    Everyone likes living in a clean and comfortable environment. If the environment(环境) are bad， it will affect our body， and make us not feel well. Sometimes we may be terribly ill. At that time we don't want to work， and we have to stay in bed and rest at home. So the environment is very important to us.

    It's germs(微生物) that makes us ill. There are germs everywhere. They are very small and you can't find them with your own eyes， but you can see them with a microscope（显微镜）They are very small and there may be hundreds of them on a very small thing， Germs can always be found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope， we shall see them in it. Germs can also be found in air and dust（灰尘）. If you cut your finger， some of the dust from the floor may go into it， and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs will go into all of your bodies， and you will have pain everywhere.

    To keep us healthy， we should try our best to make our environment cleaner and tidier. This needs us to work together.

Learn to Refuse

    Believe it or not, I've always been a people pleaser. I often put others before myself because I want to make my friends happy.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    “Can you help me with my English?” Grace asked me on the first day after she became my desk mate. “Of course,” I replied without hesitation（犹豫）. Grace has been working really hard on her studies and needed my help — although I didn't have much time left for her.

    One day after school, while I was doing a huge amount of homework, Grace's phone call came.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} but I still felt bad about saying no. When Grace ended the call, the clock said it was 00:15 am. But I still had homework left and I wanted to sleep. This was bad for a Junior 3 student who is going to take an important exam this June.

    Finally I burst into tears. I felt so tired and realized that the stress had an effect on my health. I tried to get myself out. Studying is more important than other things,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . It's now important for me to say no, no, no. “Can you do me a favor?” Grace asked last Monday. “Sorry I just have to review my biology notes,” I answered. “All right, it's up to you,” she said. I felt completely relaxed when I heard her reply.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    To be honest, I have felt much happier since learning to refuse. I have more time to spend on my study at present. I still try my best to help others,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}.
