 Some students who are from all around the world are talking about the way they go to school on School Bus Bar at http://tieba.baidu.com/.

In our country, most of the students go to school by school bus. For me, I go to school by school bus every day. It takes me about 30 minutes to get to school, because my home is far from the school. The school bus is not only beautiful but wide and strong. It makes me feel safe when I am in school bus.

Mary Smith from America

I think riding is one of the best ways to go to school because my school isn’t very far from my home. It takes me about 15 minutes. I like riding a bike and I think it’s good for my health. But nowadays, the number of the cars is becoming larger and larger and the crowded traffic will certainly bring about the risk of safety. So my parents hope that I can take the school bus to school.

Li Ping from Wenzhou

I went to school by bus one month ago, but now I walk to school with my parents or my classmates. It’s because the school bus accident. In the accident, lots of students died. I have to get up one hour earlier than before. I spend one and a half hours getting to school. And now it’s very cold outside. I hope to have a school bus.

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son.Everybody expects you to be special or perfect.I

often wonder how my father ever had a son like me.I mean he’s so special and so good at

everything he does.Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football

team.

    Well,to be honest,I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something

special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star.I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole sch001.“I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”

    When I got home,I started to think about what to write.My father is an astronaut.N0,I

wouldn’t start like that.That was the way others saw him.How did I see my father? Hmm.

    I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream.I remembered how he

hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car.Yes,these were the things I

 was going to write.To me,he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut.He was my dad.

    My parents and l went to school Thursday night.There were so many people in the big[来源:Z,xx,k.Com]

hall! My dad looked at me,and I shrugged(耸肩).

    The third prize was announced and it was not me.1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time.The second prize was announced.It was me.

    1 went up to the stage and read what I had written,“My father’s son”.When I finished,the people stood up and cheered.I saw my father blowing his nose.Tears were running down my mother's face.Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder.“Son,this

is the proudest moment of my life.’’

    It was the proudest moment of my life,too.Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a

Nobel Prize,but it was enough just to be my father’s son.
