Most children know it’s not a good habit but they still want to eat it. Some of them eat this kind of food every day. Some only eat it two or three times a week.

I know a boy called Jack. He is kind of unhealthy. He hardly ever exercises. And he eats a lot of junk food because he loves it. When he has pocket money (零用钱), he’ll buy junk food.

【推荐1】A loud noise wakes Jan up suddenly. What time is it? She looks at the alarm clock beside the bed. It’s five o’clock. Then she hears the noise again. It’s thunder. Then she hears a different noise. It’s the sound of something hitting the window. She gets up and goes to the window. She can see Tom standing outside in the thunderstorm. He’s shouting at Jan, telling her to come outside.

Jan gets dressed, puts on her anorak and goes downstairs quietly. She meets Tom outside.

“What are you doing, Tom?”

“The storm,” he says. “It’s the same storm as Thursday night. Let’s go to the tree. Maybe you can go home!”

Jan follows Tom down the road then she remembers something.

“The time capsule!”

Tom shows her the biscuit tin under his jacket. “I’ve got it.”

They walk quickly back down the road past Jamie’s house and Pauly’s house. It seems so long since she arrived here in the past. And now maybe there’s the possibility she can return to the future. They run up the path through the trees and arrive at the piece of land with the apple tree.

“Now what do we do?” asks Jan.

“I put the time capsule back where I found it and....”

“And I go home.”

“Yes.”

Tom uses his hands to dig a hole by the tree. He buries the time capsule and then stands up.

Jan suddenly realizes something.

“Tom! I wanted to give you something from the time capsule.”

“No, it’s OK. I don’t want anything and it’s more important for you to go home.”

Jan feels disappointed that Tom doesn’t want something to remember her. But he’s right. The important thing is to get home.

“I’m never going to forget you, Tom. Thanks. You’re a real friend.”

“Bye, Jan. Look for me in the future. Promise?”

“I promise.”

Then he turns and runs back to the trees. Jan watches his shadow disappear into the trees. A sudden flash of lightning lights up the scene followed by a loud crash of thunder. Jan looks round and sees her house. She’s back in the garden of her house in Hampton Street.

【推荐2】When I was in the seventh grade, I was shy and quiet, so I was easily bullied (被欺负). I used to get very sad about it.

In an art lesson, just while the teacher was out, a big boy took away my pencil case, threw it across the classroom and sat back down. Later on, he took my schoolbag and pulled it towards him. I pulled back the schoolbag from his hand and for the first time, I pushed him away and hit him on the back. In the rest of lesson, I was nervous. I did nothing but imagined what would happen next.

Then the teacher came to me, “Peter, are you OK?” “Yes,” I answered.

“No, you are not. Come to my office after class,” he said.

There we had a long talk. He made me smile and I became confident again. He taught me some life lessons, and said, “Get up, and don’t be a bully (欺凌弱小的人) yourself, but remember you are stronger inside, and if the bullies see this, they will stop.”

I remember these words. From then on, every time I walked to school, I put my head high on the way, and the bullying soon stopped.

【推荐3】There are many charities (慈善) in the UK. People in London give £2 billion a year to charity. Most people in the UK give money once a month. People usually give money to children and young people, to make new medicines, and to schools, animals and hospitals. Most people still give money in cash (现金).

Charity shops pay managers to work in the shops, but other people, called volunteers, work there and are not paid. People can give their old clothes, toys, books and other things that they don’t use any more to charity shops. The volunteers then wash the things to make sure they are clean before selling them. The money that they get from selling things always goes to a charity. Many people believe that you can find some special things cheaply in charity shops; you just have to know where to look!

Another way to give money to charity is by running or riding a bike in a charity race. You can ask your friends and family to give money to help you and the charity. Sometimes they give you money for every kilometer that you finish.

1. People in the UK give £2 billion a year to charity.
