1 . Healthy eating is very important for our health. We should build healthy eating habits. We should eat different kinds of vegetables and fruits every day. Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating.
Eat with others. It can help you to see others’ eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.
Listen to your body (身体). Ask yourself if (是否) you are really hungry (饿). Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty (渴) — sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.
Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don’t eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter (更聪明) after eating breakfast.
Eat healthy snacks (零食) like fruits, yogurt (酸奶) or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn’t mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.
Don’t eat dinner late. With our busy life, we always put off (推迟) eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest (消化) most of the food before you rest for the next 8 to 10 hours.
As you can see, having a healthy eating habit is important for everyone. Let’s have a healthy eating habit and lead a happy life.

2 . The development of AI (人工智能) is a hot topic these days. AI makes it possible for machines to learn from experience and perform human-like tasks. But what is the future of AI? Will it be a good thing? Students are talking about it.
I think AI will be more useful in our future lives. It’s now used in many fields like phones and medicine. No one really knows what will happen if machines become smarter than humans. However, I’m sure AI will help us solve problems. Tina | I am worried that people will create something that can be better than themselves. In the near future, AI will develop at a high speed. Humans may be replaced because AI robots will do lots of human jobs. Bill |
I really think that AI will change the way we work, the way we live, and the way we think. Imagine if we could put a CPU (中央处理器) into our brains! Soon we’ll be able to improve our math and memory. How exciting! Mary | Think of what’s happening right now. Some robots are used to kill animals under human orders. So I think AI will be very dangerous for humans.

 How to learn English well. | |
 | Well, I don’t know how you all feel, but I find English really difficult. There are just so many new words to remember. My problem is that I can’t remember all the new words. I’m so worried about it. How can I improve my English? |
 | Don’t worry, Li Ping. I think it’s very useful to make word lists for different topics. For example, you can make lists for fruit, vegetables and animals. Then you can review them whenever you have time. The more you review, the better you will remember! |
 | I’m learning English and I feel frustrated. English grammar rules are really confusing. Sometimes I know all the words in a sentence but I still can’t understand the whole sentence. I become nervous when I speak English, too. What should I do? |
 | Don’t give up, David. As for grammar rules, I’ve used pictures and tables to help me, for example with verb tenses. I’ve also tried to put difficult structures into songs, but I think the best way to remember grammar rules is to use them. These methods work well for me. You can have a try. |

Imagine you have a desk with built-in storage for your school things, but you may find there is no enough room for all your books. Your desk may get untidy. Here are some steps to clean out your school desk.
Taking everything out of your desk
Place things on top of the desk first. In this way, you can see what you have. You may have to pile (堆) things up a little bit, but that’s okay for now. If you don’t have quite enough room on top of your desk, you can put some of the things on your chair, on the floor, or on a nearby table.
Sorting (整理) everything into piles
These piles could be textbooks, notebooks, graded papers and supplies like pens and rulers. Check over supplies like pens, pencils, markers and erasers. When you sort, throw away anything that is broken or no longer useful.
Packing up old papers
Your desk is most likely filled with graded papers and handouts. Put some of the papers into your backpack because you may not need them at school or your parents want to see them. Keep the papers that you may need later in a new folder (文件夹).
Wiping (用布擦) down your desk
While everything is out of your desk, take a wet towel and give the whole desk a once-over. Don’t forget to wipe around the inside of the desk as well as the legs. You may have to let the desk dry before putting anything back in it.

5 . Little Inventions around Us
 | Are you sitting in a classroom right now? Look around. What do you see? You probably see pencils, erasers, chalk, and other everyday normal things. These little inventions that we never notice are very important parts of our daily lives. Take Post-it notes for example. Those are the little yellow notes that are sticky（黏的） on one side. You just write something on one side of a note, and stick the note to something. That’s very convenient, because it’s not easy to lose your note. You can put the note wherever you Post-it notes want. Besides, the notes are very cheap. The man who invented Post-it notes was Dr. Spencer Silver. He was trying to create a super strong glue. Instead he created a weaker glue by mistake. However, when he did that, he helped invent one of the world’s most useful office things. |
 | How about Velcro? Velcro is useful because it can hold just about anything together. The scientist who invented Velcro got the idea when he went hiking. He noticed that little burrs were sticking to his clothes. A burr is a small, rough seed Velcro（籽） that sticks to things. The scientist looked at the burr in his microscope. He noticed that it had tiny hooks（钩）. He thought that he could make a clothing material that had similar tiny hooks. His idea worked, and he created Velcro. |
 | Another invention is aluminum foil（铝箔）. Aluminum is a kind of metal. Aluminum foil is a very thin sheet of metal. A piece of aluminum foil is similar to a piece of paper. We use aluminum foil to pack things, to cook things, aluminum foil and to wrap（包裹） food. There are quite a few other things that we use it for. These little inventions have made life easier. Every time you use some small object like a pen or a paper clip, remember that it was invented by some clever person a long time ago. |
