⒈ Always remember to be careful in the lab.
⒉ Don't eat or drink in the lab.
⒊ Don't talk loudly.

⒍ Don't take things into the lab to do experiments until the teacher agrees.
⒎ Follow the teachers' instructions (指令) to do experiments.

⒐ Don't touch (碰) anything until the teacher asks you to do so.
⒑ Need to put all the things back after you finish the experiments.

These rules in our school lab are very important to our safety. I hope you understand them and follow the rules.
We went on a school trip to New York. We had a good time. There were twenty-four students and three teachers. It was a five-day trip, and we visited some attractions (景点).
We stayed at a hotel and six people shared (共享) one room. We often had our meals out of the hotel—there were a number of restaurants nearby. We went around the city, and we were really given quite a lot of freedom (自由). So long as (只要)we were back to our rooms by 10 p. m, we could go anywhere we wanted to. I was surprised at how safe I felt walking around New York in small groups. My friends and I enjoyed ourselves on the trip. I would like to advise you to go there. If you decide to go, you will have a great time!

One day, he up early. After washing his face, he ate a big and then went to his office as usual. On his way to the bus stop, he saw some men a guessing game on the street. One of them had two pencils in his hand. One pencil was long and the was short. If you wanted to win, you had to try to pick long one. Then you could get double of your money back.

It's the evening of the Dragon Boat Festival. My family are all at home. Look! My grandma is talking on the phone with my aunt in America. She misses her very much. So they talk on the phone once a week. My grandpa is reading a book by James Green. He likes reading very much. If he has time, he often reads in the living room. My brother is watching boat races on TV. It is exciting. As for me, I'm cleaning the table. Guess! What are we going to eat? Haha! Zongzi! My parents are making them in the kitchen. They smell very delicious! I think we are going to have a wonderful evening tonight! If you want to eat zongzi, just come to my home and enjoy them with us.
