6 . Would you tell others your QQ password (密码)? Of course not. But if your passwords are too easy, hackers(黑客) can guess them.
These days we have too many passwords to remember. To make life easy, some people use simple passwords, like123456, “888888”or “abc123”. Many also use personal information (个人信息), such as a birthday, as passwords.
But these easy passwords are not safe online. Here are some tips for a safer password.
Upper-casing (大写) your password is a good start. Put numbers and symbols (符号) in your password. Don’t use words you can find in a dictionary (词典). Make your passwords long.
For example, make a password of nine letters, with numbers and symbols in it. Then it will take hackers hundreds of years to work out!
Never use personal information as a password, Use different passwords for different things. Change your passwords every 90 days.

9 . My Town the Best Place to Be
My town is a great place to live in. It’s the best place to enjoy your free time. There are three movie theaters in the town. They are all good, but the one nearest my house is the best. Shopping is also easy. There are many shops and most of them are trendy. They sell very fashionable clothes. The prices are also cheaper than in other cities, so students love to shop here. There are also a lot of video and music stores. All the students like them. I go to the music store every week to buy a new CD. The most crowded place for students to hang out is the park. Everyone goes there, so it’s really interesting. Sometimes there are even street performers. Some students think they are boring, but I think they are the most creative people. I want to be a street performer, too.

10 . There’s no better way to experience a place than through its food. My hometown is home to the world’s largest food festival: the Taste of Chicago. Growing up here, I’ve been to the festival many times with my family.
As one of America’s best food festivals, the Taste of Chicago started in 1980. A group of restaurant owners advised the idea of a food festival. Jane Byrne, the then mayor of Chicago, agreed. And the city has been hosting the event ever since.
At first, the Taste of Chicago was a one-day event held on the fourth of July and about 25,000 people enjoyed it along Chicago’s North Michigan Avenue. Popularity of the event was high. So the next year, organizers decided to move the location (地点) to Chicago’s famous Grant Park. Also, it grew to be a ten-day event.
Today the festival is held for five days every July and it is the city’s biggest event. About four million people go there every year. Lots of restaurants from across the city come together to show off their menus. There are also different activities and events including concerts, rides and games.
The festival is free to get in, but if you want to enjoy the food, you must buy food tickets. The tickets come in strips (条) of 14 for $10 and you can use them for taste-size and full-size portions (份). If you want to try as many new taste experiences as you possibly can, ask for a taste-size portion. You’ll get it for anywhere between one and six tickets and up to twenty for a full-size portion.
