【推荐3】Imagine you are walking through deep snow. As you walk, you leave footprints where you’ve been. That’s what happens when using technology, such as computers, mobile phones and tablets. You leave your digital footprint and it will never disappear.
Here are reasons why your digital footprint should matter to you.
How people see you
Of course, you have nothing to hide, but if people get information about you, they might judge you from the information you have left online. For example, you make a bad joke online. Years later, it’s found by the university you are applying to, and they don’t think it’s funny. Maybe they decide you are not the “right” kind of person for them,
Your private information
Not everything can be shared with everyone. For example, you might share your school reports with your parents, but keep them secret to your e-friends. If you share them on the Internet, they will not be a secret anymore. Therefore, to protect your privacy(隐私), remember to put out less information online.
Keeping your money safe
There are plenty of people looking at information about you, and some of them want to steal from you. So you shouldn’t write bank details, card numbers or passwords in emails or text messages.
Overall, the message is: No one can go online without leaving his digital footprint—but with care, you can control it.

1. When do you leave digital footprint?Is it good or bad to have a party？
These days more and more students like to have parties on weekends. But is it good or bad for them？Different people have different ideas. Some people are for it，but others are against it.
Some people think having a party is good for students to know and understand each other well. On weekdays，the students are always studying. They don't have any time to have fun. They seldom sing or dance. And they have no time to communicate. A party can make them relaxed and happy. On the other hand，each family has one child. The children need to make friends with each other.
However，some parents are against having parties. They think it's a waste of money and time. The students always buy many expensive gifts that will cost them a lot of money. But the students don't earn money. The have to ask their parents for money. And some students are always serious about the parties. They spend more money and time. Some parents said nothing could be done when the students got together and they only amused themselves.
They thought the students couldn't pay more attention to their study in the following week.
In my opinion，I am for having a party. But the students can't spend more time or money.

A bottle of water may not seem like much to you, but thousands of bottles will be of great help for people who live in drought-hit(遭受旱灾) areas in China.
Since last autumn, there has been very little rain in Southwest China. Some places, especially in Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, have experienced a serious drought. Crops (庄稼) died, the land cracked(裂开), and wells (井) and rivers dried up. More than 20 million people are having difficulty in finding safe drinking water.
After learning about the drought, many people around the country helped by giving water, money and other things.
Last week, every member of the Communist Youth League (共青团员) and Young Pioneers(少先队员) were encouraged to give one bottle of water to the drought-hit areas. Students in primary schools and middle schools quickly joined the activity. In Yuhua Primary School in Xi' an, 900 students bought over 1,000 bottles of water with their pocket money. They also wrote their wishes on the bottles.
The serious drought has also made students realize the importance of saving water. Students from Nanshan Middle School in Huizhou, Guangdong went on the street to tell people to take part in water-saving activities.
“I've heard that some children in drought-hit areas don't have enough drinking water. They have to drink muddy (含有泥土的) water. I feel really sad about that," said one student. “I decide to take a shower twice a week instead of every day to save water,” he said.

About six million children die of hunger every year. So think about it. We should say no to people who waste food every day. An old saying goes,"Every grain on the plate comes from hard work." It tells us everybody must save food.
Luckily,a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Jiangsu, once lost her job because she took some leftover（剩余）food home for her son. But many people were by her side and criticized（批评）the waste of food.

【推荐1】Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code. “ We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate (使产生) the codes, and in the end everything gets easier,” said Guo. “When students finish the homework, they keep it on We Chat. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work anywhere using my computer or telephone.”
The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and We Chat. When Guo scans (扫描) his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos.
Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun,” said Ting Ting, a student of Guo’s.
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share,” Guo said. “It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the codes when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.

In the 19th century, telegraph(电报) was invented, but it was not widely used, letter is still the main method at that time. In 1836, John Coker invented the first electromagnetic telegraph(电磁电报机) in the world, then telegraph came into being and was popular, which was much faster than letter, bringing great convenient to people.
As time goes by, telephones become increasingly widely used. Now, the phone has been developed as mobile phone, fixed telephone, Internet telephone and other categories, being an essential communication tool in modern information society.
In addition, network communication is popular as well. It is especially widely welcomed by the youths. A great number of people communicate with others on the Internet by using software, such as email, QQ, WeChat, bbs, MSN and so on. Using software is easy. A computer which is connected to the network is enough. In China, WeChat has become the most popular communication software nowadays.

People can make video calls that not only can hear the sound, but also can see the people you talk to.

My 100 Days Without a Mobile Phone
When was the last time you left home without your mobile phone? Can you imagine yourself living a month, or even a year without checking your mobile phone from time to time?
As a busy modern person with lots of social connections, plans and responsibilities, I just cannot afford to not be in touch with the rest of the world. Staying connected to other people is a big part of my life. However, sometimes it can be bothered (恼人的).
One day I discovered I was terribly tired out. I tried turning notices off. But the fear of missing out something important made me check the phone more often than before. So, I simply stopped using my phone.
Well, to tell the truth, it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days, I had a big fear that all of my friends would soon forget about me. When I had a free moment, I had no idea what to get myself distracted (分心的) with, and the worries mixed with boredom (无聊) kept bothering me.
However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing changes — changes which I liked, and which drove me to not just continue the experiment, but in fact to organize some of my habits again.
First of all, I noticed that I became much more focused (专注的). Before, while doing something, I would often find myself wondering what was going on online. After a month of staying away from my mobile phone, I found that the urge (冲动) was already not so strong and that my ability to focus improved.
I discovered that the world is a beautiful place. Before, I would look at it through my camera mostly: take a photo, post it, get some likes. Now, I saw beautiful people walking around and I felt the seasons change. I could understand the actual beauty of the world, and I did not need anyone else to prove the value of this beauty through likes or shares.
Now, as 100 days have passed, I can say that the experiment was worth it. I am planning to stay away from my phone for as long as possible.
