In the UK, bus journeys are very common. Buses are often convenient(便利的) for the people who live or work in the city centre. Passengers can avoid heavy traffic and do not have to pay for the parking. However, taking the bus is just a necessary but boring part of life: They get on the bus, pay for it and sit down or find a place to stand when it is crowded. Everyone seems sad and bored.

    In Latin America, however, bus trips can be wonderful. For a start, films are showed on the buses between cities for passengers to have fun along the journeys. Local buses do not show films, but drivers usually turn on the radio and it can be great for passengers to listen to songs and get relaxed.

    Even better than films and music are the sights and sounds on the buses. Local buses always go to parts of the town that passengers would not visit by themselves. There passengers can see shops that they have never heard about. And they can also see other cultures of the town from the windows of the buses.

    Besides, passengers' luggage(行李) is also interesting. It is common to see a happy dog's head getting out of somebody's bag or a lovely chicken "speaking cheerfully" under somebody's arm. Once on a bus in Peru, a farmer even tied a sheep to the top of the bus. It was quite surprising.

    In all, taking the bus in Latin America is really fun and unforgettable.

    Bob and I live in the same building. His room is on the tenth floor, and mine, the ninth. He is kind but careless.

    One day Bob and his friends went to an island for traveling. On the island, they swam, fished and had a picnic. They enjoyed themselves very much. Three days later, they decided to come back by boat. On the way, their boat hit a rock and soon went down. They were all in danger. Luckily, all of them were out of danger with a villager's help. At that time, Bob was quite hungry and tired, so he hoped to get home as soon as possible.

    When he got to the building, it was already midnight. As the lift(电梯）didn't work, Bob had to go upstairs on foot. He stopped by my door and took out his key to open it. Of course, he could not open the door. He tried it again and again, but failed. He became angry and shouted. " What's wrong , my god?" The noise woke me up. I opened the door. I understood at once what was happening and said," You are wrong. It's my room, Bob!"

    "Oh, no, Mike!" Bob shouted, "It's my room. You have opened the door by mistake!"

    Moving out, moving back

    In the countries all over the world, people are leaving the countryside in large numbers to find jobs in the cities. They leave because the countryside is much poorer than the city and often there isn't much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in cities than they are in the country. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

    But in the big cities of Europe and America-London. Pairs, New York, people are moving out of the city. These are usually families who have some money, and want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} They want a house with a garden, and clean air that isn't polluted.

    So they move out. Some don't go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

There are sheep and cows and green fields! There, they start a new life and try to make new friends.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don't make so much money and there isn't much to do. The people there are very different and aren't always very friendly. .{#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

    "It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights, "they say, "I'm so glad I'm back in the city!"

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}We may feel excited when we have success in a school play. We may feel sorry if we lose an important game. We want to keep the memory for the rest of our lives.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Our English teacher, Miss Wang, has taught us a good way of remembering things to make our own yearbook.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}A yearbook is a kind of book which is used to keep the memory of exciting moments.  It's usually made at the end of the year.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}First we chose the persons who had done something special, and then some students interviewed them, some wrote down their stories, and others took photos of them.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}Finally our teacher helped us to put these things together. We had our first yearbook.

    All of us put a lot of love into making the yearbook. It is so wonderful that not only the students but also our parents and teachers will remember the special time for ever.
