Hi! I’m Tina Smith and I’m thirteen years old. I live in Quebec with my parents, two little brothers, Peter and Mike, and a clever dog Blacky.
The city we live in is really beautiful. In winter it often snows and you can see the snow in the streets and on the houses. When the temperature（气温）is lower than thirty-five degrees（度数）below zero we don’t go to school but stay at home. It is very, very cold! Sometimes there are heavy snowstorms and you can’t see anything. There are often very cold winds and it is difficult to stay in the streets for a long time. That’s why we wear warm coats, hats and scarves not to freeze（冻结）.
I like winter when the weather isn’t very cold. Then we go outdoors, make snowmen, play snowballs, skate or ski. But sometimes I hope to live in a warm country.

【推荐1】Have you ever been to Thailand? It is a country in Southeast Asia. I’ve been in Thailand for a few days with my parents. We are here for a holiday.
Now we are staying in Bangkok. It is the capital of Thailand and it is a very interesting place to visit. Yesterday we visited some places of interest in the city. They are great! This morning we went shopping. Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry（珠宝）and clothes. My mother bought a nice necklace（项链）. My father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts.
Thailand is called “Land of Smiles” because people here are very friendly. And it’s true! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok, the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling. Thai food is delicious, but it is sometimes a little spicy（辛辣的）for me. You can also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came to live in Bangkok many years ago. Chinese food is very good, and it isn’t as spicy as Thai food. Our American food can also be found in Bangkok. However, I don’t eat it. You know, I’d like to try new things when I travel.
The weather has been very hot. Yesterday it rained and got a little cooler. But today it’s hot again.

In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were not many people on earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.
Today, things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue like this, human life on earth will not survive.
Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet, we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea, and there are few laws to stop this.
We know, too, that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there will not be enough food.
What can we do to solve these problems?
If we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.
The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.
Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future.
