Each person has his own way to have fun. Some like sports. Some like playing chess or cards. But a large number of people enjoy listening to music.
Nowadays, music has become an important part of our life. We can listen to music on CDs, on radio or on TV. Also, we can search the Internet to find the song we like. It’s the easiest way to enjoy the music that we like. Also we can download (下载)our favorite songs from the Internet for free. If we have a Walkman (随身听),we can hear music everywhere. It can give us pleasure if we are sad. It can cheer us up, too. When we are tired, it can make us relaxed.
Different people like different kinds of music. Young people like pop music. Maybe old people like gentle and quiet music. Different music can express different feelings. When we are happy, we like to listen to jubilant (欢快的) music. When we are unhappy, we want to hear soft music. We need different kinds of music in different moods. We can get different feelings from music. Music is the best friend of human beings. We can’t imagine what life would be like without music.

Now more and more people communicate(沟通) by sending messages with mobile phones, sending e-mails or even chatting on line. How about our pen, pencil or paper? Which one do you think is easier and more convenient, handwriting or texting (发短信)?
Today, texting is the most common way of communication, even among young students. People don’t write letters anymore. They usually send e-mails to their friends. From texting to e-mails, it seems like keyboard (键盘) are replacing the good old pencil and paper. As a result, many students are poor in handwriting. Some even don’t know how to write normal words we often use.
In order to improve students handwriting skills, the British government(政府) recently decided to open handwriting lessons in middle schools. The British government hopes the students will be able to learn how to write business and personal letters properly at any length(长度). The students will also be taught different kinds of writings. They will also learn to use correct spelling, punctuations (标点)and grammar. The handwriting lessons will begin in 2014. Why don’t you practice handwriting and write letters to your family and friends to surprise them?

Education is very important for the development of China. As we know, China has the largest population in the world and most of them live in the countryside. Because of the economic(经济)conditions, many families are very poor, especially those in the remote(偏僻的)areas, and they can’t afford to send their children to school. Many children have to stop attending school. Project Hope is aimed at solving this problem so that every child of school age can receive a regular education.
Project Hope mainly depends on the contributions(捐款)of the urban(城市的)people and overseas Chinese who care about the development of China’s education. The contributed(捐赠)money will be distributed(分配)by Project Hope council to the countryside to help the children who can’t afford the education. One hundred yuan will help such a child finish his primary education.
Project Hope is a good way to improve the education in the rural(农村的)areas, but it isn’t enough. So far, only a small part of the children benefit(受益)from it. So we should pay more attention to the problem and do much more to help raise the educational level of the country.
