【推荐1】My daughter Eyen is ten years old. She is in Grade Three in a primary school. She is a cute girl though（虽然）she has some strange ideas sometimes.

One day she asks me, “Mum, what is your favourite subject?” I think for a while and answer, “It is difficult to tell. I love singing, so music is my favourite. I am good at English and my PE teacher also says I am excellent. Well, I can say I don’t like science. But science is important for us, you know. So you must do well in it. What is your favourite subject, Eyen? Tell me something about your subjects, dear.”

“I like Chinese. It is easy. I like English because my English teacher likes me very much. I can’t stand（忍受）Maths. It is serious（严肃的）and sad.”

“Do you mean your Maths teacher is serious and sad?”

“No, it is Maths, not the Maths teacher.”

“Why do you think so?”

“Because Maths has so many problems（问题）! Isn’t it sad all day?”

【推荐2】Like many foreigners, I only knew two words of Chinese (“hello” and “thank you”) when I came to China in 2009. As you can probably guess, my life was difficult for a while after I arrived. Simple tasks like ordering food or taking a taxi were quite stressful.

I knew I had to learn more Chinese, so I signed up for classes. My teacher was very helpful, although I didn’t learn enough to have a real conversation. Later, I studied on my own as well, but my progress was still slow. I became very frustrated.

Finally, I found that the best way to learn Chinese is to make friends with native speakers and spend time with them. Around this time, I started playing in a band with a Chinese girl who became one of my best friends in Beijing. I learned a lot of Chinese by hanging out with her. For example, she taught me a lot of words about music. She also learned a lot of English from me in return, so it was a good way to exchange language and culture.

I’ve learned enough Chinese to take care of a few difficult tasks, such as booking train tickets and speaking with my friends. However, visits to the bank and anything else about technical language are still not easy for me.

These days, there are more foreigners than ever who are studying Chinese. I can understand why: It’s a fascinating language and there are always new words waiting to be discovered.

【推荐1】Many children think mobile phones are cool. They come in fun colours and let you talk with a friend anytime and anywhere.

In the U.S., more than 90 million people use mobile phones. Many of those people are children. For children, mobile phones are more than phone calls. They are fashionable.

Most mobile phone users don't think about the health problems caused by mobile phones. Some scientists say that mobile phones give off radiation(辐射) that might be bad for users. One recent study shows that mobile phone radiation might raise a person's chance of getting some kinds of cancer(癌症). Other scientists say mobile phones don't threaten people's health. They say that they have not found any link(联系) between mobile phone use and cancer.

Scientists say that people can protect themselves from mobile phone radiation. One way is to use a headset(耳机). Or people can make shorter calls.
