March 24^th

    This morning, we had a school trip to the Dashan Collection House, a building of two floors． It is open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm． We took the school bus and arrived at 9:00． When we entered the collection house, our eyes were caught by a collection of old photos of the town on the walls of the front hall． Those photos told us something about the history of the town． And then in the Art Room, we saw many pictures of the countryside． The colors of the flowers and trees are rich and bright． All at once, I lost myself in the beauty of nature．

    Then we went upstairs． On the left, there were over one hundred different clocks． The oldest clock was already more than two hundred years old． To my surprise, the clocks all worked well and they could tell the right time． It was then ten o'clock, and some clocks produced different beautiful sounds． It seemed to be a concert． How amazing!

    On the right there was also a stone collection． The stones were from all over the country． They were in different sizes, colors and shapes． Some looked like different kinds of animals． I really liked one stone that looked like a little monkey． It looked very nice．

    The collections there were wonderful． So they stayed there until 11:30 in the morning． I had a great time and really liked the school trip．

    Rich or poor， young or old， we all have problems. We should learn how to deal with our problems. Here are some ways.

    Firstly， we should learn to forget.有时我们会生朋友的气。Good friendships may be lost. Sometimes children have disagreements and decide not to talk to each other. However， this usually does not last for long. This is an important lesson for us: we can solve a problem by learning to forget.

    Secondly， we should regard problems as challenges(挑战). Many students often complain about school.他们有太多的作业要做。They think the rules are too strict. Education is an important part of our development. As young people， it is our duty to try our best to deal with each challenge with the help of our teachers. Don't worry about our problems. Let's face the challenges.

    Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) are found in warm ocean(海洋）waters all over the world. Coral reefs are important because they are home to many ocean plants and animals. They also help keep the sea clean. As well, they provide（提供）food, jobs and a special place to visit for millions of people all over the world.

    There are three main kinds of coral reefs: fringing reefs, barrier reefs and coral atolls. Coral reefs are formed（形成）by tiny animals called coral polyps.

    When coral reefs are healthy, they keep the ocean environment balanced. But many things that humans do are making the reefs sick. Some reefs are even starting to die.

    We should protect coral reefs and help them become healthy again.
