ZhangMing, a college graduate from Shandong, created a 9-page"Wechatguide". With drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide e{#blank#}1{#/blank#} how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. Zhang made the guide for his parents. "My parents are getting old. They need an easy way to learn how to use technology, "he said.

    Zhang's experience is c{#blank#}2{#/blank#} nowadays.Worldwide,40percent of parents learn about new technologies, including computers, mobile Internet and social media, from their children, according to a study from the International Communication Association in 2017.

    Parents u {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to teach their kids about almost everything. Now for the first time, the teachers become the students, and the students turn into the teachers.

    The c{#blank#}4{#/blank#} of the roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology says Zhou Xiaohong, a sociology professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and other forms of media give children ways to get information b{#blank#}5{#/blank#}  from asking older generations. Therefore, in the age of information, it's possible that children know more than their parents do.

    According to the China Internet Network Information Center, 56.7 percent of Internet users and 67.2 percent of social media users in China are under the age of 30. The younger generation u{#blank#}6{#/blank#} acts as a link between their family and the new environment. But when they teach their parents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves, noted Zhou.

    In Zhang Ming's eyes, teaching his parents about Wechat brings him c{#blank#}7{#/blank#} to his parents."People can communicate more by using new technology. Why should we keep our parents out? "said Zhang.

    John and Tina come from different countries. They are interested in Chinese food. They usually eat Chinese food in restaurants and often talk about it.

It's Saturday today and it's sunny. John asks Tina to have dinner at Ms. Brown's House. It's the first time that Tina goes there for dinner.

    "Hi, John. Are there different kinds of food at Ms. Brown's House?" Tina asks.

"Of course. There're all kinds of noodles  such as chicken and cabbage noodles, mutton and potato noodles, tomato and egg noodles and beef and carrot noodles," John says.

    "Sounds great! I like tomato and egg noodles very much," said Tina.

"Me, too. There are also delicious dumplings and specials. After dinner, we can have ice- cream and fruit. They are on sale."

    "Ice-cream? I know a new kind of ice-cream. It is delicious. And you can keep it for an hour."

    "Great! But there isn't any at Ms. Brown's House."

    "I know where to buy it. Let's go after dinner."

    "OK."

    My name is Sam. I joined a club called" passing help" last month: Now let me tell you why I joined it.

    One evening this May, on my way home my-old car broken down. It was 25 miles from my home.

    I wanted to get a ride, but there was no car. It was also hard to take a taxi. I decided to take a bus home. I went to bus stop nearby.

    After a while, a bus came, but it did not go to my town. The bus driver was a young woman.

    She was kind and she told me which bus I should take. I waited there for about thirty minutes, but no bus came. At last a car came to me and a woman came out of the car. She was just the bus driver.

    "When I reached the bus station, I got to know that the bus to your town couldn't come, so I returned here. I just can't leave you here," she said, "Get in my car and I will take you back to your home," "It is a long way." I said." Come on, sir," she said," Let's go."

    On the way she told me a story. A few days ago, there wasn't .gas(汽油) in her car. An old man drove her up to a gas station and then back to her car.

    When we got to my home, I wanted to give her some money to thank her, but she didn't accept. "I only want to help others and do something nice for somebody. Pass it along. "She said.

I have recently returned from a trip to London and Paris. It is great to see the historical places in London such as the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. If you get tired of the historical sites, I can 1 you a good place to travel—the Hard Rock Cafe. It is always 2 to get a T-shirt from there. Also, try to visit the pubs in London. It is very relaxing to visit them. Getting around in London is 3 . Just take the underground to any place in the city.

On the other part of my trip, I visited Paris. It is 4 the most beautiful city I have ever visited. I advise you to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower, visit the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre Museum. The Louvre Museum is the museum where you can 5 the famous painting—the Mona Lisa. If you are 6 good food, go to the Latin Quarter. There you will find many cheap 7 . You can spend little money on meals. However, you should know a little French, because it is difficult to get around without knowing any French. Of course you can point out what you want on the 8 , and they understand money!

Another 9 place to visit while in Paris is the Palace of Versailles. It is so big and beautiful. The 10 to Europe was probably one of my most wonderful experiences, and I did it all in a week.
