I'm Ann. I'm English. I'm twelve. I was born on May 17^th, 1991. I learn Chinese at Beijing No.3 Middle School. I have a good friend. Her name is Lucy. She is twelve, too. We are in the same grade. But we are not in the same(同样的) class. I'm in Class Two, and she is in Class Three. We have the same Chinese teacher. Her name is Zhang Ying. We all like her. Lucy's parents are English teachers in China. She has a sister. Her name is Lily. She is only five years old.

    Thirteen years ago, my sister, a very beautiful girl, was born. _1_, we were later told that this little girl, who was three and a half months premature（早产的）, would only have 14 days on the earth. It's hard to understand what kind of 2you have when you find out that you're losing something that you don't even know.

    As time went on, the number of days kept growing, which gave us hope. When the doctors said that we could take her home, that was when reality（现实）hit. We had no 3_.

    I am from a small town with small hospitals, but when you don't have money, you just don't have it. My mother tried for days to get the money, but nothing _4 each time. A caseworker was doing her best. It's5that it almost felt as if we had to 6a baby from the hospital.

    One day the caseworker walked into her boss's office to try again. As she walked out. Feeling 7again, out of nowhere a man walked up to her. He 8her a bag of money and said, “Please give this to the lady in need, so she can take her daughter home.” She looked 9_at her hand with tears in her eyes. As she looked up to thank him, he was gone. They searched all over that hospital and he was nowhere to be found.

    Thanks to the guy that I will 10_ know, we could take that beautiful baby girl home, and celebrate her 13^th birthday yesterday. I am thankful to this man and feel that his act of kindness should be shared with everyone.

I'm Martin. I'm a middle school student in England. The buildings in my school are all blue. 

Walk into the school, and you can see a big garden in front of you. There are green trees and red flowers in it. Behind the garden, that's our classroom building. It is between a library and a playground. In the classroom building, there're two science labs, four computer rooms, a theatre room and thirty classrooms. In each(每一个) classroom, there are desks, chairs and a big TV. 

After school, some students go to the library to read books. Some go to the playground to play football. And some go to the theatre room to watch plays. I like going to the theatre room with my friends. I like our school. 

 Wu Zeyin's new app can help farmers in Botswana work easily. It's named Farm Assistant(农业助手).

 Wu, an 11- year - old student from Hubei, China, moved to Botswana with his family seven years ago. After living in the country for some years, he found that the supermarkets there had only some kinds of fruit and vegetables and they were not newly picked.

 It's difficult to grow common crops(农作物) because of the special weather. For a long time, Botswana had to import many fruits and vegetables from neighboring countries, such as South Africa, to meet the needs of its people.

 In last July, 2023, Botswana successfully (成功地) grew China's drought- tolerant (耐旱的) rice. This kind of crop doesn't need much water to grow. Later, Zeyin made an app to help the farmers. The app has eight crops in it. Farmers can use the app to know something about the crops, like their watering needs, crop yield (产量) and selling price. And he can also learn how to grow this kind of crop from the start to the end.

Vanilla is my best friend. She is a lovely girl with two big, beautiful 1 . But she always hides them 2 a pair of black glasses. 

One day, however, I 3 ended our friendship. I remember that day clearly. We were sitting in the 4 . The teacher was handing back our 5 exam papers. I had done very badly. I was never good at 6 maths problems. I felt so 7 that I wouldn't speak to anyone. At lunchtime, I stayed in the classroom alone. Suddenly, I heard a 8 . It was Vanilla. " You look very unhappy, " she said quietly. " What's wrong?"I looked at her for a while, but said 9 . I knew Vanilla had got a good grade in the exam. I thought she was 10 me. I stayed silent, but Vanilla didn't go away. She kept asking me questions, " Is it because of the exam? Do you want me to tell you the right 11 ?"I looked away from her. When I looked up again, Vanilla had gone. And so had my exam paper! I didn't know what to do. I looked for my paper everywhere, but couldn't find 12 . 

In the afternoon, Vanilla came up to my desk and gave my exam paper 13 to me. I looked at it and got a big surprise. Vanilla had written the correct answers next to every one of my mistakes. How 14 she was! My face turned red. I held her hands and said, "Thank you." That afternoon, 15 Vanilla and I were on the way home, I felt quite happy and thanked her again. We are still best friends.
