Anger(生气) is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows our favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.
Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe(呼吸) faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit someone, but sometimes you hide your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. But if you do this, you may get a stomach ache or headache
In fact, it's not good to hide your anger, and it's common for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself. When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people, such as your friends, your parents, your teachers and so on. You can also count from 1 to 100, go for a bike ride, and think about good things, etc.
Remember that how you act when you are angry can make something better or worse. Don't let your anger control you.
A. Actions(表现) B. Ways C. Reasons(原因)

When people travel abroad(国外), they sometimes stay in the homes of the local people. This is a homestay.
I am living with an old English couple, in the west of London. They have a clean four-bedroom house. This is a new house. It has two bathrooms and a garden with many beautiful flowers. I have a bedroom of my own.
There are some shopping centres and a restaurant next to the house, and the house is close to an underground station. It takes about 30 minutes to take an underground to the centre of London.
I think a homestay may be a good choice for you if it is your first time to visit abroad. The local people are friendly and ready to help. If you want to celebrate the holidays with them, you will get to know more about their culture and customs.

People may have different dreams as they grow older. What do you want to be when you grow up? Everyone needs to answer this question.
When I was a little girl, my parents always asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I used to tell them a general, doctor or guard. But now I am a 18-year-old boy, and I really know what I want to be. I want to be a fashion designer.
What made me want to be a fashion designer? It was the fashion shows on TV because they are fascinating. The tall, thin models wear beautiful clothes and walk beautifully on the stage. So I decided to be a designer and design beautiful clothes for people and make them look even better.
Fashion magazines are my favorite books. They are quite expensive, but my parents say they will pay for them if I am really interested in reading them. They want me to learn as much as possible.
For me, I will try my best to make my dream come true. I believe that one day my parents will take pride in what I can do.

Waste sorting(垃圾分类) is a big matter worldwide. In order to sort the rubbish properly and protect the environment, people in different countries are using different methods to sort their waste.
UK A UK company invented a "smart bin" to help with waste sorting. People just need to drop their waste into the bin(垃圾箱). A camera and sensors(感应器) in the bin can tell what type of rubbish it is and correctly sort it. The bin also compresses(压缩) the waste so it takes up less space.
South Korea South Korea is using a method called "Pay For Your Waste" to encourage its people to reduce food waste. When throwing away rubbish, people have to separate their food waste from their other rubbish and put it in a bin. The smart bin then weighs the food. People have to pay for their food waste by scanning(扫描) a barcode(条形码) on the bin. If they throw away more rubbish, they will pay more.
Japan Japan is leading the world in waste sorting. They sort waste so carefully that even plastic bottles and their caps go into different bins. Different types of paper products have their own bins.
China China is improving its waste sorting efforts. Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a "green account(账户)"service for its residents(居民). The city is asking all of its residents to sort their waste into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.
