Goldfish are good pets. They are funny to watch. But they need the right home. They are not happy if they are living in a bowl. A tank is bigger. It can hold more water and it has more room for goldfish to swim. So a tank is a good place for goldfish. Here are some ways for keeping goldfish in a tank.

    Put a tank at home. Do not put it near the window. It could get too warm from the sun.

    Put some water in the tank. Wait a few days, check the water and make sure the water is clean. Then put some rocks and plants on the tank bottom for fish to hide behind them.

    Get your fish. Bring it home in a bag. The bag must be full of water. Let the bag float (漂动) in the tank. Wait half an hour. Then open the bag. Let the fish swim out.

    Look after goldfish. First put a cover on the tank. It can keep fish safe. With a cover nothing can fall into the tank and fish cannot jump out. Do not feed your fish too much! A fish should eat most of its food right away. Clean the tank each week. To keep the water clean, you must take out old water and add new water.

    Your fish will be happy to live in a tank.

    Some people have found that they always spend much more on travelling than planned. Here is how it happens:

    ⒈Preparing too much before travelling

    Some people, especially females, like to travel as if starting a new life. Several weeks before the trip, they would be busy shopping for new dresses, better sunglasses and best-selling books. They would rather fill their travelling bags up with all fashionable things. Just travelling? It's more like attending a fashion show. They care more about their appearance than the sights they see during the trip.

    ⒉Following other travellers blindly.

    They can't stop shopping for objects they would never normally buy and would certainly never use. For example, we can find a group of travellers" getting ahead" to buy "Christmas" presents even in summer.

    ⒊Replacing things that are forgotten to bring.

    They forget to bring things like trainers, cool bags, toothbrushes or beach towels. The towels sold near beaches are nearly the price of gold leaves. They spend a lot on those things. However, plenty of new towels are sleeping in their bathroom at home.

    People usually find themselves poorer than they planed after a holiday trip. There are mainly three {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Firstly, some female travellers consider a journey as attending a fashion show. How they look seems more {#blank#}2{#/blank#} than what they see, so they spend more money on something new. Secondly, some people follow others without {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. When others do some shopping, they can't {#blank#}4{#/blank#} themselves. Thirdly, goods for daily use at tourist attractions aren't as {#blank#}5{#/blank#} as those back home. As a result, they may spend more than they thought.

    As teenagers, you have a lot of dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the top ten students in your class.

    Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real? Making our dreams real is life's biggest challenge(挑战).

    You may think you're not very good at some subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts prevent you from being successful.

    In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is remember the dream in your mind. Don't let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is made up of small ones. Please never give up.

    You may have difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.
