Lots of students are interested in wild animals such as elephant, tigers, snakes, zebras,giraffes and so on. Here's some information about zebras and giraffes.
Zebras live in some parts of Africa. They live in groups. That's why we often see zebras walking and running in groups. Zebras look a lot like horses.
In fact, horses are their nearest relatives. Zebras are famous for their black and white stripes (条纹). Each zebra's pattern (图案) of stripes is different. The patterns look similar, but they are uniquelike humans' fingerprints (指纹).No two have the same pattern. How do zebras protect themselves from their enemies? They can stay alive because they run fast to avoid lions and other enemies.
Giraffes live in parts of Africa,too.They are brown and yellow.Their patterns are different.Giraffes are the tallest animals of all.They are one of the world's heaviest animals,and their heats are the biggest of any animal s.They have long legs and long necks.Their necks are long,so they can reach high into tees to cat the leaves,which give giraffes most of the water they need.Giraffe's long legs mean they take big steps when they walk or run.They can run very fast, so they can protect themselves from dangerous animals such as lions.

Good morning, boys and girls. Today I’ll talk about going online.
We know that there are too many Net bars (网吧) around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use computers. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more around us. It may make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we send e-mails to our friends, they can get them at once. It can help us keep in touch with people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the Net bars all day and all night. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t want to study any more. I think we shouldn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after class. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. You can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoons. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot and spend less time on the Internet.
That’s all! Thank you.
