Monday 12th

Wind from southwest. We sailed（航行）300 km. We took the net early this morning and they were almost full. Everyone was very happy except Ron. Because his mother was ill. While he was sending a message to his mother, suddenly, some of our food fell off the ship and it was impossible to get it back.

Wednesday 14th

Wind from south. During the night, the ship moved 190 km northwest in the storm. The storm was dying down in the afternoon when we made sure everything was working.

【推荐3】Hearst Castle is in California, America. A person called William Randolph Hearst built it between 1922 and 1939, at a cost of more than $30 million. Last year, I had a trip to that castle.
I spent the whole day looking around. But there was much to see, and a day wasn’t enough. Hearst Castle has four houses. The main house, “Casa Grande”, is the biggest one. Visitors can live in the other three ones. Many of them are Hollywood film stars, and they often come to the parties there.
At Hearst Castle, there are also beautiful gardens and two swimming pools, one inside and a larger one outside. I loved the one outside, the “Neptune Pool”. It was a pity that we couldn’t go swimming there!
The guide told us that Mr. Hearst travelled around Europe with his mother at the age of ten and looked at paintings and castles. He never forgot that tour and wanted his house to look like a castle. When Mr Hearst died in 1951, his family gave Hearst Castle to the people of California. Now it’s a museum.

【推荐1】Dear Jim,

You know that I am always looking for new ways to make money. Well, this term I have a good idea. Lots of my neighbours are looking for someone to help with their gardens. It's the perfect job.

By Saturday, I have three gardening jobs. The first job goes very well. I cut the grass and clean up the garden. Mrs. brown is very happy. She pays me 10 pounds. My next job is hard work. Mrs. Jones has a big garden and it's very untidy. But when I finish, she pays me 20 pounds.

My last job is at my next-door neighbor's house. She asks me to clean the garden, and make a fire with the rubbish. Unluckily, her garden shed catches fire too. I don't have enough money, so my parents have to pay for a new garden shed.

You may find this hard to believe, but I am doing more gardening jobs next week. I will do my work more carefully so that I won't make any mistakes anymore.

【推荐2】A lady has a problem with her daughter.
“My nine-year-old daughter is in Grade Four. Every evening we get into an argument about her homework. Three afternoons a week, she has activities (netball, singing) after school and when we get home, homework is the last thing she likes doing.

When Maria at last sat down to do her homework, she seemed to want me to be there all the time. But I had something else to do. It seems that children these days have much more homework than we did, and some of it is really difficult for them.

【推荐3】Put 2 February in your diary! It is World Wetlands Day! It marks the date that the Convention(公约) on Wetlands was signed(签署)in1971.This special day was first celebrated in 1997 and it is celebrated every year.
The celebration is a call for action. It is a way to show people how important and useful the wetlands are for people. On World Wetlands Day, people around the world take part in many wetlands activities.
The World Wetlands Day is important! If there are no wetlands, there will be no water for anyone in the future. Wetlands help protect nature and resources(资源)like fresh water. Already, more than 10000 million people in the world do not have fresh water.

It is much harder for them to understand how important the animals in the wetlands are. These small animals, such as frogs and snails, play a very important part in keeping the balance of nature.
All plants and animals are part of the food chain(链).If the small wetlands animals die, some animals in the food chain will have nothing to eat. They will also die. People need the wetlands to keep the balance of nature in the world. If we do not protect nature today，it will be gone tomorrow.
