In English, the spelling of words does not always represent(代表)the sound. And some words seem to have too many letters. An American called Noah Webster wanted to do something for the development of English, so he began his work on it. His first book,  The Elementary(基础的)Spelling Book, suggested making the spelling of English words easy. The book was very popular. In fact, Webster is famous for his American Dictionary of the English Language. This dictionary came out in 1828 after it was completed. It introduced lots of new American words, with information about their pronunciation, use and the new spelling. Today,  Webster's dictionary is still widely used in English-speaking countries.

He runs along the river for nearly half an hour, and then takes a walk for a few minutes. He goes back home for breakfast at 7: 30. But he always feels weak after morning exercise.

A. Don't give your personal information such as your address, telephone number, etc. on the Internet without your parents' permission. Never agree to get together with someone you “meet” online and never send a person your picture or anything else without first checking with your parents.

B. On the day of the party, make sure you arrive on time and show that you're happy to be there. Wear something suitable. Greet your friend with a “Happy Birthday” and hand over the gift. Make sure you have put a card with your name on it.

C. Always smile, so people don't think you are serious and hard to get along with. Be polite and modest. If you are rude, people will not like you. If people have troubles, you help them. Then, when you have troubles, they will help you, too.

D. Parents should get the kids to do their chores around the house. If their clothes need washing, they wash them themselves. Let the kids prepare their own meals. Let them clean their rooms, cook for themselves, wash the dishes, etc.

E. Let's say that the last time you eat something at night is at 6 or 7 pm (just an example). The following day, you don't eat breakfast but wait until you finish sports—you've gone many hours with nothing in your stomach. Your body has to work hard. It's not good. What's more, consider reducing the time and strength of your morning exercise.

    Bikes and cars are two important things. Many Chinese people have cars now, but most Chinese people still like to ride bikes. Do you know why?

    We all know that the bike can't go quickly, but it's easy for people to buy and ride it. As for the car, it needs too much money.

    Most Americans live far from the center of cities or their working places. So they need cars to go shopping or go to work every day. Most Chinese people live near their working places, so they don't need cars to go to work. And it's good for the environment(环境) if people stop driving. So there is a day called “No-Car Day” on September 22^nd every year.

    For me, I like to go to school by bike. It is easy and healthy.

    Hello, I'm Lin Tao. This is my school. It's a big and beautiful school. There is a big play ground. The gym is next to the playground. In front of the gym, there are science labs. Behind the gym, there is a library. So we can see the gym is between the science labs and the library. In the library, there are many books. Look! This is our teaching building, and there are 48 classrooms in it. In my class, there are 56 students.34 of them are boys, the rest are girls. On the right of the teaching building, there is a dining hall, and we often have lunch there. Teachers' offices are in front of our teaching building.

    Making the most of time is important in our life. Here are some tips that might be of help to you.

    Make a plan. You should make a plan every week. The plan includes things you want to finish. You should know what the most important ones are, and try your best to do them first.

    ⒈Control your stress. No matter what kind of stress you have, try to keep cool. When you have a lot of things to do, too much stress may make you slow. Don't work all day without breaks.

    ⒉Close your door. When working under a plan, do your important things with your door closed. This will give you a better-quality time.

    ⒊Focus on one thing at a time. Don't try to do many things at a time! You will lose your focus, and it will take you longer to finish your work.

    ⒋Just say "no". If you really don't have the time to help out, just say "no". You're only one person, and you can't save the world by yourself!

    ⒌Stop wasting time on the phone. While talking on the phone, keep your conversations short. In this way, you'll waste much less time.

    ⒍Relax. The most important thing is to take time to relax. Even if it's a 10-minute walk, get away from your work and get relaxed.
