I have a pet dog. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} name is Indy. He is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} years old. I love Indy very much. He is a good pet. He is cute and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} . And he is my good {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . I like dogs {#blank#}5{#/blank#} dogs are kind to people. Indy can {#blank#}6{#/blank#} many things for me. For example, Indy can guard (守卫)my home. He can open and close the door {#blank#}7{#/blank#} me. When I give him some food to eat, he will shake his tail(摇尾巴) to thank me. I often {#blank#}8{#/blank#} him to go for a walk. I get Indy from my aunt. I must look after(照顾) him {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. He needs a lot of love.

    Now, Indy {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a part of my family. I love him and he also loves me!

Mike: Why were you late for class today, Steve?

Steve: My alarm clock didn't go off! I kept{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, and when I woke up it was already 8:00a.m.!

Mike: Oh, no!

Steve: So I just {#blank#}2{#/blank#}put on some clothes and rushed out the door.

Mike: You didn't have breakfast?

Steve: No, I didn't even brush my{#blank#}3{#/blank#}or wash my face! But before I got to the bus stop, the bus had already left.

Steve: Then how did you get here?

Mike: Luckily, Carl's dad saw me on the street and{#blank#}4{#/blank#}me a lift in his car
Steve: Well, at least{#blank#}5{#/blank#}the time you got to school, you were only five minutes late for class.

    Do you always {#blank#}1{#/blank#} with your teachers? Sometimes you have a different answer to a math problem. Or perhaps they scold (训斥) you when you don't think you did anything {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. What do you do then?  A story said that more and more students are speaking out and even quarrelling {#blank#}3{#/blank#}their teachers.

    It's good for students to say what they think. In the past,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Chinese students dared speak back to their teachers. It was a rule that what the teachers {#blank#}5{#/blank#} is always right. But now students are beginning to think more by themselves and dare to say {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they want.

    But students should choose the{#blank#}7{#/blank#}way to speak out. We should {#blank#}8{#/blank#} teachers. They are older than you and have more experience. So, never {#blank#}9{#/blank#}rude words when you don't agree with them.

    Try to find the right time to talk to your teacher. For {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, discuss the problem after class.

Dear Mr. Hunt,

    My problem is that I can't get on {#blank#}1{#/blank#} my family. Relations between my parents have {#blank#}2{#/blank#} difficult. They fight a lot, and I really don't like it. It's the only {#blank#}3{#/blank#}they have. I don't know if I should say {#blank#}4{#/blank#}to them about this. When they argue, it's like a big, black cloud {#blank#}5{#/blank#}over our home. Also, my {#blank#}6{#/blank#} brother is not very nice to me. He always {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to let me watch my favorite TV show.{#blank#}8{#/blank#} he watches whatever he wants until late at night. I don't think this is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. At home I always feel {#blank#}10{#/blank#} and nervous. Is that normal? What can I do?
Sad and Thirteen.
