Aran：Our class did a survey（调查）about screen（屏幕）time. We asked each other how much time we all spend on screens.
Mom：It sounds interesting! Were you at the top? You are always on your iPad! I’ve asked you to keep your screen time to one hour a day. You need to study hard ...
Aran：I do try, Mom! But I usually use my iPad to do my homework. Yesterday I learned science with it.
Mom：Yes, that’s OK. But you don’t only use it for homework, do you?
Aran：No, I know I use it a lot but some of my friends spend more time on screens. Sam sometimes spends three hours a day online. But we made a class promise（承诺）to cut down our screen time. And we are going to look back on it once a month.
Mom：What a great idea! ▲ Let’s see if habits change in a few weeks’ time ...

A—Bobby B—Mum
A: Mum, it’s raining again! I can’t go out to play with my friends. I don’t like the rain!
B: But rain is useful. People need water. Animals and plants also need water. And most of the water comes from rain. Without (没有) rain, how can plants grow? We will have nothing to eat.
A: Oh, Mum! You like the animals and plants just because you want to eat them!
B: No. We need them. If we have no food, we can only live (生存) for about one week. But without water, we can only live for three days. Then, do you still dislike the rain?
A: Mmm...But the rain makes all the streets wet. It’s difficult to walk quickly. And our shoes and trousers are always dirty on rainy days.
B: So get up early in the morning and don’t run on your way to school. Then your shoes and trousers will not be dirty.
A: OK. But Mum, I have nothing to do now.
B: That’s good! You can help me with the housework. Oh, I like rain so much!

Title: Charlie and the chocolate factory (工厂)

What’s the book about?
The book is about a boy called Charlie. His family doesn’t have much money. They don’t have much money and they don’t have much food. There’s a chocolate factory near Charlie’s house. It’s Willy Wonka’s factory. Willy Wonka invited five children to visit the chocolate factory.
My favorite character (角色)
My favorite character is Charlie because he’s very kind. I don’t like the other children because they are too terrible.
