School life in Taizhou

My name is Jack. I study in a middle school in the city of Taizhou. Every day I go to school on foot. I have many lessons at school. I have Chinese, English and Maths every day, but I do not have any Computer Studies or Art lessons.

I have many hobbies. I enjoy sports very much and playing basketball is my favourite. I want to play basketball well like Yao Ming, so every day I do many different kinds of exercises without end.

After supper, I have to go on doing my homework late into the night. I even do not have much time to play on Saturdays or Sundays. I know it is important for me to study hard, but I feel tired every day. I cannot get enough sleep. I want to say to the school, "Let us have a rest, please."

I hope that our school life will become colourful and interesting.

I'm a middle school student. In the past, I had some bad1. I hardly had breakfast 2 I usually got up late. I didn't like exercising. I3 exercised once or twice a month. In the evening, I always watched TV4 more than two hours. Then I5 the Internet. I liked to play computer games. So I often stayed up late. My parents thought staying up late was bad for my health, so they were not 6 with that.

One day, I fainted(昏倒)in a P. E. class. When I 7, I was in the hospital. The doctor said that my classmates sent(送)8 there. He said that I was in poor (差的)9. Then he told me to eat breakfast every day and do more exercise.

    Long, long ago, there was a swan(天鹅)with golden feathers(金羽毛).She lived in a lake. A woman lived in a small house1 the lake with her two daughters. They were very poor. They worked hard all year round, but still, they lived a hard life and sometimes they even didn't have enough2to buy food.

    The swan was 3 to see that. She said to herself, "I'll give one of my 4to them each day, then they can live a happy life with the money selling my feathers." That evening, she flew to the poor woman's house and left a golden feather on the table without saying anything. From then on, the swan came every day and gave them a feather. The woman was very happy because their life was much 5than before.

    But day after day, the woman became greedy(贪婪).She said to her6. "The swan may fly away one day. If so, we will be poor again. We should take all 7feathers when she comes next time."

    "Oh, no, Mom!" cried the daughters, "This will hurt the swan. She helps us a lot!" But the mother wouldn't listen. When the swan came as usual, the mother caught her and took all her feathers. But suddenly, the golden feathers 8chicken feathers.

    As we know there are many kinds of clubs in the US middle schools. Such as the music club, the sports club, the chess club, the swimming club…. But do you know the homework club? It is a popular (流行的) club in many US middle schools. More and more students spend their afternoons in the homework clubs. The US middle school students need a quiet place to study. But games, computers and TVs are all around kids at home. So the homework club is just for them to do their homework. The club is quiet and it's good for students to study. Some teachers are there, too. They can answer students' questions and help with their homework. If students finish their homework on time, they will get a snack. It's always children's favorite food. Then they can go home and play games or watch TV happily.
