Hi! My name is Bob. My favourite colour is brown. My family's telephone number is 342-9850. Look at my family photo.
This is my father. His name is Paul. His favourite colour is blue. He is a doctor who works in a hospital.
This is my mother. Her name is Helen. She likes purple. My mum is an English teacher. She is so kind that every student likes her very much. And she helps with my schoolwork most of the time.
This is my brother. His name is Dale. What's his favourite colour? Well, it's green. Why does he like green best? Because he loves all kinds of plants. He also grows some plants in our garden. He is a very careful gardener.
This is my sister. Her name is Anna. Orange is her favourite colour. She is only 3 years old, and she is quite a cute girl. She sometimes can make us laugh happily.
When we look at a picture of Earth from space, there are areas of green, blue, and white. Most people will recognize(辨认) that the green island, the blue is water, and the white is clouds. Taken as a whole, Earth is mainly blue. That is because of the amount(数量) of water it has that covers the surface. So, how much of Earth is water? About 71% of Earth's surface is covered in water. Of that 71%, the oceans hold about 96.5% of the water. The water found in oceans is all salt water. The remaining 3.5%of the water is fresh water, which can be found in lakes, rivers, glaciers(冰川), and in the ground. Freshwater is what people use for farming, raising animals, drinking, and daily activities such as taking showers and washing clothes or dishes. Does the amount of water stay the same? For the most part, yes. Water on Earth is part of a closed system. That is, water is always moving and changing forms between ice, liquid, and gas. The form of the water changes all the time, but the total amount of water on Earth remains the same. If Earth is not necessarily running out of water, why are people worried? Why do we need to think about saving water? First, humans can only use fresh water, which is only about 3.5% of all of Earth's water. Second, of this 3.5%, only about 1% is available for human use. Most fresh water is found in glaciers far from where anyone lives. Third, the amount of water that is useful for humans is being used faster than it can be cleaned and put back into the environment. Now, knowing the facts about water, it is our job to make sure we use Earth's water in a good way. |

She and her family had been looking for her missing wedding ring for two days. After Hurricane (飓风) Ian had passed, they went outside to clean up. To their surprise, the ring was lying in a brush (灌木丛) pile. Black Widow Came to Life This is a black widow (黑寡妇) spider-only a glass one. Artist Nikita Drachuk created tiny glass animals by using a very old technique (技艺). This piece of work is a good example. It shows the creature (生物) in vivid detail. Just look at its thin legs and the spots on its back. It looks like the spider is going to crawl (爬) out of the picture, doesn't it? |
Hi, my name is Wu Ping. I'm a girl student in a middle school in Shenzhen, China. Let me tell you something about my school life. I go to school five days a week. At school, I have Chinese, maths, English, history, music and science on Monday. Science is my favourite subject. I think it's fun and useful. But my friend Huang Wei thinks it's boring. On Tuesday, we have a football game. The boys in our class are in it, and we girls only watch them play. On Wednesday, we have a geography class. Mr Wang is our geography teacher. We all like him and his classes because he is funny. On Thursday, we have an English party in the evening. It is interesting. But I don't like Friday because we have maths on that day and maths is really difficult for me. I really like my school life. |
