It's very important for everyone to protect the environment. As a student, I always try my {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to save energy at home. I turn off {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  when I don't need them. And I try to save water when I wash the dishes. I don't {#blank#}3{#/blank#} bottles or newspaper away because it's better to recycle them.
I think everyday activities at home can make a difference to the environment. I feel proud of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, and I will not only keep saving energy but also advise others to do the same things as me. If everyone cares about {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the environment, I'm sure we'll have a better life.

    When I told my Mends l was going to move from the city to the countryside，they couldn't believe it．I was {#blank#}1{#/blank#}because I'd never been out of the city before．Would {#blank#}2{#/blank#}be very different? Well, see for yourself．

    However, some things in the city and the countryside are the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}．In the city, my mom and I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}to go shopping on the weekend．We went to different shopping centers．

Here in the countryside we {#blank#}8{#/blank#}shop in farmers' markets on the weekend．The greatest thing that is the same is friends．I made some good friends in both the city and the countryside．We do homework and read {#blank#}9{#/blank#} together every day．

    When I think about the most important things,  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}family and friends, maybe there aren't so many differences between the city and the countryside．Personally, I think they're both great．

    It was Mr. Hill's birthday. He was one hundred {#blank#}1{#/blank#}old and many people {#blank#}2{#/blank#}to his birthday party. A reporter came to the party and ask him a few {#blank#}3{#/blank#}."Many people want to know how you keep {#blank#}4{#/blank#}," the reporter said, "Could you {#blank#}5{#/blank#}us about  it " "That is because I{#blank#}6{#/blank#}get up at six in the morning," said Hill."And have three {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a day and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} drink alcohol(酒)" "Really? said the reporter, "my uncle also did the {#blank#}9{#/blank#},and he only lived to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} eighty. What do you think of that?" "He didn't keep it long enough,"  the old man answer.
