【推荐1】Look at the bus. It’s a little different from other buses. It’s black and white, and has two black “ears” on the top, just like a panda. The lights（灯）of the bus are its “eyes”. This is the popular Panda Bus in China. The bus is 12 meters long and there are 23 seats on it.

The Panda Bus is popular not just because of its cute looks. You can also find something cool when you get on it.

First of all, it’s very easy for people to buy tickets. They don’t need to use their phones or bus cards. All they need are their hands. They can buy tickets just by scanning（扫描）their hands. In this way, people can also buy drinks and food on the bus. There is a vending machine（自动贩卖机）in the middle of the bus.

Another surprise is the small computer on the back of each seat. People can choose to watch a movie on the way. How interesting! So, it’s comfortable for people to take the bus. Most importantly, the bus is driverless. There is no driver on the bus and it usually runs a little slower than other buses.

There are over ten cities in China having the Panda Bus, such as Tianjin, Shanghai and Jinan. Would you like to take such a bus to go to school?

【推荐2】My holiday is coming. Yesterday I asked my friends about the best way to travel in the USA. They said the best way was to go by bus and told me the reasons.

To fly, of course, is the fastest way, but you can’t see anything during your stay in the air but the blue sky and white clouds. So it’s not very interesting to you. And the cost is very high.

To travel by train is relaxing, because you can walk and buy food and drinks on it. You can also see cities and the countryside through the windows. But sometimes it’s crowded on the train. And it’s hard to buy train tickets during holidays.

To travel by bus is easy, cheap and convenient, though not so fast as travelling by plane or so comfortable as by train. You can find buses almost in every city, big or small. That makes travel easy.

I took their advice. So I decided to take a bus to the south coast for an interesting trip.

Look at the bus. It is a little different from other buses. It’s black and white, and has two black “ears” on the top, just like a giant panda. The lights of the bus are its “eyes” . This is the popular Panda Bus in China. It is twelve meters long and there are twenty-three seats on it.

The Panda Bus is popular not just because of its cute looks. You can also find something cool when you get on it. First of all, it’ s very easy for people to buy tickets. They don’ t need to use their phones or bus cards like before. They can buy tickets just by scanning (扫描) their hands. In this way, people can also buy drinks and food on the bus. There is a vending machine (自动贩卖机) in the middle of the bus. Another surprise is the small computer on the back of each seat. People can choose to watch a movie on the way. How interesting! There are also some cameras on the bus. If someone steals things, these cameras will catch them. So, it’ s safe and comfortable for people to take the bus. Most importantly, the bus is driverless. It can stop at lights and park at the stop all by itself. It only needs someone to watch all the way just in case (以防万一). And it usually runs a little slower than other buses.

By the end of 2021, there had been over ten cities in China having the Panda Bus, such as Tianjin, Shanghai and Jinan.

【推荐3】There are twenty-four solar terms（节气）in China, and the Grain Rain（谷雨）is one of them. It is in spring. And it is usually on or around April 20 every year.

This solar term is called the Grain Rain because it is known for “rain” that helps the grain grow. From its name, we can guess it means a time of more rain. So you may need to bring an umbrella with you when you go out. Or you may get wet.

But this is a great time for planting crops. When the spring rainfalls, farmers begin to grow crops. Farmers often say, “Spring rain is as precious as oil.” It brings farmers hope for a good year ahead.

People also have special activities at this time. In the northern part of China, people like to eat Chinese toon with eggs. The food made in the time of Grain Rain tastes wonderful. And it is a kind of healthy food. In South China, the tea leaves are picked. They are called Grain Rain tea. Drinking tea at this time of year has also become a tradition in these places.

【推荐3】E-waste is fast becoming a serious problem around the world. This report will examine this problem and provide some possible ways to solve it.

We live in a society that is producing and using electronics all the time. It is often cheaper to buy new products than to repair old ones. Also, through clever advertising, companies always encourage people to change their old TVs, mobile phones and computers for the latest models. E-waste is created when we throw away old ones. In the EU alone, about 8,700,000 tons of e-waste is produced each year. Sadly, just over 1,000,000 tons is recycled.

Burying（填埋) e-waste or burning it cause serious problems for the environment. Electronics have dangerous things in them. These things can then get into the ground or pollute the air when they are burnt.

In recent years, many countries have started recycling e-waste. However, their plans are not always managed properly. Sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana. Here they are often burnt in public areas, which is very bad for people's health. Setting up recycling centers is a good way to solve this problem. E-cycling centers could recycle the parts that can be reused and deal with the rest properly.

Another way is to make producers responsible for their used products. This means that producers must take back old products. They should then make sure old products are properly recycled or reused.

As for us, we should try to reduce e-waste. Change electronics only when we have to. And don't buy a product just to have the latest model.

E-waste is a serious problem in the modern world. Both producers and users must take actions and try to keep it to the smallest amount.
