1 人際關係
Teachers and students should live in harmony with each other. Firstly, teachers respect the personalities and
characteristics of their students. Secondly, teachers should love their students attentively and treat each student fairly. On the other hand, students should respect their teachers and admit their work and achievements although they have different opinions from their teachers. Only in this way can teachers and students trust each other and get along well.

2 語言學習
Recently, to improve the students’ listening and speaking abilities, the English teacher in Class 3 conducted a survey among the whole class on whether they should have a three-minute speech in English at the beginning of a period. According to the survey,
65% of the students firmly support the idea, for they think this method will be helpful to their English learning and it is a good chance for them to practise their listening ability as well as speaking ability. However, 35% of the students are strongly against it, saying that it costs the limited time in class. What’s worse, if they can not make sense of the speeches, they will lose confidence in learning English. As for me, I think it is a good idea to have a three minutes’ speech at the beginning of a period because I believe practice makes perfect.

4 自然災害
Earthquakes now happen more frequently than before, so it is necessary for us to know how to protect ourselves. If you are inside a building when an earthquake strikes, you mustn’t rush out without order but hide yourself under some hard furniture with your head and neck protected by your arms or bag, avoiding things that hang above your head, like ceiling, lamps, fans and so on. Besides, when you run for safe shelters, don’t forget to cover your head with something hard. What’s more, you should put out fire, turn off the gas and electricity and stop using the lift. Once you are outdoors, try to get into an open area away from trees, buildings, walls, signs and power lines.

Born in a poor family in Chongqing on September 7, 1937, Yuan Longping studied hard, showing great interest in agriculture.

Because of his research, China’s rice production is increasing rapidly, solving the problem of the lack of food for many countries. As a result, he is honored as “Father of Hybrid Rice” and was rewarded with many prizes for his great contributions to the world. Though he is famous, he lives a simple life and cares little money and fame.

6 歷史文化
The Great Wall, the longest wall in the world, is one of the greatest architectures in ancient China. The structure which was built in a time when countries were at war, once served as a barrier to keep out invading enemies. It remains a mystery how people built the Great Wall without the help of any high technology two thousand years ago. But there is no doubt that the Great Wall, with rich history and magnificent appearance, attracts a great
number of tourists, scientists and historians every year. All visitors think highly of the wisdom of ancient Chinese.

7 體育活動
Dear editor,
I am Li Hua, a reader of your paper. I am writing to tell you some suggestions on how to make the best of the stadiums after the 29 Olympic Games were hosted in Beijing.
First of all, the stadiums can be opened to the public, where they can strengthen their bodies conveniently. Secondly, the stadiums can be rented to sports companies which organize matches, thus bringing in much more profits. Last but not least, they can be used as tourist attractions, because many of them are so well designed with strong Chinese features that they will surely be attractions for visitors from all over the world. th
