    A few days ago, I was walking down the street when I met a group of students in uniforms. I was shocked to see that the girls' skirts were very short and they were wearing a lot of make-up. The boys looked very untidy. Their shirts were dirty and some of them even had their shirt fronts open. I noticed that some of the students had their ears and noses pierced, which should not be allowed at school.

    And the other day, I was on the subway when I saw some boys wearing uniforms of the same local school. Instead of sitting quietly, these boys kept making noises and saying dirty words. All the other passengers were looking at them and wondering how it was possible for students like these boys. They were really showing a bad image(形象) of their school, which was shameful.

    I am a mother of two teenagers of the same school. After seeing those boys and girls, I am worried if my children also behave like this. I don't know about it. Do students in this school know what is allowed when they are wearing the school uniforms? I think the school should be stricter with the students, and I think all the students should be taught how to be polite.

    When you hold your pencil in the correct way, writing is much better. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriling bad. Try to be relaxed and don't hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.

They took a lot of photos on the way and then they had a picnic under a big tree. ①Suddenly it began to rain heavily. So they hurried to the hotel. When they got there, they couldn't find their expensive camera. They wanted to go back to look for it, but there wasn't enough time because they had to catch the plane at 20: 30 that night! They didn't have dinner in the hotel because they all felt sorry. To make his family happy. Mr. Green said. "Well. ②让我给你们讲一个有趣的故事吧。 An old man lived in a 200-meter-tall building. One day he fell down from it by accident, but he didn't hurt himself at all."

    "It was a miracle(奇迹)" shouted his children, why?"

    "Because he lived on the first floor!"

    They all began to laugh loudly. Just at that time a policeman with a camera came in. He said a Chinese boy found it under a big tree and the boy asked him to find out the owner.

    "It's really a miracle!" the Greens said happily.
