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.

    One of the Great British Bake Off winners Nadiya is telling us something about her life and her book Bake Me a Story.

Q: {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

A: My kids like reading books, and they also like staying with me in the kitchen when I cook. So I think if I write a book with both stories and recipes (食谱), parents and kids can enjoy cooking together in the kitchen and then read a story when they wait for the food to cook.

Q: You baked (烘烤) the Queen' s birthday cake! {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

A: It' gave me great pleasure to bake for the Queen and to be a part of history. I would like to bake for David Attenborough too!

Q: {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

A: The blueberry and orange soda bread. It's quick and easy, and it's very delicious.

Q: {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

A: Of course not! To see the looks on their faces and hear the happy noises they make when they eat the cakes makes all the hard work worth (值得) it.

Q: {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

A: My most important advice is "Don't be worried about cleaning up "the kitchen. Try things out in the kitchen and have fun!"

    Yesterday Jack went to a movie with his mother, Mary. There were two movies last night. One was My Father's Birthday. It was a very funny comedy. They both liked it. The actor was Paul Jackson. Jack liked him very much. The other was Black September. It was a thriller. His mother thought it was boring. After that it was ten o'clock. They went home by car. Jack was very happy, because he liked the films and he had a good time. Half an hour later, he went to bed happily. It was a happy Children's Day.

    It's hard to make friends if you stay at home all the time, so get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with(接触)other people. It's easier to make friends with them when you find you like the same things as other people.

Don't be afraid to show people what you're really good at. You can talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if they, hear something interesting about you.

    Look at people in your eyes when you talk to them. That way, they'll find it easier to talk to you, or people may think you're not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.

    Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about "me, me, me” You can ask people lots of questions and show that you are interested in their answers.

    Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like, respect(尊敬)and admire(羡慕). You shouldn't just make friends with those people you will meet them easily. Try to be friendly with all kinds of people. That way, you'll have a bigger group of people to choose from. Then you'll be easier to make friends with other people.
