【推荐1】How do you go to school? Do you walk or take a bus? For many students, it is easy to get to school. But for some children in one small village in Hunan, it is very difficult. There is no road (路) between the village and the school. The children have to climb down ladders (爬下梯子) to get to school.

Yu Xinxin is an 8-year-old girl. She climbs the ladders every day. “My parents are good at it and they tell me how to do it, and now I don’t think too much (太多) about how high it is,” she says.

It is hard for the villagers to get in and out of the village, too. Their dream is to have a road.

【推荐3】There are many wide roads in the cities.     1     They can walk or ride a bike to school. They can get to school by bus or even by subway. They won’t spend too long to get to school and go back home.     2     It’s difficult for them to get to school. Usually they will spend a few hours on the way.

In one small village, there is a big river between the school and the village. Because the river runs too quickly, the students can’t get to school by boat.     3     It’s dangerous for students to cross the river, but they are not afraid.     4     How eagerly (迫切地) they hope to have a bridge!

【推荐1】Playing video games and getting money for it seems like a dream job for many of today’s teenagers. But is it all fun and games?

Pro (professional) gaming is certainly big business. In 2017, there were more than 3, 000 gaming competitions and over 10, 000 professional players worldwide. A large number of people watch their competitions online, and successful gamers can get more than 1, 000, 000 dollars from prize money and ads. The industry is thriving.

Becoming a professional is not just about being good at playing games—it also takes a lot of hard work. Some pro gamers practice for fourteen hours a day. “You need to spend much time and put all your effort into it”, says exgamer George.

It can be a difficult job as well. Stress is a big problem for gamers. Tiredness is another, and injuries are common. Top player Hai Lam had wrist problems after years of pro gaming. Careers are short, and many gamers retire before they get 30 and try to find another job.

Swimming is very popular in summer. People like swimming in summer because water makes them feel cool. If you swim in a wrong place, it may not be safe. These years, more than ten people died in this city. They were enjoying in the water and most of them were drowned (淹死). But some people are still not careful in swimming. They often think they swim so well that nothing can happen to them in water. Summer is here again. If you go swimming, don’t forget that better swimmers have died in water. They died because they were not careful, not because they were not good at swimming. So don’t get into water when you are alone. If there is “No swimming” sign, don’t get into water, either. If you remember all this, swimming will be safer.
