When the bell rings, every student takes out an iPad. The light from the screens makes their young faces pretty and lively. That’s what happens every day at my school in the US. We use iPads in class.

I felt surprised and exited when I got an iPad the first day I arrived at the school.

But it was not free. I paid about $100 to rent (租) it for three years.

Every iPad at my school has a special learning system (系统) called Focus. Teachers put their teaching materials (材料) like textbooks and PPTs on it. When we have classes, we enter the system and download (下载) materials with our iPads.

It makes the classes interesting and efficient (高效的). For example, a few weeks ago, we learned about London in the UK. Our teacher prepares a video. Through the video, we saw many places of interest in London. We could not only watch the video, but also see the words at the same time. Because of the video, I know more about the city.

We also do our homework with iPads. We can know how well we do our homework right after we hand in our homework.

However, there are still some bad points about learning with iPads. Some of my classmates play games or surf the Internet in class.

I believe the key to using iPads well is to have good self-control (自制力), isn’t it?

Edward’s Travel Tips

What kind of place do you usually choose to stay for the night during a trip? Expensive hotels may make you feel like you don’t get what you pay for. Cheap hotels put you and five other people in the same bedroom. If both choices (选择) don’t sound good to you, here’s something new: holiday flats.

In a holiday flat, you have more space (空间) than what a hotel room can give you. Everything in the flat is at your disposal (任意使用). The living room, the kitchen, the study and the bedrooms are all for your own use. Some flats even have a lovely garden or a game room. You’ll feel at home in the holiday flat. The best thing is that a holiday flat is not expensive. The price for a holiday flat is often lower than a hotel room for two. You only need to pay a little more for a third or fourth person. If you travel with friends or your family, a holiday flat will be your best choice.
