1. How to make friends (怎樣交友) It』s hard to make friends if you stay alone all the time. It』s easier to make friends when you have similar interests. Don』r be afraid to show people what you are really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best. Look at people in the eyes when you talk to them. Be a good listner. Let people talk about themselves before talking about yourself. Be friendly to a lot of people. Try to help your friends when they are in trouble because a friend in need is a friend indeed. That way you』ll have a bigger group to choose from and have more chances to make friends. 2.My view on television Television has come into our life for many years. We can』t live happily without television. Jt can give us the latest information and news. It can open up our eyes and enlarge our knowledge. We can get happiness from the plays on television. We』ll be boring all day if there is no television. Television programs are attractive. After a whole day』s hard worlk we can sit before the television and drink a cup of tea. How wonderful it is! Television is also bad for people』s health. It』s bad for you to watch TV too long, especially bad for your eyes. It is true that watching TV can influence our behavior. However, it depends on what we do. 3.My view on school uniform 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 should feel more comfortable and thate is good for studying. If we can』t do that, we should be allowed to design our own uniforms. We also think everyone should be different from others. That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students happy. 4.My opinions on volunteering We are middle school students and we are busy with our lessons. So some people think we should concentrate more on our studies. If we volunteer to help others, it』s a waste of time. But I think volunteering is great. I not only feel good about helping others but also get to spend time doing what I love to do. And from volunteering I have learned many things that I have never learned in class. So if I have an oppoutunity, I』d like to visit old people』s home to clean up for them. I』d also like to help sick kids in hospital. I love kids and I plan to put my love to good use by working in hospital. In a word, I』d like to help people who need help. If everyone helps out a bit, the world will be more colorful. 5.Small kinds Human beings are advanced animals in the world. Some animals are very kind. For example , if you are kind to a dog , it will shake. It will tail to you. So if you are kind to others, they will also be kind to you. You have lots of chances to give your small kindness if you see a disabled person working in the street. You can help him to cross the street. If you meet a stranger, you can show him the way. If he or she asks you questions, you should be kind to answer them. That is you give small kindness to others. Maybe it seems to you a piece of cake, but it is very important to people in need. If you do this, the others will do it to you. Be kind to others, and they will be kind to you. 6.My opinion on Internet Hello, everyone! As you know, many students like to work on the Internet. Of course, it can bring us many good things. We can learn more knowledge outside our books, practice our spoken English with someone else and look up some useful information. At the same time, it can bring us some bad things as well. Some students have made too many friends, seen some bad information that is not good for us and spent too much time on it. We should know what to do and what not to do. That』s my idea. Thank you for listening! 7.Internet shopping Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. It offers a lot of advantages. The most important one is convenience. You can shop whenever you like because the online shops are open 24 hours a day. And you don』t have to queue with others. And it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet and it is also easy to find what you are looking for. There are some disadvantages, too. You can not see the procts or check their qualities. Besides you can not enjoy walking around the shops and talking with your friends. 8. 暑期難忘的一件事(An unforgettable thing ring Summer vacation) It was a sunny day today,when i got up in the morning,i decided to see my grandparents.so i took the bus and got there at noon,they were happy to see me,and i was very happy,too.

忙碌了一天的我,拖著疲勞的身體靜靜的坐在陽台上發呆,傍晚悄悄來臨,晚風緩緩的吹過,留下了絲絲的涼意.但也不能將太陽炙烤得發燙的陽台裹涼.天黑了,鳥兒也愈來愈少,天空中留下了一串鳥的殘鳴。
工作了一天的太陽也脫下了工作服,不再是那樣刺眼。換上新裝的太陽也變的溫柔闊雅,楚楚動人。說實話太陽可真會挑顏色。你看她穿的衣服多漂亮,紅的是火焰那一層一層中最美的顏色。枯黃的是樹上剛摘下來熟透的桔子那桔黃。在這樣美麗的顏色襯托下拱出了一張恬靜的臉蛋。她好像被別人監視著一樣,悄悄的挪移著步伐,顯得那般輕盈。
這時不知道是誰在搞惡作劇,在她那高貴而又華麗的衣裳上撒上了墨汁使她的衣服變得斑斑點點,彷彿在泥坑裡摔了一跤。此時她好像一個小姑娘害羞一樣,臉紅得象熟透的柿子。也許她覺得難堪於是便用白紗遮掩住了一半臉。過了好久,也許是她覺得這樣做也無濟於事便怯怯地出來顯得那般羞澀。於是她便想三十六計——走為上策,溜!顯然它的速度顯得比剛才快多了,之後她那泛著微紅臉龐消逝在山頭。天空則顯得空盪盪的。再放眼一望天際又出現了她的身影,哎!怎麼跟先前的夕陽判若兩人,再湊近一看,原來是銀光閃閃的月亮。
天黑了,四周則顯得那樣靜悄悄。

The Story of American Thanksgiving(Contributed by Bing Wei, Granny Betty's Story Time )
每逢11月第四個星期四,美國人迎來了自己最重要的傳統節日感恩節。感恩節,原是清教徒為感謝上天賜與的好收成,同時,也表達了新英格蘭「移民」對印第安土著居民最初的謝意。如今,這一傳統節日更多意味著合家團聚。下文以歷史為脈絡,探究了感恩節的淵源,並把目光鎖定在1621年翔實的感恩「盛宴」上。閱讀完文字,別忘點擊附帶的小測試。
Thanksgiving Day is an American holiday and not celebrated in continental Europe. On the fourth Thursday of each November, families and friends gather together for the occasion to celebrate with a traditional turkey dinner, usually in the mid-afternoon. Thanksgiving originated as a celebration of the year's harvest and is similar to the Mid-Autumn Festival in China.
The origin of the Thanksgiving Day This American tradition started in 1621 before the United States of America was established. It was a huge celebration for a hard-earned harvest the first year after arriving in the New World.
On September 6, 1620, the Mayflower ship set sail from Plymouth, Devon, England, taking all the English Pilgrims (清教徒)to the New World. The English Pilgrims numbered about a hundred people, and left England to escape religious persecution. Their voyage to the New World was financed by Merchant Adventurers, an English investor group.
The Pilgrims sailed sixty-six days, arrived in the New World in November of the same year. They first settled in a cornfield abandoned by Native Indians and named it Plymouth Plantation.
They worked on the land with much difficulty and were beset by a devastating plague in which half of the Pilgrim died in the long winter of 1620. In the spring of 1621, an Indian brave named Squanto and her Wampanoag (瓦帕濃人,北美印第安人阿爾琴族一部落)tribe came to their help. The tribe taught the Pilgrims how to work the earth and plant corn, beans, pumpkins, squash and other crops.
The Thanksgiving feast in 1621In late September 1621, the Pilgrims were pleased with their great harvest. To celebrate their first harvest, the Pilgrims wanted to thank God and the Native Indian. They invited Squanto and the entire Wampanoag tribe that celebrate together in a shared feast. It was said about ninety Wampanoag turned up, much to the surprise of the Pilgrims, whose population had shrunk to no more than 50. The chief of the tribe had his men hunt five deer to bring to the feast. The first Thanksgiving dinner had an elaborate menu with venison, wild turkey, goose, ck, crane, swan, and other waterfowl; they also has local seafood: clams, lobsters, mussels, salmon, cod, bass, herring, shad, bluefish, lots of eel and oysters.
