2 . Some children want to be writers some day. They mean that they want to write stories or books for people to read.
That’s good! It’s good to write something for people to read! But they should know that they need to be good readers first before they are good writers. They should read a lot of books, and read for hours and hours every day instead of watching TV and spending a lot of time playing games when they are free.
If you are a good reader, it doesn’t take you long to do the reading homework. Then you have time to read many other books for fun. Because you read so well, you have more fun in reading and you want to look for more books to read.
So, before you decide to be a good writer, you’d better say to yourself, “I must read, and read more and more!”

3 . Falling asleep in class is still common among students.
Why do students sometimes fall asleep in class?
A main reason is short of sleep. However, there are also reasons for getting too little sleep. Homework is necessary for most students, one that can take three to four hours every night. And a student who wants to be able to take part in any activity besides homework must stay up late. Club activities, sports, computer-game playing, and TV viewing, for example, all make students have less time for both homework and sleep.
Physical problems are another reason that can have students to fall asleep in class. For example, insomnia (失眠) may keep a student tired during class hours. It is a serious problem that may need medical attention.
The effects (影响) of falling asleep in class can be quite serious. First of all, sleeping in class is not a good way to endear (使……受喜爱) yourself to teachers. Secondly, it is highly possible that other students may make jokes about those who sleep in class. However, the worst effect of sleeping in class is missing important points. In the long run, sleepers may end up with failing classes.
Since students are probably not going to deal with the problem, falling asleep in class will probably go on. It will continue until more students find a way to balance (平衡) their personal and social lives with school and work, while still finding enough time to sleep.

4 . Today more and more children wear glasses before going to middle school, because they spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games without a rest. We must do something to protect(保护) our eyes because they are important to us.
Love our eyes. Every day, when we open our eyes, we can see our parents and friends, beautiful flowers and green trees. Without them, there is only darkness. It is like a house without any light. How important our eyes are!
Remember to rest our eyes. When we use the computer for about an hour or more, it is time to stop to have a 30-minute rest. At school, we need to do eye exercises. Closing our eyes for a rest is useful, as well as looking at green plants. In these ways, we will feel comfortable with our eyes.
Have good habits. When writing homework and reading, it is important to keep a distance (距离) of 30cm between our eyes and the books. We should never touch our eyes with dirty hands. Eat something good for eyes, such as carrots, fish and eggs.

Decide the place where to grow a garden first. If you has a yard, it is big enough to grow your dream garden, then choose it. A very important point you need to consider is plenty of sunlight. You know that some plants can’t grow without sunlight.
The second thing you should decide is the type of garden. Do you want a vegetable garden, a flower garden or a combination (结合) of both? That is because different plants grow in different weather conditions (状况). For example, some plants need more water while some grow well in dry conditions.
You also need to design your garden. Decide where to grow tomatoes, carrots or flowers. Make a perfect plan to make your garden look more beautiful. It’s also a good idea to cover some green grass on other space of the garden. Then you can not only enjoy the vegetables you grow but also the beautiful flowers. You’d better ask someone who has lots of gardening experience.
