Good morning, boys and girls. Today I’ll talk about going online.

We know that there are too many Net bars（网吧）around us. The Internet makes our lives interesting. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we send e-mails to our friends, they can get them at once. It can help us keep in touch with people from all over the world.

But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the Net bars all day and all night. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more.

I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.

At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.

Changes my hometown

My hometown has changed a lot over the years.

In the past, __________________________________________________________

My friends and I got to talking about the rules that we have in school.

At our school, we have to w1. uniforms every day. The problem is that all my classmates think the uniforms a2. ugly. We think young people should look s3. and so we would like to wear our own clothes. Our teachers believe that if we did that, we would concentrate more on our clothes t4. our studies. We disagree. We would feel more comfortable and that is good for s5.. If we can’t do that, we should be allowed to design our own uniforms. That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students h6.. It’s also probably a good idea for parents to a7. teenagers to study in groups during the evening. I know we get noisy sometimes, b8. we can learn a lot from each other. We also think that vacations should be longer. At present they’re too short. Longer vacations would g9. us time to do things like volunteering. Last summer I had an opportunity to volunteer at the local hospital, but I couldn’t because I had to go back to school. It would be a good experience for me because I want to b10. a doctor when I grow up.
