On September 13th, I woke up in the best mood. It was a late start, so I got to sleep in. Not only did I get my full eight hours of sleep, but an additional two more hours as well. I got ready, danced in my room to my favorite music while I picked out my clothes, made my lunch, and was on my way to school. I arrived at 9: 50 a. m. Little did I know, in the next 20 minutes, my life would change forever. As I got out of my classroom, there he was, holding the gun.

    Although everything happened so fast, in a matter of about 4 minutes, I remember it clearly. I remember every face I saw, and I remember every sound I heard. I remember the fear and the panic of the unknown. And lastly, I remember running. Running for my life. I ran down the stairs, out of the school's front doors, and down the street to the primary school. I remember looking down at my feet. As I looked down I thought to myself, "How am I running so fast?"

    I finally made it to a safe classroom, and 20 other students and I settled in for lockdown. We stayed close to one another and cried. It felt as though the tears going down our faces would never stop. We passed our phones around to text our loved ones that we were safe and that there was a school shooter, shots were fired, and 4 students were injured thus far.

    The lockdown lasted about 30 minutes, even though it felt like forever. Our headmaster made his way to our room and explained that the shooter had been caught and we were all going to make our way to the football field.

April 6th    Saturday     Sunny 

In order to make our after-school life colorful and relax our minds, we went for an outing to the West Hill. 

Everyone is good at something, but some people are truly talented. Last week we had an {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (interest) talent show in our school. There were many wonderful{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (performer) from different classes and even some teachers in that show.

Most of the students thought the best performer was Eliza, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} she played the piano the most beautifully and she is an excellent piano player. Who was the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (funny)? Of course Steve was. You could see that he and his dog sang the song together and everyone couldn't stop laughing. Do you want {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (know) the most creative one? It must be Vera. She {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (play) the guitar upside down. The most popular actors were the math teachers in the show. They had many kinds {#blank#}7{#/blank#} instruments (乐器) and they were the loudest of all. However, there was also{#blank#}8{#/blank#} terrible show. Dennis always kept dropping the balls everywhere.

All in all, I think it is fun to watch this kind of show if you don't take them too {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (serious). And they also give students a good way to show {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) talents.

The Eco-house

Simon Dale didn't want to live in a city's apartment building. So he made up his mind {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(build) his own house in the countryside. He moved to Wales with his family and built {#blank#}2{#/blank#} wooden eco-house. With the help of his father-in-law, a builder, he moved into a comfortable new home after only four months. It only cost $4, 700 to build the house — much {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(cheap) than an apartment. 

The eco-house is made of natural {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(thing). Simon Dale and his father-in-law {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(dig) into the side of a hill and then used the mud and stone to make the walls. The floors are {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(make) of wood from the nearby area. There is no central heating system, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} there's a wood-burner and solar panels(太阳能电板) on the top {#blank#}8{#/blank#} can provide power for lighting, music and computing. Drinking water is from a nearby spring. The fri dge stays cool, thanks {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the underground air. Simon Dale says, "We try to live in peace with the natural world. " He has {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(certain) done his best to achieve that. 

People have told stories about Robin Hood for more than 700 years. Nobody knows if he was a real person or an invented character. In the legends(传说), Robin was quite smart and had a playful sense of humour. He loved playing jokes and tricks on people. The stories say that Robin Hood was a skilled archer(弓箭手)and he always carried a bow and arrow.

He wore green clothes and a hat with a green feather. He lived in Sherwood Forest with a group of outlaws(逃犯), known as his "Happy Men". The group included Friar Tuck, Little John, who was unusually tall, and Robin's true love, Maid Marian.

Sherwood Forest was a royal(皇家的)hunting forest in county of Nottinghamshire in England. Most people thought that forests were dangerous places to go. People travelling through the forests were often robbed by outlaws.

"Your money, please, my Lord!"

"Oh no, it's Robin Hood!"

The stories say that Robin Hood only took money from rich people so that he could give it to people who needed it. So he became famous for "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor".

The Sheriff(郡长)of Nottinghamshire was Robin's arch-enemy. It was the sheriff's job to keep the woods safe and to make sure that nobody stole the king's deer. The Sheriff of Nottinghamshire tried to catch Robin Hood, but never succeeded.

Centuries ago, people loved to tell each other stories of Robin Hood. Later he became a famous character in books, and nowadays Robin is still a well-loved hero in books, theatre, TV and films.
