Today was the Hungry Luncheon (饥饿午餐日). Every year, at our school, there is a lunch event called the Hungry Luncheon.

If you want to join the event, you must pay two dollars at the door of the dining hall and get a letter. All the money is used for helping those poor people who don’t have enough (足够的) food to eat. My letter was “K”.

After all the students sat down, the teachers called the letters for the meals: 15% of the students got to eat a best dinner. 25% of the students got to eat an Okay meal. But 60% of the students just had a small piece of bread and a small cup of water!

The purpose (目的) of this event is to tell us about the unfairness (不公平) of the world, and that we need to start helping the poor!

I was one of the 60% of the students. I was a little hungry for the rest of the day, but I learned something from this special lesson. Now every time I eat, I think about the poor.

Students Begin to Smoke at a Younger Age

SHANGHAI---- Almost one in four students aged between 12 and 14 have tried smoking, according to the results of a survey from the CATC(中国抗癌协会).

“ Quite a number of boy students in my class smoke outside the school yard during lunch break,” said Li Xiaolan, an English teacher from a high school in Shanghai.

The survey also found that 39 percent of students took their first cigarette from their classmates.

“ It was quite common to smoke with my classmates at school,”said Zhou Guangrong,a 22- year–old university student from Guiyang, Guizhou province,who started smoking at the age of 12.

Most of the student smokers buy cigarettes themselves.” My middle and high schools were surrounded by cigarette shops when I was a student,” said Liu Minghui who used to smoke two cigarettes per day in primary school and two packs per week in middle and high school.

“ We’re keen to show that more teenagers are starting smoking much younger than before,and that we need to minimize(降低) the number of young smokers,” said Duan Jiali, an officer in CATC. He added that teachers and parents should set a good example for teenagers by not smoking in front of them at school or at home, which is the best way of stopping teenagers from smoking.
