A It was a bright Saturday morning. I stopped at a cafe to enjoy a cup of coffee and read the morning newspaper. Suddenly,I felt a hand on the back of my jacket and heard someone say, “Hey Steve!How are you doing?”

Looking back,I saw a young man. He looked familiar,but I couldn’t remember where we had met.

The young man also had a cup of coffee,so I asked him to join me. Very soon,his story began to thaw out my memory.

Dear Mr. President,

I am doing a project at school about animals in danger these days. I think the situation all over the w 1 is really bad. I am writing to you to s 2 what China should do to help protect animals.

I feel so s 3 for the giant panda It's one of the most p 4 animals in the world and a real symbol of China We learned that pandas m 5 live on bamboo,and that a panda can e 6 half its body weight of bamboo in 24 hours!That's a lot of bamboo. I think we should try to do m 7 to stop cutting down their forests. Pandas are a 8 rare animals and it would be so sad if they became extinct forever.

If we protect these b 9 animals in China,more people may wish to visit China to see them. They could be an important tourist attraction.

I hope you will e 10 more people to think about such an important subject.

Sincerely yours,

Huang Jing

Just look at how much young writers like Han Han and Guo Jingming are loved,we may know writing has become a fashion among today’s teenagers.

Gao Can,a 13-year-old girl,is the y 1 member of the Association of Writers of Shanxi. She writes fairy tales,short s 2,and most of all,poems. Gao said she began poem writing when she was in primary school. Once the teacher asked the class to w 3 a composition called “If I were. ..”，Gao had an idea, “Why not make it a poem?” That was her f 4 poem,and it won a lot of compliments from both her teacher and classmates. So far,hundreds of her poems have c 5 out.

“Writing poems is not difficult at all. Just express y 6 —what you do,what you see or what you think ,” said Gao. “I don't have enough life experience,so I write about nature,about things I feel inside. ”

However,teenagers these days seldom write poems or read them because exams want any kind of articles e 7 poems.

But like Gao,there are still students who like poems. Hu Jingzhi is one of them. The 14-year-old boy said he was i 8 in poem writing. But it was annoying that he couldn^,t find poem collections in nearby bookshops.

Gao agreed with Hu. She said today's bookshops were f 9 with books on “how to give a successful speech”，“how to know what others think” or “how to make money q 10

“Poems won’t teach you how to make money,but the beautiful words clear your mind and activate your imagination,” said Gao, “at least read poems一for the nice things in life. ”
