The programmes Sun Xiaomei hosts might be among the shortest on CCTV. On Screen Next Week is on once a week for 15 minutes, and TV You, He and I comes on for five minutes each time once a week too. “Though these programmes are short, I have many ideas to make them more lively for the audience,” she said.

   Sun was interested in music in her childhood. She played the violin since the age of five until she finished middle school. At first her father wanted her to enter a music school; however, 16-year-old Sun Xiaomei became a student in Beijing Broadcasting College.

   Sun loves her job as a hostess very much. She pays great attention to learning from her comrades(同事), especially Zhao Zhongxiang. When Zhao Zhongxiang hosted The World and The Animal World, Sun would sit beside him to learn.

 “I am sure that when I am seen by hundreds of millions of audience on the weekend, I can make friends with them through my warm and easy talk,” she said.

    Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.

    Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.

    In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.

Street Markets Around the World

    There are many ways of shopping. You can shop by telephone, by post or through your home computer, but for many people, the most exciting way to shop is also the most traditional—at a street market. You can find markets anywhere in the world. Here are four of them:

    There are many "floating markets" in Asia; perhaps the most unusual(非同寻常) is in Thailand(泰国), at a place called Damned Saduak. It's open from six in the morning to the noon every day. People sell fresh fruit from their boats.

    Many Belgians(比利时人) say that the Grand Place is the most beautiful square in the world. It's the home of a colorful flower market. It's open every day except(除了) Monday. On Monday, instead of(替代) flowers, there's a wonderful bird market.

    One of the world's famous markets is in Mexico City(墨西哥城)—the Sonora Market. You can buy toys, birds, herbs(草本) and medicine. There're all kinds of things. It's open every day from early in the morning till late at night.

    In England, on Saturday and Sunday thousands of young people from all over London travel to the Camden Market—it's the place to go for street fashion, CDs and tapes. Many people also go there for fun.

    Kingston, Jamaica (population 700，000)

    Kingston isn't a beautiful city, but it's very busy and interesting. There are lots of people and lots of cafes(咖啡馆). There are some beautiful places near Kingston—the Blue Mountains and some beautiful beaches. I love it!

    Kingston, England (population 150，000)Kingston is a very busy town. There are a lot of shops and cars, and there's a university with students all over the world! It's a nice place—there's an old square(广场), and it's near the River Thames. There are some beautiful parks, too. Kingston, New Zealand (population 2, 000)Kingston is a small town near Lake Wakatipu in the mountains. It's a really beautiful place, but it's very quiet—there's only one school, one bank and one small supermarket! There's a famous old train there, too.

A story about the Mid-autumn Festival

    A great festival for the Chinese takes place on the 15th day of the 8th Chinese lunar month. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} In 2019, the Mid-autumn Festival falls on September13th. As a time for families to be together, the Mid-autumn Festival has its typical food -the mooncake which is round and delicious. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Long ago there was a king in China who was very cruel（残暴的）to the people and the country didn't go well. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} So they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time and put them into cakes. On the 15th of August every person was told to buy the cakes. When they ate them, they discovered the notes. So they got together to make a sudden attack(进攻）on the king. From then on, the Chinese people celebrated on August 15^th. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    When the Mid-autumn Festival is near, shop owners decorate (装饰)their shop windows beautifully with pictures of ancient Chinese ladies. People go to buy many kinds of mooncakes. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} On the evening of the day, people and their family have a big meal. After it, they eat mooncakes and watch the fullest and brightest moon.
