The students' life today is very busy. They are under pressure(压力)every day. They need a break from it .Parents ask children to do something else.let them relax in front of the TV. A hobby is the (good)answer.
There are many different kinds of hobbies. Chess is a good example. It is a very(enjoy)game and it also helps children develop their thinking skills.
(collect)something is also a good hobby for children. A child can collect almost anything. Collecting can be interesting and fun. They teach children a lot. For example，gardening is a useful hobby it is a physical activity and it also (teach)children about nature. Children may become experts in something if they (real)love their hobbies.
Children will also learn to become organized. Hobbies will also teach children a lot about responsibility(责任).
There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world. But only a few. of them are very important. English is one of them. Many, many people use it, not in England and the USA, but also in other parts of the world. About 400, 000, 000 people speak it their own language. It is difficult (say) how many people are learning it as a foreign language.(million) of people are trying to do so. Is it easy or difficult to learn English？Different people may have different（answer）.
The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should remember that we all learned our own language when we were children. If we could learn English the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears.
So it is hard to say that (learn) English is easy. We must do a lot of practice. And practice needs great efforts(努力) and takes much time. Good teachers, records, tapes, books, and dictionaries will be(help) , but they cannot do the student's work for him.

His novel, Red Sorghum, came out in 1986, and it was made into a film by Zhang Yimou. It was his (one) big success.

Do you like to travel? Which means of transport do you like (well), cars, trains, ships or planes?
The (fast) way of travelling is by plane. a plane, we can travel in one day to a place which it (take) a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.
Travelling by train is (slow) than by plane, but we can see beautiful scenery during the travel. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining compartments(车厢). They make the longest journey (enjoy).
Some people like travelling by ship. There are large luxury liners(客轮) and river boats. They are not as (fast) as trains or planes, traveling by ship is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car because they can make their own timetable. They can travel (hundred) of miles a day, just as they wish. They can stop wherever they want to see something interesting or to enjoy a good meal at a good restaurant, or to spend a night at a hotel. That is people like travelling by car for pleasant trips, while they usually take trains or planes for business.
Dear David,
I'm glad you're going to Beijing to learn Chinese. Every year，there are (million)of foreigners coming to China to learn Chinese. China is one of the greatest (country)in the world and Chinese is becoming more and more (use).Many foreigners are learning now. But it may be more difficult for foreigners to learn Chinese，because it's different English. As a language，Chinese is getting as (important)as English. So I think it's also a new challenge(挑战)for you. If you want to learn it (good), you should study harder before. Remember to listen to the radio to practise your listening. It's a good idea to catch every chance(机会)to talk in Chinese. It's important (do)some reading and writing. If you have any (question)，please ask me. I'm sure you'll make it.
Hope to see you soon in Beijing！
Yours,
Li Ping

Today I went on a school trip. We (visit) the science museum and it was really interesting. We got there so fast by train. We saw some farms and villages the way. At the museum, I (learn) a lot about robots. I didn't know they could play chess with us. It was so cool! Then the guide taught us how (make) a model robot. I took a lot of great photos, too. After that, l went to the gift shop and bought some lovely gifts for my parents. They (not be) expensive. All in all, it was an exciting day.

I think today's school trip was terrible. We (take) the train to the museum. It was so hot on the slow train. The museum was big and boring. Everything (be) about robots and I'm not interested in that. The rooms were really dark and it was difficult (take) photos, I didn't take any. There were also too many people and I couldn't really see or hear the guide. The things in the gift shop were so expensive. I didn't like the trip all.

My parents are often very busy. Today they were free, so they wanted to take my brother and (I) to an art show. But it was hot and I wouldn't like (go). My brother said yes at first. After I asked him to play computer games with me, he'd like to stay(待) at home, too.
"Then we two will go the WiFi router(无线路由器)," my mother said.
"OK," I said.
After my parents (leave), I found I made a mistake(错误). With no WiFi router at home, I couldn't (use) the Internet. (lucky), my brother was at home. We cleaned our room then played some card games.
My parents came home in afternoon. They showed me some (photo) of the show, and I found I made another mistake. The show was (interested).
I missed a show and a day with my parents today. How sad!
Zhang Bo started to have great interest in meteorites (陨石) in 2009 when he saw a meteor in Hainan. So far, he (find) more than 10 meteorites.
"I (ride) a bike around Hainan Island at that time. At night, I saw a meteor streaking across the sky before it fell the South China Sea," he said.
The falling meteor lit up (点亮) not only the sky, but also Zhang's life. "I was unable (sleep) that night. Maybe I would live a different life if I didn't see the meteor."
Soon after that, Zhang started to study meteorites. He even began to search for (they). But it was not easy sometimes could be very dangerous. Once on a visit to Altay, an area of Xinjiang, he found he couldn't open door of the house one morning. When he (final) made it to the outside, he discovered that the house had been buried (掩埋) by snow.
Zhang said when he saw the meteorites he would think of planets in our universe.
"It takes (million) of years for meteorites to reach the earth. They bring us information about the universe and help us (well) understand it than before," he said.
