What do you think of friends? Well, let me tell you some ideas of my classmates.
Susan | Friends can help us find our shortcomings(缺点). They can also help us when we're in trouble. More friends mean more opportunities(机遇). |
Frank | Friends are really important and necessary in our life, but we shouldn't depend on(依赖) our friends too much. |
Peter | If you have a real friend, cherish(珍惜) your friendship. My best friend is Tony. I knew him when I was in primary school. Now we always play sports together after school and we often help each other. |
Sally | I have lots of friends. I always talk with them and share my happiness and sadness with them. I feel very happy to be with them. |
Amy | When I need help, I always ask my friends for help. Although friends can't help us with everything, I think in some ways friends are better than parents and teachers. |
One day, Lord Bao and his servant saw a little boy in the town. The boy usually sold oil in the street, but then he was crying.
"Little boy, why are you crying?" asked Lord Bao. "Every afternoon I put my head on this stone and have a sleep," the boy said. "I always put my money next to me. But now it isn't here!"
"I see," said Lord Bao. "So this stone is the thief!" He shouted at the stone, "Do you have this boy's money?" People in this street listened and laughed. They thought he was mad.
Lord Bao turned to them, "Are you calling me mad? I must fine(罚款) each of you a one-cent coin(硬币) for that!" Everyone stopped laughing. Lord Bao's servant opened his bag. "Put your coins in this bag," said Lord Bao.
Without speaking, people put their coins into the bag. Lord Bao watched very carefully. When a man in black put his coin into the bag, Lord Bao looked up at him. "You are the thief!" he said.
"But how do you know?" people asked in surprise.
Lord Bao carefully took the man's coin from the bag and said, "Look at the coin! The boy is an oil seller and always has oil on his hands. So this is the boy's coin, and this man is the thief."
① Everyone put a coin into the bag ② The thief took away the boy's money
③ All the people laughed at Lord Bao ④ Lord Bao saw the boy crying in the street
Birdwatching is a fun hobby. Many people enjoy it every day. You can also enjoy it. Birdwatching does not have to take a lot of time or money. With materials(材料) around your house, you can build a good birdhouse. You can start birdwatching in 30 minutes in your very own yard. It's very easy!
Materials you will need:
Milk box ●Glue ●Scissors ●Brown paint ●Tools for painting
To build a better birdhouse
⒈Clean and dry the milk box.
⒉Glue the top of the milk box shut.
⒊Cut holes into the milk box for the birds to get into the birdhouse. The size you use will determine which birds use the house. You can cut one hole per side, or two. A good place to cut is about four inches(英寸) from the bottom(底部).
⒋Paint your milk box brown. The color helps the birdhouse mix with the tree.
⒌Cut holes into the milk box in the bottom of the box to let out any dirty things. Add at least two small holes on the top of the box. The top holes are to let in clean air. Do this after painting, or the paint could fill in your holes!
⒍Put the box in a tree. You can see the birdhouse from a window of your house. Now you can watch your birds in any weather!
