When I first arrived on this island, I had nothing. But I've found the ship and made a small boat. I've brought back many things I can use—food and drink, tools, knives and guns. Although I have lost everything, I have not lost my life. So I will not give up and I will wait for another ship. I have already cut down trees and built a house. I go out with my gun almost every day to kill animals and birds for food. I'm even learning to grow fruit and vegetables.

    A few weeks ago, I found the marks of another man's feet on the sand. Who else is on my island? Not long after that, I saw some cannibals trying to kill two men from a broken ship. One of them died but the other ran towards my house. I helped him kill the cannibals. This man now lives with me and helps me. I named him Friday because that day was the day I met him. He is smart and I have already taught him some English.

    Lots of kids like to play computer and mobile games these days. Is this good or bad for us? How do we deal with this issue?

    In my opinion, playing games responsibly(负责任地)can help us relax. As the old saying goes," All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. "For example, when I finish five days of studying, I feel tired. That's when I like to play a game called King of Glory with my classmates. We all have lots of fun playing and talking about it. When we win, we feel happy. And when we lose, we still want to play more. I think that's why so many students in our school like to play this game. It can not only help us relax, but also strengthen our friendship.

    In addition, playing games can exercise our brains and help us think more quickly. When we start to play a new game, we're not very good at it. But we can get better through practice. This process exercises our brains and makes them more active. However, you should make sure that you have finished all of your homework before you play games.

    Still, some students seem like they are addicted(上瘾的)to games. They can't control themselves and will play games for five hours a day. That is not good. It's bad for not only their eyes, but also their health. They will feel tired in class the next day, which will affect(影响) their studies. That's not very responsible.

    Therefore, I can only say that we should try to be self-disciplined(自律的)and responsible when working out how much time we should spend playing video games.

    What do you think of your study habits？Do you find it hard to concentrate on your homework？Do you forget anything that you studied the night before？If you have these problems, maybe your study habits are not so good. Here are some tips to help you improve your study habits.

    ● Plan your time carefully. When you plan a trip, one of the first things you must do is to make a list of things. If you don't, you are almost certain to leave something important at home. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. Otherwise, you may forget to leave enough time to complete them.

    ● Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study place. Keep this space, which may be a desk or a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No computers, radios or televisions! If you can't find such a place at home, find a library where you can study.

    ● Make a good plan of your study. In class you should pay attention to what the teacher says. Sit where you can see and hear well. Good listening in class means less work later. You should take notes, too. After class you should go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss next day, read them first. This will help you understand the next class better.
