Most plants grow in dirt (泥土). In my school in Vermont, US, we are learning how to grow plants in water. We put food for the plants in the water. Scientists have grown plants in this way. This can help countries that don’t have much land. Farmers can use water to help themselves grow more food.

I am a reporter in England even though I am nine years old! I am a member of a news group that is run by young people. We decide what to write about. Then we talk with people. Our stories are in newspapers, on websites, and on the radio.

Many people in my country, France, love to ski. Some schools in France teach people who are disabled how to ski. These people can take part in special races, too. This way, everyone can have fun in the snow!
