In our daily life， much plastic package is used just once and then thrown away． According to a new study from the University of California， 9% of this is recycled， 12% is burnt and 79% goes to landfill． And because most plastic doesn't biodegrade， once it's in the ground， it stays there． （1）The study also shows that eight million tons of plastic waste are pouring into the sea every year．
Scientists have calculated the total amount of plastic ever made： 8.3 billion tons． That's as heavy as one billion elephants． And almost all of it has been made in the last 65 years．
（2）每个人都应该参与拯救地球． Protecting the environment is protecting ourselves． If the environment is taken good care of， we can have clean water and green mountains． （3）绿水青山或是金山银山．
What can we do as students？ Just say no to single﹣use plastics like straws， cups and bags． Many people love to drink from a straw or use plastic to carry things， but they are really bad for the environment．
（4）Bring your own chopsticks if you're planning to eat outside． It can be hard to remember．
Just put a pair of chopsticks in your bag before you leave home．

People have been trying to find out if homework is good or bad for school children， and they have different opinions．
（1）Some people think that homework is an important part of learning for students． They believe it not only enables children to practice what they have learned in class， but also helps improve their handwriting． They also say that homework helps teach children how to work on their own． （2）Also，it's a skill which is useful to them in future life．
Others disagree， though． （3）他们认为家庭作业给孩子们太多的压力． And the time spent on homework could have been used to do other activities like reading and playing sports． To back up their opinion， they give the example of Finland（芬兰）． （4）在芬兰，学生几乎没什么作业．But the country remains one of the most educationally successful countries in the world．
Here is my point of view（观点） on this matter． （5）Whether the homework is good or bad depends on the purpose of it． If there is no clear reason for giving homework， the students won't get anything from doing it， so it should not be set． However， I still believe that homework can really help with children's learning， if teachers clearly tell them why they should do the homework and let them know how they have done in their homework．

I got a chance to act the main character， Our play （剧本） was about a village girl called Mulan，（2）She dressed up like a boy and took her father's place to fight in the army． The play showed her love for her family， friends and country． Another boy from Group I played the emperor in The Emperor s New Clothes． （3）许多学生一次又一次大笑， Especially in the last scene， the emperor walked through the city without any clothes． Everyone said his new clothes were beautiful． But the young boy told the truth．
All the students watched the excellent performance given by the two groups． They were so excited that
they didn't leave until they took photos with all the performers． I did a good job at the play show． （4）每个人都喜欢我的表演，并且我们组获胜．

Not to awake till the birds are crying．

How many are the fallen flowers？
（2）这是中国有关春天最著名的诗词之一．It's simple and catchy（朗朗上口的）． （3）The poem writer doesn't directly say how much he loves spring． Instead， he writes about the details（细节） of the season， the birds， wind， rain showers and fallen flowers． His descriptions of these things show us the cheerfulness he feels during springtime．
（4）Chinese poem writers often write about the beauty of spring， such as the bright colors and fragrances（芬芳） of flowers． But the writer chose to write about the sounds of spring． （5）他清晨听到鸟儿们鸣唱． and remembered the sound of the wind and rain in the night． Writing about these sounds allows readers to picture spring using their own imagination．
