Shut Up Zoos, Not Animals!

You may think that visiting zoos is harmless fun, but you're wrong because zoos are just prisons(监狱) for animals. The difference is that prisoners get out after a few years! Animals in cages look bored and are boring to look at. After all, we all know what an elephant looks like, we've seen them on TV. So why make animals suffer by shutting them up for our fun? Shut up the zoos instead!

I partly agree. But some zoos aren't there for our fun. I've just got back from Jersey Zoo. It saves rare animals and breeds them. Then it returns the babies to the wild. Not all zoos are the same, you know.

Quite agree! Every time I go to the zoo, I never look into the poor animals' eyes! Kept in the small and smelly cages, they look so lonely and sad. Hope one day they will return to nature, where they can live happily and freely with their families.

Personally, I think zoos are fantastic places for children. They can play with animals and enjoy themselves so much there. Also, they learn a lot about animals. Why shut up?

    Good study habits are important for all students. When you have good study habits, you will learn faster and find you have a good memory.

    Do you usually study in the living room？This is not a good place for study because it's really too noisy. You need to study in a quiet place, such as your bedroom. A quiet place will help you learn better.

    Before you begin to study, do not forget to clean your desk. It helps you study well, too. Light is important, too. You will feel tired easily if there is not enough light.

    Of all the good study habits you can develop, asking questions is the key. Just ask. No one knows everything, but we can always learn from each other by asking questions.

    When do you work best？Are you an early bird, a night owl (猫头鹰), or something in between ?Find your most productive work time, and then plan to study at this time.

Your teacher asks you to collect your classmates' opinions about their favorite school lunches. After asking everyone, you have collected a lot of data(数据) or information and aren't sure how to organize it. Creating a graph (图表) can be a great way to organize and share your data.

Graphs show data in a direct way that is easy to read and understand. There are many different kinds of graphs. Different graphs are better for different kinds of data. Read on to find out about the types of graphs in math, as well as the key parts of a graph.

Bar chart

A bar chart has a horizontal axis (横轴) and a vertical axis(竖轴). It has a title that explains what it shows, and different bars are used to show different amounts. There's a number line along the vertical axis and labels(标签) along the horizontal axis, labeling the data.

Pie chart

A pie chart helps organize and show data as a percentage of a whole. True to the name, it looks a bit like a pie and uses a circle to show the whole. Pieces of that circle, or "pie", stand for the different things. The different pieces of the pie are different sizes depending on how much of the whole pie they show. Each piece is labeled to show what it means.

Line graph

Line graphs are used to show changes to numbers over time. They show what we call continuous data. The vertical axis explains the data being shown. We mark data on a line graph. The different data points are then joined up with straight lines, so we can look at the trend(趋势) it shows.

Flow chart

A flow chart shows the different steps in something using boxes and arrows(箭头). It can often have many different directions and different paths you can take using the information it asks for. Flow charts can be great for explaining a huge process by breaking it down into different steps.

Many people now are taking workcations. The word is from"work"and"vacation". It is when you take a vacation and do some work for your office at the same time.

You can work when you want to. You can check your emails while you sit and enjoy the beach under the sun. Also, you can make pictures or videos for money while you travel around the country.

Workcations help people. When people are not in the office, their minds are clear. So, it's easy for them to think and have new ideas. People can work and have fun at the same time on workcations.They don't get bored. Also, they have more energy( 精力 ) to do things.

However, some people don't like workcations. For them, there's still pressure(压力) to finish all the work. They also feel tired because they can't have and enjoy a real vacation.

Workcations are good for some people, but they are also bad for others. That's because everybody works in different ways. How about you? Do you want to mix your work and life together?

Many children like to go hiking(徒步旅行).Why? Because they can be free from school and homework. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} If you want to have a happy hike,you must pay attention to(注意) the following.

First,find a good day. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} If the weather is good,you can do a lot of things,like riding horses,going bike riding,swimming in the river,flying kites and playing ball games.

Second,go with people you like.If you go hiking with people you don't like,you will not have a great time. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} .

Third, find the right place. Different people have different ideas about the places. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I like to walk along the beach, listen to the sound of the sea(海洋) and watch children play.

 {#blank#}5{#/blank#} To have a nice  hike,you  must  have comfortable  shoes, enough water and some  food  . Now you can go hiking.
