Recently, we’ve had a heated argument about the suggestion that our school should employ a foreign teacher to teach English. Some of us think it necessary, because the student’s listening and oral English can be improved through it. Meanwhile, this kind of arrangement can also promote our school’s communication and cooperation with foreign countries. What’s more, the foreign teacher can improve the English teaching in our school.

On the other hand, some students are strongly against it. They feel that we should not vie with others blindly, for our school is still short of money, and we can save the money to help poor students to afford their studies.

In my opinion, every coin has two fares. To employ foreign teachers will cost much money, but it’s good for us students. Hopefully, the city government will support it financially. (115 words.)

Calvin Coolidge (1872 – 1933) was the thirtieth president of the United States. He looked down on a person as being unworthy of respect who was too fond of talking about the details of others people’s actions and private lives because he had no time for small talks. The following two incidents clearly show how Collidge treasured silence.

When he was vice president, Coolidge had plenty of opportunities to participate (参加) in Washington’s social life, especially the many dinner parties. As be ignored the art of conversation, he couldn’t exactly make himself dear to his hostesses. One lady felt she could solve this problem. She placed him next to Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of the former President Roosevelt. Mrs. Longworth, a very brilliant conversationalist (谈话者), began to talk in her usual charming manner, but all attempts to a wake the interest on the part of the vice president were unproductive. Finally, being shamed into anger, she said, “I’m sure that going to as many dinners as you do, you must get terribly bored.”

Without lifting his eyes from his plate, Coolidge said not very clearly, “Well, a man has to eat somewhere.

Later, when he was president and once again at a dinner party, Collidge was seated next to an outstanding society woman, one of those busybodies, who seemed to take delight in trying to change the lives of everyone they met. “Oh, Mr. President,” she spoke with too much enthusiasm, “you are always so quiet.

Hummingbirds have got their name from the distinct “hum” sound made by their rapidly flapping (拍打) wings.The size of the bird decides the number of flaps it can do.The average lifetime of a hummingbird is 3 or 4 years, but some of them have lived beyond 12 years also.They are unique in many ways.Besides the number of rapid flaps they can do per second, they can also fly backwards.

Hummingbirds have an amazing sense of assessing the amount of sugar in the nectar (花蜜) they eat.They feed on the nectar of flowers.Hummingbirds do not feed on flowers whose nectar contains less than 10% sugar.Talk about a sweet tooth! As they cannot sustain themselves on nectar alone because of its poor nutritional value, they also feed on insects and spiders, and hummingbird food mixture that one can make at home.

Attracting hummingbirds to your garden will require a little planning.Plant butterfly bush, mimosa, coral bells, foxglove, morning glory, etc.These flowers attract the hummingbirds due to their high visibility (可见性) and nectar production.Avoid using pesticides (杀虫剂), as it will not only kill the insects around the flowers, but hurt the hummingbirds as well.

A common food for these birds is the sweettasting sugar syrup (糖浆).Hummingbird food ingredients are just two: sugar and water.Take a large clean bowl, pour in it four cups of hot water, and dissolve one cup of table sugar in it.Stir slowly until all sugar has dissolved.

Hummingbirds, tiny as they are, collect a lot of nutrition.Providing them with hummingbird food mixture made of sugar water is a sure way to get all these beauties humming in your garden.
