When you think of a museum, I bet you don't think of a place where children run around. But the Science Museum is different. It's noisy!
You can get to the Science Museum by going on the London Underground from Waterloo on the Jubilee Line to Westminster. Then take the Circle or the District Line to South Kensington. When you walk out, take a look around you, and you should see it.
What to bring: at least two bottles of drinks for the kids and f 10 to spend in the cafes. Entrance is free!
The most interesting and exciting part of coming here is to go to the kids' area, the Launch Pad on the 3rd floor. At busy times, you may have to wait in line, but staff(工作人员) will provide science toys for you and the kids to play with. It is great fun there. And if you love science, it should indulge(满足) you as you will learn about science in a fun way. There are also simulators(模拟装置) on the 3rd floor, so think of Floor 3 as a "fun floor".
If you want to learn about the museum, then go to the ground floor. They have some things which will interest you.
Over all, it's a fun experience for the kids and you may enjoy it too. It's also free to get in!
Going for a walk through the forest is my favourite part of a day. Benji loves it, too. There are rabbits to run after and flowers to smell. Benji is my dog, by the way, and I'm Grace.
I live on a farm with my parents and I take Benji for a walk most days after school. Dad doesn't think it is a good idea for me to wark through the forest. "Don't talk to strangers," he often says. Though the truth is that there's almost no one here, just me, Benji and lots of rabbits and birds.
One day, while Benji ran ahead, I stopped and took a photo of a beautiful butterfly that rested on a flower. A new Facebook photo? Maybe, but my friends at school usually tease me with the nickname "Nature Girl", so perhaps not. After putting my phone away, I heard Benji barking along the path. Benji usually barks to say hello, and he wouldn't hurt anyone. But of course, other people don't know that. Benji was barking and jumping round a boy. He was holding some wood in his arms and looked worried.
"Benji, stop! Come here!" I shouted. I reached into my bag for Benji's ball. I was about to say sorry to the boy, but he had gone.

To: Aggie@yahoo. com. From: Joe@heinfo. net Subject. Help! Date:21/06/2017 19:02 AM Dear Aunt Aggie, I'm having a problem with my classmate, Rena, at school. The other day I wrote an email to another classmate, Beth, in which I said some things about Rena that perhaps weren't very nice. Unluckily, when Beth was writing back to me, she accidentally forwarded（无意间转发）the message to Rena! Now Rena is really angry with me and won't talk to me, and Beth is unhappy as well. She's said sorry to me a hundred times already, but the harm is done. I feel bad, because I never would have said those things to Rena's face, but how do I get her to forgive（原谅）me? What should I do?

To: joe @ heinfo. net From: Aggie @ yahoo. com Subject: Some advice Date:22/06/2017 10:45 AM Dear Joe, This problem is more common than you might think! Email is very useful, but also very dangerous, as you don't know where your message might end up! First of all, you should say sorry right away to Rena. Explain that it was a mistake, and that you didn't mean to hurt her feelings. It may take time for her to be able to forgive you, but that's up to her. Then you might want to do something nice for her. Perhaps send her some flowers to show that you're truly sorry. Also, you should remember that old saying: “If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.” And good luck! Aggie |

join instead instead of need fix activity |
Dear Ms White,
I used to have a lot of problems and I always tried them. I used. to do badly in English. To fix it, I read English newspapers and went to the school English corner to improve it. Now I'm quite good at it. I used to be weak. To fix it, I ate right and a sports club. Now I'm strong and healthy. I used to be afraid of speaking in public. To fix it, I took part in all kinds of school Now I'm outgoing and everyone likes making friends with me. But now I have a problem that I can't fix. I have the ugliest nose in the whole world! It's not only fat but also big! I want to have a nose job (鼻子整形), but how can I get my parents to agree?
Yours,
Ann
Dear Ann,
It sounds like you're a really proactive (积极主动的) person, always fixing problems. That's good, but when it comes to things like your nose. you have to stop. It sounds to me that you're looking for things that are wrong with your body. That's very dangerous. Also, I'd like to point out that nobody is perfect. A nose doesn't reflect who you are, so there's no for you to feel bad about yourself at all.
In my opinion, as a student, you should pay more attention to your schoolwork your looks.
Best wishes,
Ms White
