In northern Scotland there is a long deep lake called Loch Ness.  More than 200 meters deep, it is the largest lake in the UK.  People  say  a  big monster (怪兽)  lives in its dark, cold waters. It weighs more than 1,000 kilos and is at least ten meters long. Some people say it has a head like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake. Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people have seen it. At least, they say they have seen it.

    The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend (传说). The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago, but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twentieth century. In 1933, a husband and wife reported that they saw a big monster in Loch Ness. Several people have taken photos, but at least one of them was a hoax (骗局). During the 1960s, a team was formed to look for the monster. They took many photos and made movies, but they were never able to find a monster.

    There is no real fact that a monster lives in Loch Ness, but there is also no fact that one doesn't live. One thing is true about Loch Ness: there are a lot of tourists there.

    195 countries reached an agreement(协议) on Dec. 12, 2015 after two weeks' talks in Paris. They talked about climate(气候) change. It is the first time in history that most of the world's countries, rich or poor, promised to take action to deal with climate problems.

    Below is a chart showing where the greenhouse gas(温室气体) comes from.

Where is greenhouse gas from?

    The Paris Agreement(巴黎协定) sets up a goal of cutting down the earth temperature to less than 2℃. If the warming gets above 2℃， there will be serious problems on the earth like natural disasters.

The agreement also asks countries to volunteer to do things. For developed countries, they will do even more. They have a plan to offer over 100 billion dollars to help poorer countries to develop clean energy like water and wind power.

    However, the Paris Agreement won't solve earth warming by itself. The future also depends on how well each country will carry out their promises.

    I'm Andy. I study at a school in Beijing. There are lots of rules(条例) in my school. We have to wear school uniforms every day, and we can't wear rings. We can't arrive late for school. We can't talk in class. After class, we can't run in the hallways. I can follow most of them, but I can't follow some.

    My cousin Mike is in a school in the USA. In his school, students can't bring alcohol(酒) to school Students can't smoke. Students can't colour their hair, and boys can't have long hair. It's easy for Mike to follow them.

    My e-friend Julie studies in a school in Canada. In her school, students can't eat in the classroom. They can't listen to music in class. Julie thinks she can obey these rules.

    We don't like some of the rules, but most of the rules can help us and we have to follow the rules.

    It is a fine Saturday morning. Bob and his family get up later than usual, because he isn't going to school and his father and mother aren't going to work. They are all staying at home, but they are not free. Each of them is doing a different thing.

    Bob's father is in the garage. He is washing his car. His mother is in the kitchen. She is busy preparing a good meal for the family. Sometimes, Bob helps his mum with the cooking, and sometimes he goes to the garage and watches his father wash his car. His elder brother, Jack, usually stays in his study till lunchtime. His two sisters are listening to some beautiful music while they're cleaning the house. His younger brother, Tom, is training his puppy. He is having a lot of fun. Around 12:30, the whole family is seated around the table enjoying a wonderful meal.

    World Environment Day is on June 5th every year in the world. It makes people realize the problems of our earth. From June 5th to 16th of 1972, the UN had a meeting in the capital(首都) of Sweden(瑞典)—Stockholm. This was the first meeting to study how to protect the environment. We have only one earth, so everyone should do something to protect our earth. We should try to do the 3Rs every day—reduce(减少), reuse and recycle(循环). We should buy things without lots of packaging(包装). Use many things in our neighborhood—They don't have to travel very far and so they can reduce pollution. Recycle all the things you use. Carry reusable bag for shopping.

At home, we should try to save water and electricity every day. When we go out, we'd better walk, ride bikes or take a bus. Try to plant more trees and use less paper to protect the forests on the earth. And we should see every day as World Environment Day and try to do anything to help our environment.
