What do you think is the best place to relax in your city on weekends? Here are three students' ideas.
Frank: I think Blue Moon Theater is the best place to relax in my city, although it's a little noisy there. Blue Moon Theater is not far from my home. It has the most comfortable seats and plays the best music. I go there to watch movies with my friends two or three times a month.
Zhao Min: I think the best place to relax in my city is Haiqu Park. I go for a walk there three to five times a month. Sometimes I go there to play badminton. It is my favorite sport. And sometimes I go there to skate with my brother.
Alan: I think the Red Star Library is the best place to relax in my city on weekends. People can read all kinds of books there. There is also a computer room in the library. People can watch videos or play computer games on it. Every Saturday after I finish my piano lessons in Green Piano Club, I go to the library to read books with my sister.
When my daughter was in primary school, she brought home four small twigs(细枝) from school to plant. None of them looked very strong and lively. But with hope for the future, I planted them somewhere in our backyard which could give them enough sunlight. Over the years, because of the poor soil(土壤), three of them died. Only one lived at last.
It grew crooked(不直的) and very slowly. In fact, it looked more like a fat bush than a tree. Later, I noticed that it was starting to die. The branches(树枝) were becoming bare. Only the top third of the tree was still green. I did my best to save it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer, but it didn't work.
Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again. I was thinking if it would be better to just cut it down. It would make the yard look cleaner. As I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving within the leaves. It was a bird patiently building a nest in the topmost branches. I smiled when I looked at it. I thought maybe this old tree was still useful. It might not be healthy or pretty, but it was still giving a bird a home.
This tree let me know that all of our lives have a purpose. It doesn't matter if we are young and strong or old and sickly. Until our last breath, we have things to do, love to give, and joy to share. We can help to make this world a better and more beautiful place.
Gina and Jane are good friends. They are in the same school. They go to school five days a week. They have four classes in the morning and three in the afternoon every day.
