一 I'd love to. But I am not good at studying.

一 Of course.

    Do you know a kind of bird called tawny owl? Where does it come from? It comes from Finland (芬兰). What color is it? It is brown. Are all the tawny owls brown? No. Tawny owls come in two colors: pale gray and brown. And in Finland, it often snowed in winter. Many tawny owls were pale gray. But as the Finnish (芬兰的)winters get warmer, there are more brown ones. Why is that?

    The University of Helsinki team tries to study tawny owls. They find that tawny owls get the color from their parents. The gray owls could get food easily in the snow in the past. But now the winter is warmer. There is little snow so the brown owls can live well, too. The number of the owls is getting bigger.

    The leader of the team, Dr Patrick Karell, said that the birds change their color to meet the weather. We are sure the weather change can do something to the animals.

—Noodles. They taste better.

    Money makes the world go around, yet the best thing in life is free. A penny saved ls a Penny earned, but you get what you pay for. Do you have your own ideas about spending money wisely? If no, now it's a great time to learn how to spend it. Follow the steps below when you are considering buying something you want.

    How much do you really want?

    Seeing a $25 gum ball (口香糖球) machine, Ben wanted it at first. But after thinking about it, he thought that it would be exciting for only a day or two." "Besides, it's impossible for me to chew that much gum," he said wisely.

    Do you still want it a week later?

    If the thing passes the "really-want-it" test, try to wait for some time to see how strong the desire (欲望) is. This method works for grown-ups too!

    How will you pay for it?

    After the first two steps, Ben found he really wanted a toy pirate ship, but it cost $50. He had $23 in his pocket and he got $1.5 a week from his parents. It would take Ben 18 weeks to save enough money to get the ship.

    Are there ways to earn money?

    Ben agreed to wash the downstairs windows at $2 each. So he got $10 for himself.

    Can you get it cheaper?

    After deciding to buy it, it is necessary for you to look for ways to buy it at lower prices: search for what you want on the Internet or in shops and flea markets (跳蚤市场). Sometimes you can find the same thing at a much lower price.

    If these suggestions work well, you can save a lot of money. You will be a really smart shopper.

—Maybe not. I need your help.

    Chinese people have never liked a Japanese sports star before as they have loved Japanese ping-pong player Ai Fukuhara.

    Fukuhara has had a talent for playing ping-pong since 3 years old. When she was 12 years old, she came to China to learn ping-pong as well as Chinese Now she speaks Chinese very well.

    That's one reason why Chinese fans love her so much. Another reason is that she always shows her real feeling to others. Fukuhara often cries when she loses the games especially against Chinese ping—pong players so Chinese fans call her "Crybaby."

    Although Fukuhara is not always the winner, she is trying her best when playing her favorite sport all the time. When talking about why she planned to stop playing ping—pong, she said Japanese players are playing ping—pong better and better with her help and that it's OK for her to retire as for her future plans, Fukuhara wrote that she would like to help more people around the world get to know the beauty of the sport.

I still remember my first ballet(芭蕾) class.

One day, my parents took me to see a ballet show when I was 6 years old. It was amazing. Then I wanted to learn ballet.

When I first went into the ballet class, I saw some girls wearing pink skirts and cute shoes. They danced so beautifully. However, I knew that, like any other dance, behind all the beauty, there was much hard work.

After l started to learn ballet, I found it hard for me to dance well because I had fat legs and short arms. What's more, I couldn't stand straight after l put on my ballet shoes. l was disappointed and didn't want to dance anymore.

Luckily, I met Miss Yang, an excellent teacher. She encouraged (鼓励 ) me to be more hard-working than others and helped me a lot. My parents also told me that I could do it. So I didn't give up and worked hard for two years. Finally, I could dance very well.

Now I still love dancing ballet and I am good at it. I learned that if I am not good enough, I need to work harder.

One spring, our class wanted to go on a trip. Our1, Mr. F, let us talk about it in class.

"2do you want to go?" he asked.

"I want to go to the beach," said John.

"I want to go to the park," said Lisa.

We all wanted to go to different places. He wrote3on the board—beach, park, zoo and so on.

Jenna raised her hand, "I want to go to the4."

We all laughed. Only spacemen go to the moon and 5the information about the moon.

"Well, where shall we go? We will keep it a secret," said Mr. F."6we go on this trip, all of us have to work hard to make money first. And it's also important to7homework first."

"Okay," we said.

Everyone felt so8. John said, "We should go to the beach for the trip because itis nice to9in the sea."

Lisa said, "I enjoy10kites in the park. It is wonderful to see kites fly high in the blue sky."

The day before the trip, Mr. F told us, "Please meet me at the school gate at 8 a.m. tomorrow."

"Where are we going?" l asked.

He smiled, "We're going on a trip to the moon!"

Dear Mary,

Today was my first day in England and I learned something interesting about the weather here. It was cold in the morning, so I put on lots of clothes before I went to my new school. But when I was outside, the weather quickly changed. The clouds went away, the sky turned blue and the sun started to shine. I was so hot! At lunchtime, I wanted to go to the playground, but the sky was black and it was raining hard. I had no umbrella. I thought, "How can I go home after school?" But when school ended at 3 p.m., there was no rain. Now it was windy and cool. At 3:30 p.m., I put on my coat and walked home. My new friend Kelly said, "In England, you can have four seasons in one day." It's really true.

Best wishes,

Helen
