When I was in Grade 7, I used to spend too much time chatting online at night. The next day, I often felt{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(困倦的) in class, I couldn't listen to teachers carefully and I couldn't {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (重复) correctly what the teachers told me. I {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（几乎不） understood what they taught in class. That was why so much homework couldn't {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(做) by me because of my terrible situation at that time. And my mother always {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(警告) me of the importance of my schoolwork. From then on, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(开始)studying for my most important exam in my life. I have realized that it's {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（愚蠢的）of me to do that. I listen carefully in class every day. At night I read some books after finishing the homework to be knowledgeable. I feel like studying with my teachers and classmates I'm the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（主人）of myself. I have made a little progress and I think I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(赢了) the war against my laziness. I'm no longer a fool , which once worried my parents a lot in the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(过去).

      There is an old saying: He who laughs last laughs best. I hope I could enter my ideal high school.

    As we all know, one of Thailand's symbols {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) the elephant. It is also a symbol {#blank#}2{#/blank#} good luck.

    Elephants are smart animals. They can play soccer or music. They can also draw very {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (good). People say that "an elephant never forgets". Elephants can walk {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a long time and never get lost. They can also remember places {#blank#}5{#/blank#}water and food. This {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (help) them to live.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#}elephants are in great danger. People cut down many trees so elephants are {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (lose) their homes now. Today there are only about 3,000 elephants. We must save the trees and not buy things {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (make) of ivory.

    Elephants are our good friends. I think people all over the world must work together to save {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they)!

    Tammy was not happy. Her parents thought that she was too young for {#blank#}1{#/blank#} cell phone, no matter how much she begged." But Sun and Alicia have mobile phones!" Tammy cried," {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I don't get one, I won't be popular."

    "Having mobile phones doesn't make you popular, "Tammy's dad said {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(loud). He was always saying something like that, as if he knew {#blank#}4{#/blank#} it was like to be in fourth grade." Besides", Dad said, "You {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(not allow)to take mobile phones to school. And you can call your friends from the house as soon as you finish your homework."

    But I can't send  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(they)text messages, "Tammy replied

    "You can use e-mail", Mom said." mobile phones are expensive. We want you to wait until you can pay {#blank#}7{#/blank#}part of the cost before you get one"

    "By that time I will not need one. Nobody {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(know)who I am." Tammy said." I might as well move to an island where no one live." might as well move to an island where no one live."

    " In that case, I'll get you some empty {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(bottle)and some paper, "Dad said" Bottle messages are much {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(cool)than text messages."

"Ugh", sighed Tammy.
