My friend gang (我的朋友帮)

    I study in an international school. The students in my school come from different countries. Amy, Kathy and Joe are all my good friends.

    There are many magic（神奇的) things in the world of animals. Please look at the followings：

    When you're a teenager, it seems that every time you say “I want to...”,someone answers“No, you can't.” Also, no part of your life is safe from the “prying(窥视的) eyes” of your parents. 15-year-old Debbie says, “My dad always wants to know where I am, and what time I'm going to be home.” Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything? They  ③  give us more freedom.Young people further complain that their parents do not respect(尊重) them. When something goes wrong,more parents just don't believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents allow their kids  ①  (choose) for themselves. Yes, it is true that your parents sometimes treat(对待) you like a little child. But remember that not too long ago you were really a child.Your parents still remember those childish mistakes that you used to  ②  (make). They want to protect you though you do not want them to do so.

    So, if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and do not lie to them. 尝试一种更友好的方式。If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don't just say, “All the other kids  ④  stay out late.” Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where you'll be and why it's important for you to stay out late. Then they  ⑤  just say “yes” .

    My name's Bob. I went to Qingdao on vacation with my family this summer. We went there by bus. We visited Qingdao Polar Ocean World first. We saw many different kinds of fish and other sea animals. It was really interesting. For lunch we had sea food. It was delicious. After lunch, we went to the May Fourth Square. It was beautiful. We took some photos there. Then we went to the beach. It was cool. But there were too many people. We went shopping in the evening, and I bought something interesting for my friends. Everything was excellent. We had a wonderful time there and I hope to go there again.
