【推荐3】Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can’t open the windows. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to go out of the airport and into the city.

I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.

I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

【推荐2】Are you losing sleep because you have tests and schoolwork to do? Do you get angry about little things? It’s called stress (精神压力). Stress is a natural feeling. It happens when people are worried (担忧) or have too many things to do.

Sometimes stress can be helpful. It pushes (促使) people to do their best. For example, you react (反应) quickly when your teacher calls you in class. Or you may feel stressed before a big test, so you study harder.

However, too much stress for a long time is bad for people’s health. You may find that you cannot learn well in class, and it is difficult to remember things. You even don’t feel interested in your favorite activities anymore.

At that time, it is important to relax. Enjoying your favorite music, doing exercise and reading books are good ways to do that. If you cannot deal with (处理) the stress, just ask your parents or teachers for help. You may feel better when you share your problems with them.

【推荐3】American boys and girls love to watch television. Some children spend six hours a day in school and four to six hours a day in front of the television set. Some even watch television for eight hours or more on Saturday.

Televisions are like books or films. A child can learn bad things and good things from them. Some programmes help children to understand the news, others show people and places from other countries or other time in history.
