Sometimes they eat it two or three times a day, for breakfast, lunch and supper. They usually eat it with meat, fish and vegetables. Japanese people like eating fish and rice. So they make different kinds of seafood sushi (寿司). They are delicious. Now Chinese people also like eating sushi very much. There’s a famous sushi restaurant called Sumo Sushi. In western countries, the most important food is bread and potatoes. And people there cook potatoes in different ways.

Do you feel nervous when you talk to your parents? (A) _______ (你容易惹他们生气吗?) Don’t worry. Here is some advice about how to talk to your parents.
Find the common interests between you and your parents. For example, if you and your dad both like playing basketball, you can watch one game together and talk about it. You can find the conversation will come easily.
Try to start a dinnertime talk with your parents. Ask your parents about their day, and they will open up to you easily. Don’t forget that you have to open up to them, too. Tell them what happened at school. Besides, it’s also a good idea to share something about the latest movies.
Look at your parents when you talk. Eye contact (交流) is necessary. Don’t be bored, or they will probably stop talking and walk away. Let them know you’re listening. If you listen patiently, there will be a warm conversation between you and your parents.

Bitwalking (比特步行) is an invention by a small company in London. To make people walk more, this new app on the mobile phone is paying people, based on their daily walking steps.
With this app (应用程序), walkers can earn (赚得) one “Bitwalking dollar” for about 10,000 steps (about eight kilometres). Three Bitwalking dollars can be earned by one person per day at most. The money people earned can be spent on online shopping sites or exchanged for cash (现金) .
One idea behind the app is to make people healthier. But the designers also have another goal: to improve people’s lives. In poor countries, people have to walk far to work, or to school, or simply to collect water. Workers in the countryside earn less than one dollar a day. By walking around with the Bitwalking app, they could earn three times more.
The company has also set up Bitwalking centres in some poor areas. At the centres, local people will learn how to use the Bitwalking dollars or trade (交易) them for cash. Bitwalking is really helping to change lives.

My book report by Ivy Tang  This book is for children. It is about the oceans. It tells us about different kinds of water pollution and the things we can do to keep the oceans clean. It also tells us about the different ways we can save water. In this book, Simon Walker said, ‘Three quarters of the Earth is water. For thousands of years, the oceans have helped us by giving us food and water. Now, we are feeding them with dirty water from factories and rubbish from our homes. Now, the oceans are crying because they are very sick. Please help save them. ’ You can see many wonderful photographs of the oceans in this book. There are also beautiful photographs of sea animals like whales and sea horses. You can also see photographs of the famous pink dolphins. I think it is a very interesting and useful book. |
