I think everyone has a dream. My dream is to have a large home. I don’t like living in the city. So the home is in the country, but not far from the city of Nanjing. On the ground floor, there is a training room and a swimming poor. I can play table tennis, basketball and badminton there. And I can also swim there. After training, I can have a shower and a bath with my friends. So there must be a bathroom. On the second floor, there is a computer room and a reading- room. And there is a bedroom. Then I can go to bed there.
Now, what’s on the first floor? We will have meals. So there is a kitchen and a dining-room there. And we can watch TV, play cards, listen to the music and so on. Welcome to my home to be the guests.
“T” or “F”.My dream home is a flat with four floors.
The home is near the capital of Jiangsu province
The bedroom is on the first floor.
We can often have meals on the second floor.
I’m friendly to my friends.

Tears came into this mothers eyes when she talked about waking up her son． Every morning， her ten﹣year﹣old boy puts up one finger with his eyes still closed， begging for one more minute to sleep．
Why is he so sleepy？ Because， like thousands of student "early birds"in China， he has to get up before 6：00a．m． every morning．
School students usually need eight to ten hours' sleep a night． But in China， it's reported that 90% of the students do not get enough sleep And studies show that without a good nights sleep， students seem to be weaker than they should be． They can't pay attention to their lessons or the traffic around them， and become upset as a result．
Li Ming， a student of a middle school in Linhe， said， "I usually go to bed after 11： 00 p．m But when I have exams coming up， I have to stay up as late as midnight． "This"night bird lifestyle has made many students nod off（打瞌睡） in class． Li Ming said， "It is during afternoon classes that I feel most sleepy． My parents are usually happy to see me studying so late． They think I work very hard and they make me cups of coffee．
So far， the officials of the Educational Bureau of Bayannao'er City have aken many measures to reduce the students'pressure． One is known as putting off （推迟） the time for going to school． It has worked well in increasing the students'sleeping time． Thanks to the policy， the students have enough time to sleep now． However， some people doubt the correctness of it．The problem of the students' pressure is still serious in our area， We still have a long way to go．
