4 . I’m Aimswell and I live in Tobago in the West Indies. Like lots of people here, my father fishes to feed my family and he started to teach me to fish when I was five. I love it and have joined in many fishing competitions. People here fish for themselves and some of them also sell fish to big hotels. However, because people fish too much, there are fewer fish in the sea now.
To solve the problem, my teacher, Mr.Peters, started a program. The program is teaching all the students in my school about fishing. We are raising (饲养) a kind of fish called tilapia at school. They are easy to look after(照顾) because all they need to eat is water plants(植物). They will grow big enough to eat in about four months. We have two different kinds of tilapia and they will taste different.
Mr.Peters wants us to show our parents how we have raised fish at school and tell them they can do the same at home. Then one day every one in Tobago can eat the fish they raise and there will be more fish in the sea.
I love working on the program because it is fun and it teaches us a way to help protect the environment(环境).

7 . Jose Luis Garcia is from Argentina. He lives in a small village in San Luis but works in Buenos Aires, about 800 kilometers away.
“I grew up in my village and I love it here but the good jobs are in Buenos Aires,” he says. “I have to travel over 10 hours on the bus on Friday and Sunday nights but it’s OK. I don’t want to live in Buenos Aires. It’s an exciting place but it’s dangerous and quite polluted (被污染的). The village I live in is near the mountains. It’s safe and quiet—a great place for my wife and four kids.”

World Sleep Day, organized by the World Sleep Day Committee of the World Association of Sleep Medicine since 2008, is on March 21 every year. World Sleep Day is to celebrate the benefits of good and healthy sleep.
Sleep quality plays an important role in people’s health. Researchers say that there are a lot of advantages (优点) if we always get enough sleep. We can be smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful. Also we’re to have better skin, better memories and longer lives.
When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it will influence (影响) your performance the next day.
In general, adults need to sleep at least eight hours of sleep a night, but a recent survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of them really get a full eight hours of sleep and another 21% get less than six. For teenagers, a healthy sleep is about eight to nine hours per night. However, about 80% of high school students don’t get enough sleep because of their schoolwork or some bad habits.
Twenty-seven percent of people in the world have sleep problems. Now there are over 80 kinds of sleep disorders (紊乱), and most people know little about their danger. So, for our good life and work, it’s necessary for us to realize the importance of sleep and try to have a good sleep.
