3 . The graduation season is coming. Grade 9 students are going to say goodbye to each other. Everyone must have a lot to say to their classmates at this moment. But where can they put all their warm works?

In the past, each student would buy a big beautiful notebook and ask their classmates to write in it. But things are a bit different now. Grade 9 students use USB flash disks (U盘) instead of notebooks. Some students are not good at Chinese. They can’t use sweet words to show how they love their friends. But with the USB flash disk, they can write, draw or even make cartoons for each other.

One of the students said, “I like the USB flash disk because it costs less than fifty yuan. And there is a lot of space for me to write in.” But some students still like notebooks better. They say words in computers are cold. It is bad for their eyes to use computers too much, “Although a notebook may have less space, I will still choose it. A notebook can keep my classmates’ handwriting. That is sweet.” said a boy.
