    Bird lovers know that a good place to go bird-watching is Guandu Nature Park. As many as 220 kinds of birds come to this park every year. Since the park offers birds lots of food to eat and places to build their nests, it has become a paradise（天堂）for birds.

    Guandu Nature Park is also a great outdoor classroom. The park's Nature Center provides guided tours to the public. During the tour, visitors can learn about the environment. So, if you want to have a fun and educational weekend, come to Guandu Nature Park. Get away from city life and head into nature.

    If you have no special plans for your holidays, why not spend your time helping others?

    Don't listen to people who say the young people today often think only of themselves. It's not true at all. More and more young people in the U.S.A. volunteer to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don't do it for money. Here are some of their stories.

    Hello, everyone. I have something important to tell you. There will be an open English class in the school hall next Monday. Mark, our new foreign English teacher, will give us the lesson. He is from Australia. He will talk about how to study English. All the other English teachers will be there. We should remember the following things. Keep the hall clean. Get everything ready before the class. It lasts forty-five minutes. Arrive there before 8: 30 am. Listen to the teacher carefully. Put up your hand when you want to speak. Be polite to all the teachers.

    I will never forget the lesson about my window. Four years ago, I moved to a house in a large town. One of my new neighbors' house was only a few feet away from mine.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Through one of my windows, I could see her reading by her window every afternoon.

    A few months later, I found I couldn't see the woman clearly. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I said to myself, "Why doesn't she clean her window? It looks terrible!"

    One afternoon, I decided to clean my house including (包括) the window.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} So I sat down by the window for a rest. What a surprise! I could see the woman reading there clearly again! By that time, I knew that my own window was too dirty, not hers! {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I had been watching her through my dirty window in the past days!

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Now I try to clean the window of my heart before judging(评判)others.
