Dolphins are our friends. They can use tools to solve problems although they don’t have hands. For example, scientists have ever found that a dolphin can make a shy eel (鳗鱼) come out of the hole with a dead fish.

Dolphins use different sounds to get or give information. Scientists in Hawaii have developed a sign language to give instructions to dolphins, and the results are amazing. They find that dolphins not only understand the meaning of some words, but also understand the importance of word order in a sentence.

Most animals enjoy playing, but dolphins seem to like making their games as exciting as possible. On a beautiful day in 1997, scientists at a beach watched a little dog going into the sea and swimming towards the dolphins. To their surprise, the dolphins came up to the dog and then started throwing it into the air. The dog seemed to enjoy the “game” and continued playing with the dolphins for more than an hour.

Dolphins live in a very different world from ours, but they are very good at our “IQ tests”. For example, they will jump out of the water when they hear a whistle from the keeper. They do this because they will get a fish as a prize.

There is still much to learn about these cute problem-solvers, but it is sure that watching a dolphin show is fun.

It will be helpful to our study, especially for students with strong self-control(自制力). With the help of the Internet, we can get much knowledge and solve problems by ourselves. We can also use the Internet to read news and broaden our horizons(拓展我们的视野).

Xu Feiyang, 13

I agree with the rule. With the help of Wi-Fi, students can watch English movies and videos online in class and it will make study more interesting. It will also be good for us to hold school activities.

Zhang Ziyang, 13

It is not a good idea. There is both good and bad information on the Internet. It will take us too much time to find useful information. If we have problems with our study, we can ask teachers or classmates for help.

Zhu Yitian, 13

I don't agree. We may be addicted(上瘾的) to the Internet and mobile phones. Most of the boys in our class play games for three hours every day. If there is Wi-Fi at school, they may even play games in class and make trouble for the teacher.

Should there be free Wi-Fi 1. school?

Feng Tianqi

Yes. It 2. with our study. We can solve problems and read news on the Internet.

Xu Feiyang

Yes. Study will be more 3. with some online videos. Holding activities will also be easier.

Zhang Ziyang

4.. Looking for useful information on the Internet takes much times. We can ask others for help if we have problems
