    A long time ago, there was an emperor. He had a beautiful garden. In the garden, there was a little nightingale(夜莺) singing very beautifully.

    One day, the emperor heard about this little bird's beautiful voice. He asked his guards to bring her to him. As soon as the emperor heard the nightingale's voice, he said, "Put her in a golden cage, so she can stay and sing for me whenever I want to hear her sing."

    The little bird was so unhappy about being kept in the cage that she stopped singing one day. The emperor was very angry. He ordered the scientists in his palace to make a robot bird for him. The bird could sing very beautifully, too. The emperor was pleased.

    Soon the robot bird became old. It no longer sang beautiful songs. Just at that time, the emperor became very weak. One morning, while lying in bed, the emperor wanted it to sing once again. But the robot bird couldn't sing any more.Suddenly the nightingale landed on the window. She began to sing her most beautiful song. The emperor was very happy! He became better and better each day.

    After the emperor was well, he changed a lot and became kind to his people. From then on, all his people cherished(爱戴) him for his love and kindness.

    I'm a Chinese girl. At school I have two good friends. Their names are Lucy and Lily. They are Americans. They are twins. They're eleven. They are good girls. Miss Gao is our English teacher. She is a good teacher. We like her very much. She likes us very much, too.

    We go to school at seven in the morning. At four o'clock we play games. At four thirty in the afternoon we go home. We are very happy.

Feb. 17 should have been the start of the spring semester for many middle and primary schools in China. However, to control the spread of the COVID-19, many schools had delayed the start of the semester, following instructions from the Ministry of Education (MOE). But students in China were still studying.

Instead of having classes at school, many students in Beijing and Guangzhou began their first day of online classes on Feb 17. Students in Shanghai started online classes on March 2. "In the morning, I have English class, followed by Chinese and math, " Liu Bo, a Junior 3 student from Beijing, told Xinhua. "I have also learned about epidemic(流行病) prevention. "

According to the MOE, students were mainly taking classes to review previous knowledge rather than taking new classes during the online study period. Online courses were required to include contents about epidemic prevention, psychological health (心理健康) and educational activities (教育活动).

"Online courses are only temporary measures (暂时的措施) taken during the epidemic, so when the new semester begins, schools should not replace(替代) classroom teaching with online classes, " Lu Yugang from the ministry told China Daily.

The ministry also called on schools not to increase their students' schoolwork burden(负担). Schools should not ask students to study online for long periods of time or study things beyond( 超出) their curriculum(课程). Students must have enough time to rest, the ministry added. Also, it stressed that protecting students' eyesight must be a priority(优先).

 Hello! My name is Amy. I am 13 years old. I come from England, but now I live in Beijing with my parents and study in a 1 high school here. The school is big 2 very beautiful. There are 50 students in my class. Because of my blue eyes and brown hair, I look3 from them. But they are all very kind to me. Today is my 4 day at school. We will meet each teacher and have six classes altogether. I get to school 5 7:50 and enter(进入) the classroom quickly. It's on the second floor. Soon, an old woman comes into the classroom. She 6 very nice. "Good morning, I'm Mrs. Green. I'm your English teacher. I hope you will like my classes, "says Mrs. Green. I am very excited about learning English in China. After the English class, we have science,7 and music. Math is my 8 subject because I like thinking very much. I think it is important 9 us to think more in learning. Math can just help improve my ability(能力). In the afternoon, we have art and P. E. They are both interesting. This is my day at school. Do you remember10 ?

 Sam Smith has always been a hard-working student. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(然而), it was difficult for him to study English at the beginning of the term, and he was trying to catch up with his {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(问班同学). He was not good at speaking at first, but he tried to take an active part in the English class and have English {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(交谈) with his friends and me. During the break, I often saw him read English books, which helped him have a{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(宽阔的) view of the world. So I'm very pleased that at the end of this term, Sam Smith {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(改善) greatly and came top of our class.

 Besides learning English. Sam also made great efforts in sports games. In the last basketball Match {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (对) the Greenland School, he scored most! Now he has become a shining star on the basketball court by {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (训练) hard. I also find that Sam is a boy full of love. He helped look after the animals in the Animal Shelter. To {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (保护) more animals in danger, he wrote to the local {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (政府) and called on people to stop buying products made from animals.

Sam should be really proud of himself. I'm sure he will go to his dream {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (大学) one day if he keeps working hard. Best wishes to him!
