One fresh sunny day, while I was swimming in the water, I felt something special going through my gills(鳃).It was a different kind of water. I also found many of my friends became sick. Some of them were dying. I was starting to worry because I didn't want to get sick or die. I was also thinking about what I should do to save my friends, so I decided to do some research for my underwater life.

    My research started. At first, I noticed there were many bottles, cans and other kinds of rubbish in the water. Then I went on… I got closer and then I tasted many different kinds of liquid(液体).(A)To my surprise, I noticed a man pouring some liquid into the water. Others also saw him doing so and they decided to follow him. I hated it! I wish I could have told them that it was killing us!

    I think it is so stupid for people to do this to the earth that they are living on! I can't understand (B)      they are doing this. Humans should stop throwing waste into the lakes or rivers. I want to have a normal life with my friends. People should stop being so selfish and care about the environment. If they do that, everyone will be fine and will have nothing to worry about. I suggest they follow my words. If so, I believe everyone will be able to live a happy life.

    A good book can teach you things beyond(超出) your class. It can open your eyes and clear your minds. If you want to get into a good reading habit, there are a number of ways to develop it.

    Plan your time

    You should give yourself at least thirty minutes in all for reading every day. When time is set, nothing can change it. For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast or lunch time.

    Always carry a book

    Wherever you go, take a book with you. When you leave the house, make sure that you always carry a good book as well as your school things. Remember that a book always stays with you.

    Find a quiet place

    Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. When you read a book, no one will trouble you. There should be no televisions, computers, music or even noisy family members around you.

    Have a library day

    Have a library card, and you can read as many good books as possible in the library. Make it a weekly trip to the library. You can save a lot of money.

    Blog it

    One of the best ways to develop a good reading habit is to put it on your blog (博客) . If you don't have one, create one. It's free. Ask your friends and family to go there to share your ideas and give you some advice.

    Do you know Egypt? Let's go into ancient Egypt. In ancient Egypt. Women did not go out to work. They stayed and worked at home. Many Egyptian men were farmers. Some men were builders or fishermen. Other men worked as artists. Some other important people did not do any farming.

    The weather in Egypt was very hot. Ancient Egyptians did not wear many clothes. Men, women and children often wore simple robes(长袍)made of thin cloth. On their feet they wore light open shoes. People , including women, shaved(剃)hair from their heads to keep cool.

    Children in ancient Egypt grew up to do the same jobs as their parents. Girls stayed at home with their mothers. They learned to look after the family. Boys worked with their fathers. They learned to do the jobs their fathers did. They only went to school to learn to write if they wanted to become a writer.

    Many of the games played by ancient Egyptians are similar to the games we still play today. Children played racing and jumping games. They also played ball games and with wooden toys. Older children played a game like chess.

    The kings of Egypt (the pharaohs)(法老)had enough power to master their country. The people thought that the pharaoh was a god. He owned everything. Everyone had to do what he told them to do. The pharaohs built huge tombs(墓）. When a pharaoh died, he was buried in the tomb. The tombs were often in the shape of pyramids.

    When a pharaoh was buried, he was surrounded by treasure and by treasure and by things to help him in the next world, such as food, clothes, furniture and weapons.

Dear Mr. Zhang,

    Next week, a group of exchange students (交换生) from the USA will come to visit Taizhou.

    I make a plan for them. We will eat breakfast at our school first. Then we can take them to Mei Lanfang's Former House (故居) by bus. It takes only 25minutes. They can learn to sing Beijing opera there. In the afternoon, we will go to Tiandehu Park and take some photos there. In the park we can have a picnic as our lunch. Then we will go to the cinema to watch a new film. After that the girls can go to the shopping malls to buy things they like and we will take the boys to our school playground to play football for one and a half hours.

    In the evening we shall invite(邀请) them for dinner in a restaurant. They can try Chinese food. I' m sure they will have a good time in our city.

Yours love,

Tony
