Birdwatching is becoming more and more popular in many parts of the world．

    Birdwatchers enjoy looking for and listening to different kinds of birds．To watch birds, all you need is a pair of binoculars, a field guide and love for birds．

    If you are just starting birdwatching, buy one of the cheaper pairs of binoculars．You can choose better ones when your needs and skills grow．A field guide helps you leam about the birds' appearances, calls and habits before birdwatching．

    When you are ready, it's best to go to the wild with someone who is more experienced．You can join a birdwatching group to learn about some beginning skills．A local bird club is ideal．

    Start birdwatching in the morning, when birds are searching for food．Most of the time, you will hear bird calls from all around you, but will not see any birds easily．Look for movement in trees, and bring your binoculars to your eyes．

    The most important work for a birdwatcher is to identify the birds he/she sees．A bird's shape, size, colour and habits can help a birdwatcher identify it．When you identify a bird, don't forget to take notes about it on your notebook．

    To find more and different birds, you may wish to plan trips to birds' different living areas： forests, lakes, rivers, wetlands, etc．

    When watching the birds, you should always keep in mind： respect wildlife and protect its living areas．

    We need animals. Every animal has its place in the balance(平衡) of nature. We should try to help save the animals.

    Some people think zoos are good places. The zoos give the animals the comfortable and safe living places. If the animals get hurt or ill, people will take care of them. The zoo is a good place to know the rules in the wild world. We can be much closer to nature. We can know more about the animals in the zoos by watching, listening even smelling instead of just looking at the pictures in books.

    Some people don't think animals feel happy in the zoos. Animals like pandas, wolves and bears usually live in the wild. They play and find food by themselves. They are free and happy in the wild. If they are in the zoos, food is enough and rooms are comfortable. They do not need to do their best to find food to eat or places to stay in. They just walk around, sleep day and night, but they are not free at all.

    I think we should build national parks as wild life nature reserves to protect animals. If we do nothing, animals will get fewer and fewer.

    If you ask soma people, "How did you learn English so well?" You may get a surprising answer, "In my sleep!"

    These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments to test "Learn-While-Sleep" methods, which are now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects, of which English is only one.

    Specialists say that this "sleep study" method speeds language learning greatly. They say the average person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period (时期) during the day, and does not affect his rest in any way, A word of warning, however, that sleep teaching will only strengthen in your mind what you have studied already while you are awake.

    In an experiment. lessons were broadcast (广播) over the radio. Each lesson lasted twelve hours from 8: 00 p. m. to 8: 00 a. m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary were given with the students awake. At 11: 00 p. m. a lullaby was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio whispered the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2: 00 a. m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to review the lesson. The cradlesong (a kind of soft song making you fail asleep easily) sent him back to rest again while the radio went on At 5: 00 a. m. his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.

Juice tastes good. But is it wise and healthy to drink juice? We asked three experts for their ideas. 

 There are twelve months in a year and my favourite month is June.

 June 1 st is Children's Day. On that day, my mother often buys some beautiful things for me. There are also some interesting activities in June at school. On the 12th, we have a ping-pong game. Ping-pong is my favourite sport. I think it's fun. I like playing it with my friends and watching ping-pong games on TV. On June 21s', we have a school trip. We will go to the West Lake. I think we can have fun there.

 School Day is great, too. We have it on June 26th. On that day, my parents can come to my school, too. My birthday is also in June. I always have a birthday party and invite my friends to my home.
