A School in Britain

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    I get up and get dress for school. My school has a uniform-black trousers and shoes, a white shirt and a black and gold tie. The girls wear the same, or they can wear a black skirt.

    I don't live far from the school, so l walk there with my friends. Lots of students take the school or their parents drive them to school.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    Students all study English, maths and science, and we can choose others. My favorites are arts and IT.

    We have 20 minutes for break in the morning and an hour for lunch. Some students bring sandwiches to school for lunch, hut my friends and I often eat in the dinning room.

    Lessons end at 4 o'clock, but on Mondays and Wednesdays I stay at school until 5 o'clock. I go to the Chess Club and Basketball Club. There are lots of clubs and activities at our school.

    Mr. and Mrs. Brown have a big house. The house has three bedrooms and two sitting-rooms. ①There are many trees near the house. They have two children. One is a son and the other is a daughter. The children like sports very much. The son has two baseballs and nine tennis balls. He likes playing tennis every day. The daughter has eight volleyballs and ten basketballs. She plays basketball every day. ②They often play under the trees.

I always tried to do something for the children in some poor villages. On a hot July day, I{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (参加)a group of volunteers and came to a small village in the west of China to  build a library at a primary school.

After a three-hour ride, we{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(到达) the village  at last. The school was poor and we had to choose a{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (明亮的) small room as the library. Our job was to{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (改变……的位置) the books into the room, place them on the{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (架子) and set up small tables and chairs.

I soon found the work wasn't as fun as I had{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (期盼). Later that afternoon, students began to borrow books from the library. One student thanked us again and again because they couldn't{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (买得起) so many books. My{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(心) was filled with Joy. Then we worked on and in the end, we {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (创造) a library.

It only took us one day to build the library, but it will make a{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (差别) to the children's lives.

Ever since "Mother Nature" gave me life, I expected to grow tall and big.

As a young 1 , I was well protected in the forest. I used to 2 a good time with my friends under the blue sky and 3 the river. Our only purpose was to stand high. My pal, Tim often said, "All I ask for is to be 4 the whole day."

365 days passed and we grew straight. On that day, it was our 5 birthday, people came, moved us from the 6 and put us on their trucks. "I don't want to go!" Tim cried.

After a long journey, we arrived in a completely different place with 7 green. Here we were planted in a line. 8 the wind blew strongly, I could not even open my eyes to see Tim 9 beside me. So we needed enough 10 to grow thicker and higher to stop the wind.

As time went by, we finally 11 much stronger. I could keep my eyes open in the wind! I even found the blue sky was back!

This was no longer a no-man's-land, and hundreds of visitors came here. A man took a picture of us with his 12 . "Thank you. We can enjoy clear days 13 worrying about sand storms." A young girl jumping up and down came over and 14 me. "Thank you," she said. "It's you that have turned the desert into a green land!"

Tim and I smiled at each other, feeling 15 . The sun was shining brightly in the bluer sky.

My parents and I stayed in London for a few weeks last year. We went there in autumn. We think it is the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} time to visit England. The weather is usually very good. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} , we need to bring umbrellas with us. Because we will use them sometimes. There aren't too many {#blank#}3{#/blank#} in October. We stayed {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a small village. We had most of our sightseeing（观光）on {#blank#}5{#/blank#} . We went to see all the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}places. We went shopping and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} too much money. 

A lot of people say English food is awful（难吃）. We don't think {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. In fact, we enjoy{#blank#}9{#/blank#} vacation so much. So we {#blank#}10{#/blank#}to go there again this year.
