(At the beach)
Ben: Hi, Judy! I can't believe you came to join us!
Judy: Hello, Ben. I came because I like your idea: when you give, you're rich. I'm happy that I can do something for the Earth.
Ben: Right. That's why we had this plan to get our clean beach back. Do you know if Paul's coming?
I remember he had the same idea and said he would try his best to come over.
Judy: But he just called and said he wouldn't come today because it's too hot.
Ben: I can't believe it! He always says, "We can do this and that . . . ."
Judy: Don't you know him? He only pays lip service to what should be done but never does anything.
Ben: I see. Let's forget about him. We'll have Tony and Sophie to help us soon.
Judy: That's great. So where should we start now? Should we pick up those bottles first?
Ben: Sure, let's go.

Do you enjoy reading? Here readers of your age from all over the United States recommend (推荐) great books for you to read:
My favorite book is Don’t Die, My Love by Lurlene McDaniel. I love all her books, but this was the first one I read and I have to say, it is by far my favorite. It doesn’t end like other books, and I cried while reading.
I think Nancy Drew is great! Nancy is a detective (侦探) who has many fantastic ideas! I love it because it’s a book from when my grandma was my age, and I can share the fun with her!
I highly recommend Skinny Bones by Barbara Park. It is funny so please add it on your book list. You don’t want to miss out funny stories！
I would suggest ______ by Judy Blume. It is based on real things that happened to Judy Blume. It is about a girl, Alice, who meets some girls at a new state. They become friends, make a club and meet once a week. They stop after two weeks because they all like a boy in their class and put him as number one. I think every girl should read this because it is about our growing up.
I read a book called Neela: Victory Song and it was so good I read it twice! It takes place in India in 1936 and this 12-year-old girl named Neela tries to save her father! It has lots of history in it! I also learned a lot about different cultures! The author’s name is Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.
