Keep More Food on the Table
It's said that in some parts of the world，people are facing the problem of hunger．So what can we do to help them？Here are some suggestions：
Cook from the fridge
Start with the fresh foods．If you have some in the fridge，use them first．Make a meal with what you have got instead of running out to the supermarket for something else．
Learn to read the labels
"Best﹣before"and"use﹣by"dates are more important．Learn to know the different periods of foods and know how to cook them in the right way．For example，black bananas are proper for baking，fresh vegetables are good in soups，and bread that is not fresh can be turned into small pieces．
Use the freezer（冷冻室）
The freezer can keep foods fresh until you are ready to cook them，and store the cooked foods until you're ready to eat them．It's also the best place for the remaining food．Mark the date of the food nearby，so it's easy to find the foods you need to eat first and you will never leave them there for too long．
Shop with a list
Plan meals ahead of time so that you know exactly what to buy．Doing this helps reduce food waste because it's possible to buy too much of a certain food and then forget to eat or cook it later．

Summer schools
Summer vacation means long days，sleeping in or enjoying the summer sun．It is quite true for students to enjoy a rest after a long and difficult year．But more and more parents fear their kids forgetting a lot of knowledge，so they send their children to summer schools．Because summer schools can help children go over the knowledge that they have learnt during the school year．
In summer schools，students probably study in a more relaxing situation and can come up with interesting topics for discussion with their teachers．Usually，the number of students attending summer schools is smaller，so this gives them a good chance to connect with other students and teachers better．If a student has failed a course，summer schools may help him or her．Moreover，they are building their creativity （创造力）and imagination（想象力）as well as learning social skills．
On the other hand，summer schools bring children problems at the same time．It takes children the whole summer vacation to learn without playing．That is too long．As a result，it may make them less interested in school during the coming year．
For many students，taking summer classes can be a tiring experience．Teachers teach the subjects too quickly．which only harms the whole education of students．Summer schools are usually expensive．They usually offer only a few subject．So many students have to take classes that they don't like．
A summer school can be a good chance for students who need it，but it can be difficult for students who need a rest．SO you can decide whether a summer school is suitable for your children．
