There are many kinds of cars in this world. My grandfather thinks this is because cars are like their drivers. He says, “Rich people have expensive cars, big people have large cars, and old people drive old cars.” But I don't agree with him.
My neighbour（邻居）, Mrs Hill, is 82 years old. She drives only on Tuesday, and then she drives only to the bank. She never drives more than 30 kilometres an hour. Do you think Mrs Hill has a very old and small car? No! Her car is new. It's very large, and it can go 200 kilometres an hour!
My friend Mike is an artist. He paints beautiful pictures with lots of colours. But his car is black. Mrs Bates has a very, very old car. It often has some trouble. Does she drive that kind of car because she is poor? No, she has four restaurants and two million dollars in the bank. My uncle Joe has a very small car. Every Sunday, he drives to the country with his wife, his three children, his mother and his dog. Now, you have read about my friends and their cars. Do you agree with my grandfather? Maybe you have a car. Does it say something about you?

Johnathon, 14, Grade Eight of Thomas Science and Technology Academy：I'd like to make some suggestions about our school uniform. In the school, we students have to wear uniforms every day. But the dark red and gray sportswear looks dark and old. It can't stand for young and active spirit. We can add some white or orange colors and make a new type of uniform. I hope our headmaster will think about my idea. | Frank, 15, Grade Nine of Mill Hill School：I'd like to say thank you to my headmaster. About half a month ago, my left ankle was badly hurt when I was playing basketball. Our headmaster saw it and came to me. He also took some ice cubes for me and took care of me until my parents came. I just want to thank him for that. |
Larry, 15, Grade Nine of Lakeside School：I have two suggestions for my headmaster. First of all, I think we should have more courses like STEM, Drama or Robot programming. It is quite boring to study basic subjects all the time. And second, I hope we can have more teaching equipment for teachers and students. Some students now don't have laptop computers to program their robots and some teachers also need 3D printers to build some special model bridges for Physics teaching. | Mandy, 15, Grade Nine of Brook Avenue High School Today： I want to talk about the possibility of personal classes. Now many high schools are trying the "personal class" system. Besides some regular classes, students can choose some more lessons they want to take. I think it is more effective. And it is also good for us. We don't have to stay in one classroom all the time. We can meet more teachers and students. |
Many kinds of animals are in danger now. Here are some examples.
| Giant pandas live in the forests in China. Outside China, they are only in zoos. ____Keeping a panda in the zoo is difficult because it must have lots of bamboo to eat. |

| Tigers belong to the cat family. They get small animals like deer（鹿）for food. Tigers are in danger because people cut down the forests and hunt them. People hunt them for their beautiful fur. In the past, there were many tigers in India, but today there are only a few of them. |
