E-waste is fast becoming a serious problem around the world. This report will examine this problem and provide some possible ways to solve it.

We live in a society that is producing and using electronics(电子产品) all the time. It is often cheaper to buy new products than to repair old ones. Also, through clever advertising, companies always encourage people to change their old TVs, mobile phones and computers for the latest models. E-waste is created when we throw away old ones. In the EU alone, about 8,700,000 tons of e-waste is produced each year. Sadly, just over 1,000,000 tons is recycled.

    Burying(填埋) e-waste or burning it cause serious problems for the environment. Electronics have dangerous things in them. These things can then get into the ground or pollute the air when they are burnt.

    In recent years,   ▲  . However, their plans are not always managed properly. Sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana. Here they are often burnt in public areas, which is very bad for people's health. Setting up recycling centers is a good way to solve this problem. E-cycling centers could recycle the parts that can be reused and deal with the rest properly.

    Another way is to make producers responsible(负责任) for their used products. This means that producers must take back old products which are no longer wanted. They should then make sure they are properly recycled or reused.

    As for us, we should try to cut down on e-waste. Change electronics only when we have to. And don't buy a product just to have the latest model.

    E-waste is a serious problem in the modern world. Both producers and users must take actions and try to keep it to the smallest amount.

Hello，I'm Zhang Lei. I'd like to say something about my hometown. 

Welcome to my hometown. I'm sure you will like it. 

Jacaranda is from South America and was introduced to Kunming in the 1980s. Each May, the city is in purple as the trees are full of the flowers, attracting a number of visitors. Kunming is known as the "kingdom of flowers". In recent years, the jacaranda has been helping further increasing the popularity of the city.

I spent my college time in Kunming ten years ago. So I still have feelings for the city. Back then, we couldn't see these flowers. They are suddenly famous in recent years. They're really beautiful, and I feel happy to see the city improving.

The local government is also taking the chance to organize many activities to develop the tourism. During National Labour Day holiday, the visitors there almost doubled compared to the last year. You can buy all kinds of popular local foods and cultural and creative products here at this special market. This ice cream in the shape of jacaranda flowers is just one of the most popular products here. During weekends there are also concerts to greet visitors. Now, special sightseeing buses are also in service to help people better enjoy the beautiful flowers. It's a different experience. We just walked around but now we can take the bus to enjoy the flowers. It feels great, and we can take many different kinds of pictures.

The local government says they will further make good use of the value of the flowers by expanding planting areas and holding more creative activities.

True friends are hard to find. Often you thought you could believe in someone, but later he or she may let you {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. A true friend is sometimes a person who will always be there for you. Through good times or {#blank#}2{#/blank#} times, they will stand by your side. They will not {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you alone when things get difficult. They will accept you {#blank#}4{#/blank#} trying to change you. A friend will bring new and exciting things into your life and make it richer. True friends will keep your worst secrets as you will keep theirs. They will {#blank#}5{#/blank#} honest and you can always believe in them. If you talk to someone who you believe in, you don't have to worry about what you may say. We can enjoy this freedom only with {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. Friendship is a two¬way street. To find a true friend and keep the friendship between you, you must do the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} thing as well. Be there for your friends when {#blank#}8{#/blank#} are in need and share the good times with them. Offer them the same things they give to you. Friendship will break quickly if only one person is giving and putting effort into it. You will find that there is nothing more valuable (有价值的) than having {#blank#}9{#/blank#} true friend by your side to share life with, just {#blank#}10{#/blank#} someone says, "There is nothing on this earth more to be prized (珍惜) than true friendship".
