinemas and museums. The sound is very loud and can disturb people. Some drivers have accidents because they use their mobile phones while driving. So, are mobile phones really a good thing

Swimming is very popular in summer. People like swimming in summer because water cools them down. But if you swim in the wrong place, it may be dangerous. In the past few years many swimmers have died in the water. However, some people are still not careful enough when swimming. They often think they swim so well that nothing can happen to them. Summer is coming soon. If you go swimming, remember these two rules: don’t get into the water when you are alone and don’t get into the water if there is a “No swimming” sign. If you remember these rules, swimming will be safer.

Our environment is changing for the worse, so it is time for us to go green. Here are some simple steps to take at home.
We can save water by taking shorter showers and turning off the tap when we brush our teeth. In order to save power, we should turn off the lights when we leave a room.
Some other good habits can help reduce pollution too. We should not use plastic bags when shopping. Recycling is also a good way to help reduce pollution. We should separate waste into different groups so that it can be recycled.
Follow these small steps, and you can make a big difference to the Earth!

We are going to hold a talk on good table manners this afternoon. The purpose is to teach students rules for eating.
There will be a lot of advice on table manners. Above all, when you are sitting at the table, you should not start eating until everyone is ready, and it is impolite to make too much noise while you are eating or drinking. You should not eat with your mouth open or talk with food in your mouth. Before you leave the table, wait for everyone to finish.
These rules are important because we should make sure that both guests and hosts are comfortable at the table.

I love reading. I spend over seven hours a week reading different types of books. On weekdays, I usually read for about half an hour before going to bed. I read a lot at the weekend. I am interested in history book, but I like novels best. The four great classical Chinese novels are my favorite.
I get most of my books from Sunshine Library — it is just opposite my home. My friends give me lots of advice on books. We often meet together and discuss what to read.
Reading is always a wonderful time. Good books are good friends. They also open up a whole new world to me.

UNICEF was set up in 1946 to help children after the war in Europe. Now, UNICEF helps children all over the world. It works in 158 countries. It helps governments and families make the world a better place for children.
UNICEF gets its money from donation. It raises money by selling Christmas cards and organizing other fund-raising activities. People can help UNICEF by doing voluntary work.
UNICEF believes that all children should have clean water and food so that they can be healthy. It also believes that they should go to school instead of working to support their families.

Today we spent the whole day at Disneyland. We got to the park by underground.
First, we had fun at Space Mountain — an indoor roller coaster in the dark. It moved at high speed and was really exciting! We were screaming and laughing through the ride.
Next, we hurried to a restaurant to have a simple meal. On the way, we met some Disney cartoon characters, such as Snow White and Mickey Mouse. They were so cute.
Everybody got excited when a parade of Disney characters began later in the afternoon. It was the best part of the day. I ran after them and couldn’t stop taking photos. After the parade, we watched a 3-D film. It was like magic. We could even smell the apple pie and feel the wind.
We had a fantastic time here.

New York is the biggest city in the USA. Wall Street, the world-famous trade centre, is at the southern end of Manhattan Island. There are many big companies and international banks here. Further on is Times Square. Every year, thousands of people gather here on New Year’s Eve. It’s exciting to see the huge ball falling through the darkness. In the centre of the island is Central Park. With several lakes, hills and a large green lawn, it’s good place to relax after a hard day’s work. When you visit New York, don’t miss Broadway. It has been famous for its theatres since the early twentieth century. I hope you can enjoy your trip in New York.

New York, London, Paris and many other cities are exciting places to live. There are lots of interesting things to see and do.
But there are serious problems in big cities too. It is expensive to live there, and there are too many people. Every year many people move to the cities to find work, study at good schools and receive high-quality medical care. But sometimes these people can't find work or good places to live. Also it is hard to keep big cities safe and clean.
So, before people move to a big city, they should think about these problems they might have to deal with there.

Everybody thinks I have a real gift for painting. However, I once did not like art lessons because I could not draw very well. One day, I was playing with some paint as usual in Ms Lou's art lesson. I mixed the paint with water. As I took the brush away, I dropped some paint onto the paper. Looking at the mark, I decided to blow it. The paint began to run, so I blew harder. The paint ran in all directions and made a very interesting picture! "That's a very good picture, Sandy." Ms Luo encouraged me to keep trying. Since then, I have been crazy about crayons and paints.

Dear Sandy,
I have just listened to a programme on the radio. It was about a new CD-ROM pack called "Daily English". It is a new course from Australia. The pack includes a book and five CD-ROMs. It is very good for tourists and students. I'm sure we can learn a lot from it. We can learn about how to use the telephone and how to ask and answer questions. We can also learn to talk about the weather and the time. The course covers many topics, such as travel and hotels, food and drink, and shopping and money.
I am going to order a pack online. Do you want me to order one for you too
Regards,
Millie

Many young people are now giving up their spare time to become volunteers. It is a very meaningful activity because volunteering helps and gives support to different groups in society.
Young people can choose to volunteer in many different charities and projects. For example, I do voluntary work for two charities: the first one gives help and support to homeless people, and the second one takes care of the disabled people.
Another choice is to take part in special projects or events to raise money for charity. Some people take part in charity walks, or they donate money to charities. You can even organize one of these events yourself.

Recently we did a survey in our class in order to learn about students’ ideal jobs. Here's a report about my group members’ ideas.
Mary wants to be a teacher when she grows up. She is very patient and enjoys working with children. Now, she is interested in all the subjects and works very hard. Mike would like to be a writer. He is willing to share his wonderful stories with others. Now he keeps reading and writing every day. I want to be dancer because I like dancing very much. I practice dancing every day. Hopefully, everyone can realize their dreams in the future

Today Daniel and I took an online tour on the website "Around the World in Eight Hours".
Sydney is on the south-east coast of Australia. It is the largest city In Australia. On the website, we saw lots of pictures of Sydney. Sydney is near the sea. There are many beautiful beaches there. We also saw a wonderful building called the Sydney Opera House. It is a theatre and looks like a ship with many sails. Near the Sydney Opera House is the famous Harbour Bridge. People can climb it. It takes about three hours. It is really cool!

Pollution is one of the biggest problems in the world today. In many places, rubbish is thrown into lakes and rivers, so many of them are polluted. In some cities, the air is filled with pollution.
Switzerland is still beautiful with high mountains and clean blue lakes. In Switzerland, things like glass, plastic and paper are separated into different groups and then recycled. Even old clothes and shoes can be recycled. The government has many laws to protect the environment. For example, people are not allowed to cut down trees. Otherwise, they be punished. Remember that everyone can do something to make a difference.
