Hello, boys and girls. My name is Li Jing who is a boy. I am thirteen years old. I think as students, we should work hard at school on weekdays. So I always study hard when I am at school, but on my day off (放假) I often do something else to relax myself.

I had a very relaxing day off. In the morning, I got up at seven o’clock. Then I went to run with my father. I think we need to exercise every day. After running, I took a shower and had breakfast. At nine o’clock, I went to the zoo with my friends. We saw some pandas and lions there. Pandas are cute and lions are scary. In the shop, we bought many gifts. We had great fun there.

In the afternoon, my parents took me to see my grandparents. They lived in the beautiful countryside. They were very happy to see me. I talked with my grandfather for long and he told me many interesting things about him. My grandmother cooked lots of delicious food for us.

In the evening, I watched TV with my cousins. We watched an exciting basketball match. We were glad when we saw our favorite team in the match.

What a happy day off I had! I hope all of you can have an interesting day off!

Laura Mills, a girl from London, lost her wallet and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She had to walk three miles to school every day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking, “If I tell my parents that I lost my wallet, they’ll be angry!” But at last, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. They told their daughter, “It doesn’t matter. Please be more careful next time.” “I will always remember to share my problems in the future,” Laura decided.

So from the story we can learn that when we meet some problems, we should find someone we trust and share with them. We can talk to our parents, because they have more experience, and they are always there to help us.

【推荐2】Students are often very busy. It is difficult for them to get away from bad eating habits. But having a healthy diet (饮食) can help them to feel better. It isn’t really hard to get started.

________ When there isn’t enough time to sit down and enjoy your breakfast, just have a piece of bread and some juice. You can keep some of these things in your room.

________ Choose pizza with less cheese. Don’t eat French fries or fried chicken too much, because there is a lot of fat in them.

________ If you like to eat some snacks, you can choose snacks such as fresh fruit.

Thank you for coming today to attend the graduation ceremony at No.3 Junior High School. First of all, I’d like to congratulate all the students who are here today. I remember meeting all of you when you were just starting Grade 7 at this school. You were all so full of energy and thirsty for knowledge. And yes, some of you were a little difficult to deal with! But today I see a room full of talented young adults who are full of hope for the future. You’ve all grown up so much and I’m so proud of you.

Although you’ve all worked very hard over the last three years, none of you did it alone. I hope you’ll remember the important people in your lives who helped and supported you—your parents, your teachers, your friends. Please consider what they’ve done for you and what they mean to you. Never fail to be thankful to the people around you.

Lastly, the end of junior high school is the beginning of a new life. I don’t need to tell you that life in senior high school will be harder and that you have many difficult tasks ahead of you. You’ll make mistakes along the way, but the key is to learn from your mistakes and never give up. But along with difficulties, there will also be many exciting things waiting for you. Behind each door you open are chances to learn new things, and you have the ability to make your own choices. Choose wisely and be responsible for your decisions and actions. Although you have to go your separate ways now, I hope that in a few years’ time, you’ll come back to visit our school. As you set out on your new journey, you shouldn’t forget where you came from. The future is yours. Good luck and hope to see you again sometime soon!
