    There is a nature park in the southwest of our city. The government built it (protect) the rare animals. The nature (park) has been the (symbolize) of our city.

    Yesterday my friends and I visited it. The workers there asked us not (feed) animals. Many animals are in (dangerous) because people kill them for their meat and fur. Another reason is that people are taking their land and making their water (undirty). The situation becoming very serious.

    I learnt much yesterday. I think people should (set) up more comfortable houses for the animals and help them live  peace. We should do our best to protect them, because protecting them is protecting ourselves.

    China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to solve the population problem, our government carried out one-child policy(政策) before. When it is carried out for some time, many people see not only its advantages but also disadvantages.

    From 2016, two-child policy was put into effect. In my opinion, two-child policy is good. First of all, two-child policy is the gift for some only child. For some families, maybe the parents are only child and they can also have only child. Besides the loneliness of their child, when their child grows up and they grow older, their child marries an only child girl, the burden(负担) on their child and his wife is too heavy. Their child and his wife have to take care of two couples. Usually, looking after an old couple is a little difficult for a young couple. But if their parents have two children, they can share the burden of taking care of their parents. It would be much better. Secondly, two-child policy can guarantee(保证) the number of Chinese population.

    All in all, one-child policy has been out of date. And two-child policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problems of today and the future.

    Plan your time carefully. You should plan your time for such things as eating, sleeping and dressing. Then make a good, regular time for studying, but don't forget to set enough time for entertainment (娱乐).

    Keep your study quiet and clean. The study should have a desk, a chair and some study materials (资料), but no games, no radio and no television! When you sit down to study, you can put your heart into it. Make good use of your time.

    Listen to everything that the teacher says. Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
