The other day,my friends and I talked about the rules that we have in school.At our school,we have to wear uniforms every day.The problem is that all my classmates think the uniforms are ugly.We think young people should look smart and so we would like to wear our own clothes.Our teachers believe that if we did that,we would concentrate more on our clothes than our studies.We disagree.We would feel more comfortable and that is good for studyin9.If we can't do that,we should be allowed to design our own uniforms.That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students happy.
It's also probably a good idea for parents to allow teenagers to study in groups during the evening.I know we get noisy sometimes,but we learn a lot from each other.We also think that vacations should be longer.At present they're too short.Longer vacations would give US time to do things like volunteering.Last summer I had an opportunity to volunteer at the local hospital,but I couldn't because I had to go back to school.It would be a good experience for me because l want to be a doctor when I grow up.
Many children think mobile phones are cool. They come in fun colors and you can talk with a friend anytime and anywhere.
In the USA, more than 90 million people use mobile phones. Many of those people are children. For children, mobile phones are more than phone calls. They are fashionable. Most mobile phone users don't think about the health problems caused by mobile phones. Some scientists say that mobile phones give off radiation(辐射) that might be bad for users. One recent study shows that mobile phone radiation might raise a person's chance of getting some kinds of cancer(癌症).Other scientists say mobile phones are not bad for people's health. They say that they didn't find any link between mobile phone use and cancer. Scientists say that they can protect themselves from mobile phone radiation. One way is to use an earphone, or people can make shorter calls.
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
This is an old English saying. Have you heard of it before? It means that we must go to bed early and get up early in the morning. Then we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich (wealthy) and clever (wise).
This is true. The body must have enough sleep to be healthy. Children of young age should have ten hours' sleep every night. Children who do not have enough sleep cannot do their work very well. They will not be wise and they may not become wealthy!
The body also needs exercise. Walking, running, jumping, swimming and playing games are all exercise. Exercise keeps the body strong. Exercise also helps the blood (血液) to move around inside the body. This is very important. Our blood takes food to all parts of our body. The head also needs blood .Exercise helps us to think better!

Do you have any hobbies? If students don't have any interests except school work, they may be bored people. And that can influence their studies.
Studying without relaxing isn't good for health. We can't get good grades if we have bad health. We should make use of our free time. We should do what we like. Some people like singing, taking, photos and drawing pictures. Others prefer collecting stamps, reading or shopping.
David is a middle school student. He has a few hobbies, but his favourite one is collecting stamps.
He likes it best because he can learn a lot from the stamps. Some people collect stamps because they can make money from the stamps. But he is just interested in collecting them and enjoys looking at them when he is free.
It is very popular to shop on the Internet. There are more and more advertisements (广告) in the Web. You have to be careful not to be tricked by the advertisements on the Internet. You may find something cheap, but it isn't always cheap. And some so-called new things just have a new outside. However, shopping online is a kind of fashionable (时髦的) thing today. I love to buy things of everyday use, so I often get lots of information about them on websites online. For example, if I want an MP3, I can choose my favourite one, and look for what the users like or don't like about it, these decide whether (是否) to buy or not. And at the same time, you don't have to go to a shop or walk around a crowded (拥挤的) shopping mall, so you don't have to spend much time. The Internet is really useful for shopping, but be careful not to spend too much.
In traditional Chinese culture, winter is a period of time to " hide " and to prepare for the new development in the coming spring. At the same time. it is a good time to study and to get more knowledge and skills to use in the New Year.
Here are three new books to enjoy and you can learn something useful at the same time. I am sure they can warm your winter.
Four Seasons, Walk Slowly Published in October, the book is a record of plants grown in North China around the year. The writer called Nian Gao is a post-80s who was born in Hainan Province. Having a strong interest in nature, she painted more than 100 most representative plants that are often left out by people. The book is a good guide for nature lovers, and an ideal reading book for spare time. |
Children's Poems As everything turns digital nowadays, even AI can write poems. Yet real poems should come from real feelings and have warmth. The newly published book is a collection of poems written by a group of Chinese children aged 3-12. It also has collected poems from famous poet Gu Cheng when he was young. From these poems, people can go back to a pure and simple world. |
Hanging Around in the Wild In this book, people are described as small as insects, however, the grass and fruits are described as large as tall buildings. They look funny, yet with a lovely air. The author Yu Shan often thinks over the relations between modern humans and architecture(建筑). He wants to describe a poetic world where people can relax and enjoy nature. The paintings in the book are also a creative use of traditional ink work. |
At school, fights sometimes happen. But how to keep away from (they)? Here's something you can do.
Be calm. Sometimes, you feel angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. But being angry can't solve problems. Neither can a fight. In fact, everyone in a fight should (punish), no matter who started it. There is no (win) in a fight.
Shout loudly. Turn towards the person is coming up behind to attack (攻击) you, put both your (hand) up in front of your body and loudly say "stop". If the person doesn't stop, ask help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.
Learn to refuse. Your friend may ask you (join) in a fight. Learn to say no. Helping him fight is not (help) at all. If you really want to give him a hand, tell him to give it up. Tell him if he gets into a fight, he may get hurt (easy). Then, try to learn why he wants a fight and help him find a right way to deal with the problem.
Like many people, I have no clear idea about heroes. At some point, we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.
Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics which give us courage and make us want to learn from them.
A hero does something worth(值得) talking about. A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of(高度评价) it. But a hero is not just the person with great power fame(声誉).
A hero has powers (力量) larger than himself. Some people want to live like a hero, and they have to experience life with new and further meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve. What do they want to live and die for? If the answer suggests(暗示) they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes.
A hero has a vision from the mountaintop. He has the power to move people. He creates new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain. Without Martin Luther King, Jr, Americans might take different buses, cat in different restaurants; go for walks in different parks, and shop in different stores because of the different colours of their skin.
There might be changes in society without a hero, but the speed of change would be rather slow. Thanks to heroes in history, they make the society develop so rapidly.
Summer holiday in America usually comes in July and A. It is the btime for many people to rest and travel.
Some people like to stay at home dtheir holiday. They can work in the garden, vtheir friends and relatives, read books or watch TV. If they live near the sea, they often go to the seaside. They can fish, swim or ethe sun there.
Many Alike meeting people from other countries. Some people have enough time and mto travel to other countries.
The United States is a large country. Many families travel by car or by train to see beautiful places in their ocountry, such as New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Not everyone likes to go to busy cities. Some families travel to the mountain or valleys. They usually tmany photos of the places they visit. It is always fun to sthem with their friends.
Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some suggestions for you to bridge the generation gap(代沟).
Don't argue with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. You can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go to someplace to cool off . Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise(和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something.You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a car. They argued over it, but finally they came to a compromise. Michael bought the car, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try.
The local government killed more than 34, 000 stray dogs(流浪狗) several months ago because they were afraid that the dogs would spread rabies (狂犬病).
This caused a discussion across the country. Some people said that it was very cruel to kill dogs. There might be a better way to avoid the disease.
In the future, killing stray dogs might be seen as a crime. The Chinese government published a draft(草案) of animal rights law. It says that a person who kills a stray dog without good reasons will be put in prison(监狱). The draft also says that people who treat animals badly will be considered crimes under the criminal law.
The government published the draft so that the public could read it and discuss their thoughts. People share different opinions. Some think the law is good. They say other countries like Britain and Japan have similar laws. They say we will do better at protecting animals if there is one. But others say it's not necessary to fight animal abuse with a new law.
Some people also say that the draft doesn't deal with the biggest matters facing the country's development. The country should make progress to give all people equal (平等的) rights, they say, before turning attention to animals. Another part of the draft is causing discussion. It says that people should not force animals into do something dangerous, like jumping through a ring of fire. But many people enjoy watching this kind of performance at the circus, especially kids. They say that if the animal does it properly, it will not get hurt.
Every year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a term, a summer or a year. Studying abroad can be an exciting experience for many people. Living in another country can help you to lean a language and about another culture. You will see the world in a new way, and learn more about yourself. The experience of studying abroad may also look good on your future resume(求职简历). Many companies today want the people who can speak a second 1language, or have experiences living or working in another country. Once you decide to study a broad, you should prepare for it. Get your passport and visa(签证)early . Before you go, learn some of the language and some common customs of the country that you are going to. Learn about the money. Bring some of it with you.

