“centre” of the family and they are rude to their parents. So it’s really necessary for them to learn to respect their parents.

Firstly, remember your parents’ birthday and express（表达） your best wishes to them. Secondly, say “Hello” to your parents when you see them coming back home. Thirdly, tell your parents when you go when you leave home.

In a word, respecting our parents is what we should do as their children. We should respect our parents through our lives. 15、I got it（我成功了）

When we face the difficulty, what we should do is the most important. If we give up, everything stops. But if we hold on, everything is possible. Here is a story about me. When I began to learn English, I was not good at it. When I spoke English, my classmates laughed at me. But I never gave up trying hard. I just kept on reading and speaking. As time went by, fewer and fewer classmates laughed at me. Some of them even came to ask me for help. At that time, I knew I would be one of the best students one day. And now, it comes true. I won the first prize in the English speech competition in our city last weekend.

From the thing, I learnt no matter what happens（不管发生什么）, we must hold on. And then we can have the chance to succeed. 16、Let’s save our environment

Today, the environment is getting worse and worse. So everyone should do something to protect the environment.

First, we should save every drop of water（节约每滴水）. We can water the plants and clean the restrooms with the used water（废水）. Second, we should save energy（节约能源）, turn off the lights when we leave, take your own bags while shopping, recycle used paper（回收废纸）, do more walking and bike riding and so on. Third, we should ask our government to control the pollution from the factories（要求政府控制工厂的排污）. What’s more, we should plant more trees to make our earth greener.

It’s our duty to try our best to protect the environment. Ok ,let’s do it from now on. 17、Lower carbon（低碳生活） happier life

The earth is our own home, so it’s our duty to save the environment. I will go to school by bike or on foot instead of taking the bus on June 5th. And I will also ask my parents to ride bikes to walk that day. At home, we will use energy-saving lamps and spend less time when we take a shower. Don’t throw away the used textbooks and leave them to the

5

students of the lower grades（低年级学生）. At the same time, I will tell my parents to take the bags when we are shopping. Also, I will turn off the lights before leaving a room. Lower carbon, happier life. Let’s take action now. 18、Saving water

As we know, water is important to us all. People can’t live without water. Plants and animals will die if there is no water in the world.

But there are still some people wasting water. For example, some students often forget to turn off the taps（水龙头）; some people take showers for a long time.

Then what should we do to save water? First, we should turn off the taps after we used it. Second, we’d better recycle and reuse water（回收和重复使用水）. Third, we should take a shorter shower and turn off the taps in time.

Water is really important to us. Let’s save water from now on. 19、How to relax ourselves after the exam

It’s necessary to relax ourselves after the exam. There are many kinds of activities for us to take part in.

First of all, we can travel to get close to the nature（走近自然）, and this can make our mind clear and bring us more wonderful lives. We can also go to the movies or listen to music. What’s more, we can join a sports club to keep us healthy. For example, playing football or basketball in the afternoon may relax ourselves. I hope all of us can have a great time. 20、How to be an excellent student

I am going to be a senior high school student next term. And I’ll try to be an excellent student.

First, I should go to school on time and don’t play on the way home. Second, I will develop good studying habits（培养良好的学习习惯）. I will listen to the teachers carefully, and go over（复习） what I have learned every day. At the same time, I will relax myself. Third, I am going to talk with others, learn to share things with others and help each other. When I’m at home, I will do housework for parents, such as doing the dishes and do some cleaning. I will protect the environment and do some volunteer work. I believe I will be an excellent student.

21、Advantages and disadvantages of the Internet

Internet is now becoming a part of our lives. It brings us not only lots of convenience(便利), happiness but also problems. Some students use Internet as a tool（工具） to study.

6

They can almost find everything they want to know on the Internet. They can also read news or send e-mails through it. Internet helps them learn more and study well.

On the other hand, some students play games, chat with friends, shop, see the pictures or films even the unhealthy ones on the Internet the whole day. They are not interested in their subjects. It’s very dangerous for them.

I think we should make good use of（充分利用）the Internet and stay away from the unhealthy websites（网址）.

22、It’s important to study geography at school

Geography is one of the subjects in middle school. In my opinion, geography is very important for us in our lives. There are two following reasons:

Firstly, geography is good for our travel. Every year, we may go out for our holiday. If we have the knowledge of geography, we can go anywhere even though we don’t know the way. We may also take a map with us. But if we didn’t learn geography, we may not understand the map well. Secondly, geography is also important for our buildings. Having the knowledge of geography, we can know where we build the houses well. So, I’d like to say it’s very important to study geography at school. 23、Whether or not to use mobile phones at school

Recently, we had a discussion about whether the students should use mobile phones at school or not. Some of us think mobile phones should be used at school. First, we can surf the Internet for information that we need. Second, we can play games in our free time with them. Finally, we can call our parents easily.

However, some other students don’t think so. On the one hand, some students send messages on mobile phones in class or cheat in exams（考试作弊）. On the other hand, keeping mobile phones costs money.

In my opinion, it’s not a good idea to use mobile phones at school because it doesn’t help improve our grades at all. 24、My shopping habits

I’ m a middle school student from Chengdong. I’m busy with my homework on weekdays, so I often go shopping at weekends. I often do some shopping with my mother, sometimes with my close friends. I usually buy some junk food. Sometimes I buy some clothes with the help of my mother. When I want to buy something expensive, I usually ask my parents for some money. But if they don’t agree to give me so much money, I will save my pocket money to buy it. I usually go shopping in the big shopping centers. However,

online shopping is becoming more and more popular among us teenagers. But I hardly buy things online because I don’t think it’s safe enough. 25、The earthquake in Ya’an

A great earthquake with the degree of seven happened in Ya’an on the early morning of April 20th. The earthquake made lots of houses, roads and bridges fall down. Some of the people couldn’t see their families any longer.

However, it was not necessary to be so sad. With the help of our government and all the Chinese who care for the people in the earthquake, everything got better. They gave away money and many other things to Ya’an. They tried their best to solve all the troubles and took good care of Ya’an people.

I think that nothing can’t be defeated where love exists.（有爱的地方什么都不可能被打败）
