"Mom， "said Trevor， as he watched his mother washing the old cans （罐）， "why are you washing these old cans？"
"I'm getting them ready for being put into the recycling box，" said Mom．
"Well， they are rubbish to us， because we don' t need them anymore． I wash the cans out so that they won't attired insects，" said Mom． "We don' t use some things， but it doesn't mean they have no value． These cans can be melted （熔化） down to make new cans or other things．"
"I didn't think of that，" said Trevor． "Is that why you save all the cardboard（纸板） or newspapers too？"
Mom nodded， "That is also why I save all those vegetable bits， I use them all in our garden．"
"Our teacher told us about projects other classes had done for Earth Day， and she asked for suggestions for our class projects． I can't think of anything． Do you have any good ideas， Mom？" asked Trevor．
Mom wiped （擦） her hands with a towel （毛巾） and thought for a few minutes． "I saw an article in a magazine about wise ideas about recycling． It must be something you will be interested in．"

What a cold winter! How wonderful it would be if there were a fire! Fire keeps us warm. But fire is very dangerous, and can kill us. November 9 is National Fire Safety Day. It's a time for us to learn a lot more about fire, especially what to do if we are caught in a fire.
Call 119
Never try to put out a fire by yourself, even if it is a very small one. Get help from your parents or call 119. Tell 119 where you are and what is on fire. Listen to 119's instructions.
Keep down close to the floor
If there is a lot of smoke in your room, keep down close to the floor. There is less smoke down there, so it's easier to breathe(呼吸) and see where you are going. If you don't, the smoke may kill you before the fire does.
Don't use the elevator
Never use the elevator(电梯) during a fire. Always use the stairs. An elevator may stop at the floor where the fire is burning. It may also go wrong and keep you inside.
Don't go back
Never go back into a burning building. Even if you have left your pet or favorite toy inside, do not go back for it. Don't worry about your pets. Animals have a very good sense of smell(嗅觉). They often get out of the building before people.

Swimming and English Learning
Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave（勇敢）. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important when there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more pract
ice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.