②a : in or to a foreign country

Fourteen-year-old girl Wang Lin was walking towards her home. S, a man stopped her and shouted, "Give me your money!" Wang's hands were c by the man. But in one quick movement, she took back her arms and started to shout for attention. S the man ran away without getting any of her money. Wang is a student from one school of Beijing. Her teacher Li Wei has started giving his students an unusual l: self-protection. Luckily, Wang has just learned how to e from an attacker(袭击者), a person who plans to hurt someone.
The school has t self-protection for 4 years. During this time, about 5, 000 students have learned how to protect t.
According to a new survey, students' safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50% students say they are w about robbery(抢劫)on the way to and from school. The school is not the only one to care about students' self-protection. Many other schools in China also have lessons 1 this.
Student Zhang Hui said, "I learn how to save lives and most such lessons tell students how to a dangerous situations. "Students practise what to do if they are attacked by a bad man. They have known how to save lives if someone is hurt. They also learn how to work together and build team-spirit.
Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into an argument? Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded? You are not alone. Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents.
Teenagers' physical changes may result in such family tensions. You may feel worried that you are developing at a different rate to your friends, shooting up in hight or getting left far behind. You might worry about your changing voice and weight problems. When it all gets too much, your parents are often the first goals of your anger.
It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too. You enter a strange middle ground-- no longer a small child but not quite an adult. You have both a new hope for independence and a continued need for your parents' love and support. You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own. Unluckily, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy. "Why can't they just let me go?" You may wonder. On the other hand, when you are trying to control your feelings, you wish they could be more caring and patient-- sometimes they forget that growing up is a hard ride. It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult. All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship.
_____▲_____. The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication. When you disagree with your parents, take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation from their point of view. Perhaps they have experienced something similar and do not want you to go through the same pain. After you have thought it through, explain your actions and feelings calmly, listen carefully, and address their concerns. Through this kind of healthy discussion, you will learn when to back down and when to ask your parents to relax their control.
Just remember that it is normal to fight with the stress and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship. The good news is that this stormy time will not last. Everything will turn out all right in the end, and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for adulthood.

School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything at school, teacher can't teach his students everything they want to know. His work is (show) his students how to learn. He teaches them to read and think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students.
It is always much (important) to know how to study by oneself. It is quite (easily) to learn something, but it is difficult to use it to solve problems. Great (invent) do not get everything from school, they still invent many things and change the world a lot.
How can the inventors do all of this? One of the answers is that they know how to study. fact, a lot of things are not learnt in the classroom. They get a lot of knowledge by (read) outside school. They work hard and never give up all (they)lives.
