The pupils and teachers at Fairfield School think it's necessary to protect the environment! This is what they've been doing.

Growing vegetables

Fairfield School pupils started their own vegetable garden. Both children and teachers grow vegetables, then they pick them. In this way, school dinners are more delicious than ever before.

Recycling

The Fairfield pupils don't just bring their books to school — they bring their rubbish too! There are recycling bins(回收箱) in the playground for cans, plastic bottles and paper. The teachers give a prize every month to the pupil who's tried the hardest to recycle.

Finding cleaner ways to get around

Everyone walks or rides a bike to Fairfield School! “It's faster to ride bikes than to drive anyway, even the teachers don't use their cars.” says one pupil.

    When you go on a trip, it's easier to get sick because your body isn't used to the food, water, and air in a new environment. Here are some tips on keeping your travel experience as healthy as possible.

    Have safe foods and drinks.

    So what foods are safe to eat? Any boiled food, fresh fruit and vegetables are safe for you. Peel(剥) the fruit before eating. You should try to drink only bottled (瓶装的) water when traveling. If you need to use tap water (自来水), you should boil it first.

Take some medicines.

You should also put some medicines in your bags, because they may be hard to find in another country. It's a good idea to always carry your medical history with you. This helps doctors well, and you won't have to worry about forgetting important information.

    Basic Safety

    You'll need to reset your thinking when it comes to traffic safety. The rules of the road aren't the same as they are at home. In some countries, people drive on the left side of the road, and you'll need to be careful before you cross the street. Be sure there are no cars coming when you step into the street: If there are, they may not stop for you!

    The Internet is generally(通常) considered to be the world that belongs to young people. But some old people in Shanghai don't think so. Recently, more than 8,000 people over 50 took part in a web page designing contest in Shanghai.

    The contest lasted for two months and attracted a lot of old people. Among them, the oldest is a 79-year-old retired (退休的) lady. She had learned web page designing for 4 months before attending the contest. She finally got an honorary ( 荣誉的) title of “The Most Senior Participant(参与者)”. About 30 other old people got different prizes such as “The Best Creative Work” and “The Best Fine Arts Work”. Their works' themes included science, technology, Olympics, personal life and so on.

    The organizers of the contest hoped to encourage more and more elderly people to learn more about the Internet world. And many of the participants felt they really got a lot from the contest. “Designing web page enriches my life and makes me feel much closer to the young people,” one participant said.

    The designing of web page is not an easy job. But that doesn't mean it is the patent(专利) of young people. In fact, as the saying goes: “It's never too old to learn.” As for the teenagers, perhaps they should know“It's never late to learn”, whether it is English, piano or others.

    Hello. I am a dog and my name is Happy. My owner (主人) is Nancy. She loves me very much and she likes to dress me up. So I have many nice clothes.

    In the morning, Nancy always gets up early and makes breakfast for me. I usually get up at eight and then enjoy breakfast. I eat quickly so I can take a walk with her in the park after breakfast. At nine, we get back home. She cleans her room and then goes to work. I stay at home and play with my ball. When Nancy doesn't work, she takes me to go out to have a good time. When we go somewhere, Nancy usually puts (放) me in a bag. It is easy for her to take me in that way. I live a happy life with Nancy and I love her very much.
