Tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have different ideas about tea-drinking.

    Chinese people drink tea at any time of the day at homes or in teahouses. They prefer their tea with nothing else in it. The Japanese way of having tea is very old and full of meaning. There is even a special room for tea-drinking in Japanese homes. In England, almost everyone has a cup of tea in the late afternoon. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with cream and sugar. They also eat cakes and cookies with tea. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. It's faster and easier. They drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. In summer they drink cold tea or iced tea.

    In America, the school day usually starts at 9 a.m. and finishes at about 4 p.m. The school subjects are different from1. In China, we always2Chinese, math, English, P.E. and so on. But in America, students have more3, such as cooking and driving lessons. Their school life isn't just4study. They also have more things to do than（比）Chinese students. There are many clubs（俱乐部） in American schools, 5. If the students are interested in sports, they6join different sports clubs. American students also have art clubs, language clubs and some7clubs. From 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m., they do8things in these clubs.

    Maybe you think English is very popular in the world, so American students don't need to 9any other language.10that's not true. American children from the age of seven have to learn a foreign language. For example, they learn French or Chinese.

① A survey(调查) has shown that lots of people can't sleep well. Sometimes you feel tired when you wake up. You may have a headache and you feel like you could sleep for another three hours. Many things around us cause sleeplessness. Here are a few changes you can make to improve your sleep.

②Go to bed and get up at the same time. You may share the same bedroom with your sister or brother. You both must go to bed regularly(规律地) so that you don't trouble each other.

③Clean up your bedroom. A study from a university in Zhengzhou found that people with clean bedrooms usually sleep better than those with dirty and untidy rooms.

④ Get more house plants. Studies show that house plants help with reducing (减轻)stress. Also, plants such as lavender(薰衣草) and gardenias(栀子花) have smells that may help some people relax and sleep better.

⑤ Make your room dark. When light hits your eyes, it tell you not to fall asleep. In fact, we need darkness especially in the evening. So if you want your body to know that it's time to rest, turn off the lights about an hour before bedtime or wear eye masks. Your phone and your TV should also be thought of. You may also use the dark curtaıns(窗帘) to keep any outside light from going into your bedroom.

⑥Lower your bedroom temperature. The body becomes cooler at night, so lowering the temperature before bedtime can help you relax and fall asleep more quickly. The NationalSleep Foundation in a country says your bedroom should be about 16 ℃ to 19℃ for a good night's sleep.

Hello, I'm Bob. I'm 12 years old. I am at school now. I want to say something about myself. 

Playing volleyball is my hobby. I like it very much. I always play volleyball with my friends after school. It's relaxing for me. I have five volleyballs. They are under my desk. And I like to watch volleyball games on TV. 

I have eggs, milk and some fruit for breakfast. For lunch, I have noodles and some salad(沙拉). For dinner, I like chicken and some vegetables. I don't eat ice cream. It's not healthy. My favourite food is fruit and vegetables. I think they are good for our health. 

I'm healthy because I like to play sports and eat healthy food. What about you? Can you tell me about your hobby and eating habits?
