Children across the world are taking pictures of their school meals. They are sending these pictures over the Internet to a young girl in Scotland. Then she shares the pictures and stories with people around the world.
The girl's name is Martha. She likes to write. So Martha decided to start her own blog. Every day, Martha writes on the Internet about the meals she eats at school. She also takes pictures of the food.
Martha is very honest about the food. She does not just describe the food. She judges (评价) the taste of the food. She also judges how healthy the food is. Sometimes she likes the food, and sometimes she does not. Now, other people send pictures to Martha. Students around the world share their pictures of their school food!
Martha also started her blog for another important reason. She began to raise money for the organization (组织) Mary's Meals. Mary's Meals works in the East African country of Malawi . It provides food for children in schools. Martha encourages her readers to send money to Mary's Meals to help build a kitchen.
Martha hoped to raise about 10,000 dollars. But the total reached 100,000 dollars and still keeps on growing!
Martha's blog has also helped to improve meals at her school. Martha and her school friends found their meals improved since she started writing her blog.
No one knows what will happen to Martha's blog in future. But already this girl has helped to change the eating experience of many children just by sharing pictures of her school meals.

Living
Some students prefer to live alone, while others may want to share their rooms with their roommates. The way I like is…
Most parents send Care packages(包裹)and gifts to their Children when they're away at university. Terri Cox, from Leonardtown, Maryland, isn't one of those 1.
A few weeks ago, Terri sent her son 18-year-old Connor, who's now 2 at Westminster College in Pennsylvania, a package. 3 Connor first got the package, he thought it was a usual gift filled with necessities(必需品).
"I was 4 because it's like Christmas when you get gifts from 5 especially when you're in College," he said. But as Connor 6 the package, he found the things inside were quite different from what he had 7 It wasn't a gift or a Care package. It was something he'd 8 while at home for the Christmas Break- his rubbish.
The box was filled with trash(垃圾)-everything he was too 9 to take out when his mother had asked him to over Christmas.
In fact, Connor didn't do all of his 10 at home at all. So Mom Terri got the idea to post his rubbish to him to 11 him. Connor didn't understand 12 his mom did this to him until he gave her a Call." 13 isn't usually strict, and I didn't see this as a Big punishment(惩罚). It was more of a(n)14 reminder(提醒)that I have duties(职责). And we have a good laugh on the phone," he said.
Connor later said that the rubbish he had 15 in the Box was only a part of what he was asked to take out. Where was the rest? They were hidden in his Bedroom drawers(抽屉).
Thinking what happens to rubbish if left for a long time, let's hope Terri find the rest fast.
Once upon a time, there was a little candle standing with other candles in a room. Most of other candles were much (beautiful) than her. Some were white, blue, pink, and some were green. She had no (idea) why she was there, and the other candles there made her feel rather small.
When the sun went down and the room began to get dark, she saw a man (walk) to her with a box of matches. She suddenly realized that the man was going to set her on fire. "No, no!" she cried," Don't burn me, please!" But she knew that she couldn't (hear), so she became the first candle was burnt.
Then to her surprise, the room was filled light. She wondered it came from, because the man had extinguished(熄灭) his fire stick. Then she realized that the light came from (she). It made her very happy.
Then the man struck another match and, one by one, he lighted the other candles in the room. Each one gave out the same light.
Over the next few (hour), the little candle noticed that her wax(蜡) was beginning to flow slowly.
She knew that she would soon die, and suddenly why she had been created. "My purpose on the earth is to give out light until I die," she said. And that's (exact) what she did.
In many British schools, the pupils usually wear their school uniforms to school on weekdays. However, recently the students at LVS Ascot Junior School in England wore something quite different. What they wore was what people wear when they go to bedpyjamas(睡衣). They did this not only for fun, but for a local charity called Christopher's Smile.
Christopher's Smile was set up in 2008 by Karen & Kevin Capel whose only son Christopher died of cancer at a young age. They hope their charity will help pay for more research into children's cancers. Since then, the charity has raised a lot of money and gotten more and more volunteers. Every year, thousands of people take part in different activities such as charity walk or run to show their support for Christopher's Smile.
The students of Grade 6 at LVS Ascot Junior School also wanted to do something for the sick children. They organized the event "Pyjama Day" to support Christopher's Smile. "We wanted to raise money for our charity in a way that the whole school could join in it, so each pupil paid £1 to wear his or her pyjamas to school on Pyjama Day," said the young organizers. Both the students and their teachers took part in the event with great interest. Together they not only raised some money, but also had a good time.
Living and dealing with kids can be a hard job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even harder. Since I was a (十几岁的；青少年的) boy, I have learned that communication is very important, (两个都) when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other people know your feelings. If you are not (能够) to communicate, things will become bad. When you are mad at your parents, not talking to them doesn't make any sense. If you look up the word "communication" in a dictionary, it will say "the exchange of ideas and (信息)." To keep a good relationship, you must keep the communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it's just by writing a (笔记). You have to make your parents feel good about how they are doing as parents. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you'll listen to what they say, but ask them (礼貌地) to listen to you. Walking away only makes the situation (更糟的).
This is an example. One night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she felt it would be rude of her to ask to go home first. As a (结果), she was late getting home. Her parents were angry at first, but when Sophie (解释) why she was late, they weren't so mad. Communication is the key factor here.
Problems can only be (解决) with communication. Just remember, if you get into a situation like Sophie's, tell your parents how you feel.
The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest (wonder) of the world. In 1987, it (list) as a world cultural heritage（世界文化遗迹）by UNESCO. The Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, and mountains, covering about 6,700 kilometers the east to the west of China.
In ancient China, many people built walls around their countries (protect) their land. Later, Qinshihuang, the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, had the walls joined up. project cost much money and thousands of people lost (they) lives because of hard work. On top of it, it is wide enough for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers (use) to keep watch. Now it is one of the (famous) places around the world. More and more tourists have come to know the famous Chinese saying — "He does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man." People still wonder the ancient Chinese people built the wall without modern machines.
