【推荐3】Copenhagen is a city full of fairy tales (童话故事). If you want to explore it, you have to spend a long time and walk slower to enjoy yourself. Copenhagen was the first city to have a street for walkers only. The city has less traffic noise and pollution than any other European capital.

Walking along the river banks, you'll see the Amalienborg Palace first. The king's family is living there.

Churches and castles show us the original (最初的) city. Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in 1445. But fires in 1728 and 1795 completely destroyed (摧毁) the old wooden buildings. Much of what we see today dates back to (追溯到) the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Keep going, and you'll see the Christiansborg Palace. The town of Copenhagen began there. Then you will see Nyhavn (尼哈芬), a waterway, which was dug in 1673.When you see it, you'll understand why Hans Christian Andersen made this beautiful waterway his home. Nyhavn is a peaceful and wonderful place. You'll usually see some rich people walk along here.

【推荐2】It seems that deliverymen (外卖员) are always in a rush. They wear blue, red or yellow helmets and many of them don’t follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving.

However, not everything goes well with them. In the first half of last year, seventy-six traffic accidents in total about deliverymen happened in Shanghai. That means every two and a half days, a deliveryman will get hurt or even lose his or her life on the road.

“What makes deliverymen take such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery service and the impatient customers are the two reasons. Many companies (公司) will fine a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan if he fails to be on time,” reported by China Daily. Fines also go to those who get bad comments from customers.

“To solve this serious problem, delivery service companies need to improve their management systems and also some rules or laws should be made to avoid deliverymen breaking traffic rules,” according to CRI Online. Some cities have already taken actions. For example, some companies in Shanghai have set some courses for their deliverymen to study traffic rules. In Shenzhen, if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice, he will be banned (禁止) from driving the electronic bike for a whole year.

【推荐1】My class will put on a short play in English at the end of the year. Yesterday our English teacher gave us copies of the play.

“Choose a character in the play whom you’d like to be,” she told us. “This afternoon learn a few lines(台词) of this part for homework. Then tomorrow you can say those lines in front of the class. I’ll decide who play each part.”

I wanted to have one of the bigger parts in the play, so I choose the part of the king. He has a lot of lines to say. I learned them by heart.

This morning in our English lesson we had to say our lines. I acted the part of the king. When I said my lines, I put a lot of expression into my acting. I thought I acted really well. Everyone in the class read a part and then the teacher decided who would play each part. Many of the students in my class couldn’t act at all. They couldn’t even read without making lots of mistakes. I was sure that I would get a big part in the play.

However, the teacher gave me the part of a soldier. He has only one line. It is, “Yes, sir!”

I was very disappointed. At the end of the lesson I went up to her and asked her why I had such a small part.

“You put too much expression in your acting,” she said. “Good acting is not big acting. It is acting the audience can believe in.”

I think I know what she means.

【推荐2】A farmer lost an expensive gold watch in the barn(谷仓) on the farm. He looked for it everywhere but couldn’t find it.

【推荐2】Once, there was a little tree. One day, he looked around and saw the bigger trees. “They all look taller than me,” thought the little tree to himself. He thought it was the soil’s(土壤的)fault. So he lifted up his roots and moved over to the part of the garden which he thought had better soil.

【推荐3】When you have good friends, the best way to get to know them better is to have a sleepover(睡衣派对). A sleepover usually includes having a party and sleeping next to your good friends all night.

In the UK, friends have sleepovers very often. Some have them once every weekend or just once every month. When you want to have a sleepover with your friends, your parents can call or text your friends’ parents to ask about a suitable date. Then, you have to arrange(安排) whose house you'll stay at — your own or your friends’ house. The last step is to finish your homework before you get together with your friends so you can enjoy your time together.

But there is one problem: What if the parents don't want so many children to be in the house all day? Well, parents can find somewhere to take the children. It could be a park, a swimming pool, a theater or just somewhere down the road.

There are many fun games you can play with your friends at a sleepover. You can have a water fight in the garden. You can play hide-and-seek in the house.
