At Anacostia Senior High School we have a lot of problems．We have students suspended and we have low test grades．I think this school is in need of improvement．The reasons why I believe this school needs improvement are that children are getting suspended and missing out on class work, students are failing, and the school is dirty．
The first reason why this school needs improvement is that children are getting suspended and missing out on class work．Students should not get suspended because it's like a vacation to them．They will not change their ways．Instead of putting them out of school for suspension, we should have them in school．In that way, students can still have good grades．
The second reason why I believe this school needs improvement is that students are failing．If you come to school every day you shouldn't fail．I can't blame it all on the students; it is the teachers' fault also．Some teachers do not let students in the class．This school needs tutors．If students had tutors their grades could improve．
The third reason why I believe this school is in need of improvement is that it is dirty．Who wants to walk into a dirty school every day?I don’t!If students help out, the building will stay clean．There should be no writing on the walls or eating in the halls．We need to treat our schools like we treat our homes．
These are my reasons why this school needs improvement．If we do these things we can get good grades．have a nice looking school, and students will improve their grades．By doing these things we can also have the most decent school on the other side of the fiver．

What is the author's attitude to Anacostia Senior High School?
You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year．You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly．
Perhaps you have been told about some habits (习惯) which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have．
Do you still have any of these bad habits?Check yourself by answering“yes”or“no”to these questions．
(1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?
(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
(3)Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
(4)Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer“yes”to any of these questions,start at once to break the habit．If you move your tips，hold your fingers over them，or hold a piece of paper be-tween your lips while you are reading．Then if your lips move，your will know it and can stop them．
If you point to words，hold the two sides of your book，one side with your left hand，the other side with your right hand．Then you won't have a free finger to use in pointing while reading．If you move your head，place your chin (下巴) in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的)．
If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time，you need to work very hard in learning to take in (吸收) more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words．
Even if you do rather fast now，you can learn to read even faster．As you probably have been told，the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance．Read in through groups and force (迫使) your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can to make them go．Anyone who practices doing these things will he able to read faster．
