—Great! When are you going?
I'm Fang Ming. On holidays my parents often take me to the zoo in our city because I like animals. I have a lot of toy animals in my room. In the zoo I can see tigers, elephants, monkeys, pandas, bears, giraffes and many other animals. Some animals are very friendly, but some are not. Tigers, bears and lions are very dangerous. That is why they have to stay in cages. But I don't think it's good for animals to stay in cages. They should be free. The animals in cages can't be happy.
Tigers usually live in forests and mountains. They can run very fast. They catch and eat small animals like rabbits and deer，but now they live in small rooms. They have nothing to do every day. So they walk in the cages，and they want to get out. When they are tired，they sleep. I feel sorry for them.
Are you looking for something fun and would you like to h others when you're free? Then join us to be a volunteer! We have voluntary jobs of all ages. Anyone, from twelve-year-old children to people in their seventies, can b a volunteer.
You can help people in mways. Schools need help with taking care of children while their parents are working. H need volunteers to look after children while their parents are seeing a doctor. Animal lovers can help take care of those dogs and cats w homes. There is something for e.
"As a volunteer, I don't want to get anything. Seeing the children's hfaces, I'm glad, too," said Carlos Domingo, an old woman of 62. "I often played computer games b. Now I help older people learn h to use computers," said another volunteer at the age of 18.
If everyone helps out a bit, we'll have a b world to live in. Are you interested? Call us at 800-555-5756 or visit our website www.activol.com.
Language—learning students often think they have memory problems.
They worry because they can't remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn't with their memory. The problem is with how they study.
To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short—term and long—term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short—term memory. But short—term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long—term memory. Your long—term memory is like a very big library with many, many books, And like a library, it's organized(有条理的). When you put away a book— or memory— you can't just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.
How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can create a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height.
All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long—term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.
Singapore-A Place You Will Never Forget!
Have you ever been to Singapore? For thousands of tourists from China, this small island in Southeast Asia is a wonderful and safe place to take a holiday. On the one hand, more than three quarters of the population are Chinese, . On the other hand, Singapore is an English-speaking country, so it's also a good place to practice your English!
? Maybe you fear that you won't be able to find anything good to eat when you travel. In Singapore, however, you'll find a lot of food from China; you won't have any problem getting rice, noodles or dumplings. . Whether you like Indian food, Western food or Japanese food, you'll find it all in Singapore!
Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night? Singapore has a Night Safari. . However, if you go to see lions, tigers or foxes during the daytime, they'll probably be asleep! A lot of animals only wake up at night, so this is the best time to watch them. At the Night Safari, you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than in a normal zoo.
One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round. . So you can choose to go whenever you like-spring, summer, autumn or winter. And, of course, it's not too far from China!

She is him.
Mr Jones and Mr Brown work in the same office (办公室).One day Mr Jones says to Mr Brown, "I will have a small party at our house on Monday evening. Would you and your wife like to come?"
Mr Brown says, "Thank you very much. I'd love to, but let me ask my wife first." So Mr Brown goes to the other room and telephones his wife. Then he comes back and looks very worried.
"What's the matter?" asks Mr Jones. "Is your wife there at home?"
"No," answers Mr Brown. "She isn't there. My small son answers the telephone. I say to him, 'Is your mother there, David?' and he answers 'No, she isn't in the house.' 'Where is she?' I ask, 'She is somewhere outside (在外面).' 'What's she doing?' 'She is looking for me.'"
The American writer Sally Seaman tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says founding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed (种子) and take care of it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend could listen to your complaints (抱怨) and do his or her best to help you. To make a friend, you can't be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things can not always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you can write a letter.
There are three steps to be friends again:
Tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend has done wrong and explain(解释) why you did this or that.
Remember that friendship is one of the most important things in your life.
