You must have been to many places. Then what place do you think is the most beautiful?

Zhong Rui, 14, from Jilin

Hainan is the farthest place I’ve been to. It is a hot but beautiful place near the sea. When I stood on the beach, the waves touched my feet and the wind tasted salty . I loved the coconuts there. They were really fresh.

Zhang Zhaojie, 14, from Shanghai

I went to the UK last year on a camp trip. I fell in love with the place as soon as I landed there. The air smelled sweet. People there were friendly. And the sheep there were cute.

Zhou Kefan, 14, from Guangxi

The sky in Inner Mongolia was very blue. Wind blew the grass and it looked just like a green ocean. At night, we had a bonfire party together. People sang and danced there together. I really loved the place.

Wang Kaiwei, 15, from Zhejiang

About two years ago, I went to Tianshan Mountain with my father. It was really cold up the mountain. But there was a big and beautiful lake on the mountain. Standing beside the lake, I felt like I was a fairy. It was a really amazing place.

Four ways to have a good school life

Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them, and make sure you do not waste this wonderful chance to learn.

Be active at school! Don’t say things are difficult or boring. Be interested in school-life and your school subjects. Join in lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go round the school with a big smile. If you are not working, you are not learning, and you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.

Keep fit. If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play some sports to keep your body strong.

Face the problem. Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish a race if you rest all the time. Everyone fails(失败) some tests, loses some matches and has bad days. Don’t let small problems seem very big and important. Don’t forget to ask for help. You are young. No one thinks you can do everything!

Spend the weekends. Don’t waste time lying in bed on Saturday morning. Go and play a sport, get together with friends in the park to relax, learn the piano, or help someone with problems. If you don’t want to go out, there are always a lot of things to do. You may read a book, practice English or help mother with housework.

Follow my advice, and have a happy school-life!
