We have a two-day holiday every week. We don’t have any lessons on Saturdays or Sundays, so every weekend I have a good time.

On weekends, I like taking a trip. I sometimes go to the country with my classmates by bus to breathe(呼吸)the fresh air, watch the green hills and the blue sea, and walk in the beauty of the countryside. Sometimes I go for a picnic in the open air with my friends by bike. There we draw many pictures and take photos. Sometimes I go to visit a place of interest with my parents by car.

Sometimes on Saturdays, I take a long trip with my parents. We don’t go home at night and make a fire on the hill. We sit around it, singing and dancing happily. If we feel tired, we get together, look at the stars and chat for a long time, and then sleep for a few hours.

My weekends are always full of interest and happiness.

假设你叫林洋，收到了你的笔友Susan的一封信，请你给她写一封回信。在信中回答她的问题，提出你的建议，并就此事谈谈你的看法。

Dear Lin Yang,

I have a problem these days. My mother doesn’t allow me to watch TV even on weekends. She says as a middle school student, my job is to study. After I finish my homework, she says, I should read books and watching TV is bad for me. But I think I need a rest and watching TV helps me learn a lot too.

Do you have the same problem? What do you think of my mother’s decision? What should I do?

Yours,

Susan

Trees are useful to man in three important ways.

The first important way is that they provide(提供) man with food, wood and the other products. Trees provide not only man with food, but also many animals with food. Without trees many animals could not live on the earth. It’s not easy for man to live on the earth, either.

The second important way is that trees give us shade(阴凉). On a hot summer day, people are eager(渴望) to have a rest under the tree after they have a long walk. You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and animals.

The third important way is that trees help to prevent droughts and floods(防止干旱和洪水). However, in many parts of the world, man hasn’t realized the third way. They were cutting trees down in large numbers. In the end they find that they have lost the best friends they had.
