动物园

    I like going to the zoo. Because I can see many animals in the zoo. There are many different animals. Look at the animals. The monkey is climbing a tree. The elephants are drinking water. The panda is eating bamboo. The pig is walking. The horses are running. The koala(考拉)is cute. The bear is funny. The dolphin is smart. The elephant is interesting. The panda is shy and the penguin(企鹅)is friendly. I think the peacock(孔雀)is very beautiful. The lion and the tiger are very strong. I really like to see these animals. Wow, how interesting!

    The world is changing very fast. In the past，my grandparents lived in a small house. It was very old. They didn't have enough food or clothes. There was a small tree beside the house. There weren't any televisions or telephones. Now they live in a big and beautiful house. They've got lots of food and clothes. They watch TV every day. They can use the computer，too. They are very happy now.

    It's half past seven in the morning. Dick is still asleep. Mum wakes him up: "Dick, it's seven. Get up right now." Dick puts on his clothes and then comes into the living room. Mum says: "Dick, here's your breakfast. Dick answers: "Bread and eggs again! I don't like bread. And I don't want any breast. May I have an egg, please? Bye, Mum. I'm going to school." Dick runs to school. But there are no teachers or students in the school. "How silly I am! It's Saturday today."

Stephen Hawking

    Stephen Hawking was born in 1942 in England. When he was a child, he was very clever. He helped his teachers install (安装) computers.

    At the age of 21, Hawking got an illness. He could only "speak" using a computerized voice(电脑语音), but he did not give up(放弃). In 1988, Hawking wrote a famous book. It is A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes(《时间简史：从大爆炸到黑洞》)． The book talks about the universe(宇宙). Where did it come from? How will it end? What does it look like? You can read the book to find out more.

    Hawking visited China three times. He had many fans in China.  Hawking told Chinese children to stay curious and confident (保持好奇和自信).

    On March 14th, 2018, the great scientist passed away(逝世) in the UK. He studied the universe in his whole life. He also wrote many famous science books. He said, "Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet."

    There are many more and more animals in danger at present, so it is our responsibility to protect them. It's wrong for people to hunt animals for their meat and fur, for they are our good friends. We should protect them instead of killing them.

    Pandas, which are one of the endangered animals, live in the forests and live on bamboo leaves. They can just live safely in the natural protection zones. We should stop killing animals and protect them.
