I live in a beautiful city. Many visitors come to my city every year because there are so many colorful peacocks(孔雀) here.

The peacocks mostly live on the grassland of Dongfeng Square. Visitors usually throw food to them, but they don’t think about at all whether the food is good or not. Some of the peacocks became ill, and some even died after eating the bad food given by visitors.

I’m sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds, but they don’t realize that they may be doing them harm (伤害). Visitors should be told that what they have done is harmful to the birds, and this kind of thing must be stopped.

Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacocks food. For us every person, it is our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds to look after them carefully.

                                                                                                              Yours,

                                                                                                              Wang Yang

Just think about your life today: Do you have your breakfast? Read a newspaper? Turn on a light? Travel to work in a bus or car? Do your homework? Write on your notebook? Clean your hands with a tissue (纸巾)?

Forest products are used in our daily lives. All the activities above have something to do with forests. Some are easy to point out—fruits, paper and wood from trees, and so on. Others are not obvious(明显的). They help make daily products like medicine. They not only help make our lives easier but also make our Earth more beautiful and comfortable.

Forests help protect the sea and the Earth. However, we are losing them. Over the past 50 years, about 50% forests in the world have been lost. The most important reason for that is people’s activities (活动) like polluting the environment and cutting down trees.

When we destroy (破坏) the forests, we not only lose the trees. All the animals in the forests will also lose their homes. As this goes on, it’ll be harder for us to live on the Earth.

Trees help other plants grow. Tree roots (树根) hold the soil in place. They keep the wind from blowing away the soil. Leaves on the ground keep rainwater from running off. Trees near farms can help to stop strong winds.

Once there were hundreds of farms in the northwest of the US. Then the farms turned into fields of dry land. This was because few trees grow there.

Now we try to save trees. In many places, when a tree is cut down, a new tree is planted in its place. We don’t want the land to die.

After getting on the bus, people only need to buy their tickets by scanning（扫描） their hands! About one minute later, the bus begins its self-driving mode. When the traffic lights turn red or when it reaches the bus stop, it stops automatically. There is also a robot on the bus. People can talk to it and ask it for help. If there is a bad person on the bus, the robot will call the police. “It’ s very convenient.” says a woman taking the bus. “And kids love it.”

A company called Deep Blue Technology makes this kind of buses. They’ re working in ten cities all over China. More cities in China will put this kind of buses into use this year. I think soon you can take the bus in your city.

Now smart buses are no longer buses in the future. Would you like to take a ride on the smart bus?

In Chinese lunar calendar there are 24 solar terms (节 气) in a year. Start of Summer means the coming of a new season—summer. And it begins on May 5th this year. The temperature rises quickly during this time. Here are three things about how Chinese celebrate the Start of Summer.

Checking one’s weight. The habit of weighing people at the Start of Summer is still popular in some places of China today. It’s said that this practice will bring health and good luck to the people weighed.

Eating eggs. In the old days, Chinese people believed a round egg was a symbol of a happy life and eating eggs on the day of Start of Summer was a good wish for good health. People put tea into the boiling water together with eggs to make “tea eggs”. Today it has become a local snack in many places of China.

Taking care of the heart. According to the Chinese traditional medicine, Start of Summer is a key time to protect the heart. When it grows hot, heat can affect health. So people prefer food such as fruit and vegetables.

For primary school students, watching TV can make them understand the important events at home and abroad, open their eyes, and get knowledge. Besides, they are stressed out at school. At home, it is very necessary to relax. And watching TV is a very good way. When some programs are educational, they have both fun and knowledge. TV gives primary school students the growth and development of brains. We asked 1,000 pupils from different schools. The following are the results of the survey about what kind of TV programs pupils prefer.

In modern society, it is impossible and it is not necessary to stop children from watching TV. But to guide them to choose good programs, to choose proper time, and even to see the suitable programs together, you can spend time with them, discuss with them, and use entertainment to train your child’s mind and enrich your child’s emotions (情感).

Ways to guide children:

※ We should go into the world of students, find out their preferences and teach them what to see.

※ Educate pupils to develop good viewing habits and teach them how to look at them.

※ To teach students to reflect (反思) and to extend (扩展) the meaning of educational TV programs.
