It's hard when the best friend isn't around—maybe because you move to a different or a different class. You may feel lonely at break. What can you do?
The thing is looking around your classroom. And think about who you'd like to play with. You can "hi" to them, smile and be friendly. Ask them-to enjoy some-thing or talk them about something they may be interested in.
If you feel shy, ask your teacher for help. Teachers always match up students well. The best way to make is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, say nice things and help others. Soon you won't feel lonely any more.
What do you often do on weekends? Watch TV? Enjoy (you) with friends? For Wang Licheng, he often (help) his father sell pancakes at his father's store.
Wang Licheng is eleven-year-old boy from Zaozhuang, Shandong. Many people know him because there is a short video about him on the Internet. In the video, Wang is (wear) a blue T-shirt. He is busy cutting pancakes and putting them into bags. It looks like he is good at (make) it.
When Wang was very young, his mother (leave) them. Every weekend, Wang gets to the store with his father and works for over ten (hour) a day.

The Internet is changing our way of life. Here is a report about it.
"May I borrow your pencil, Sarah? I can't find my own one" Mary asked. Sarah was surprised about that and asked, "I can lend it to you, but I would like to know why you come to me to borrow so often?"
"Because you never lose any of your things, and always know where to find them," Mary said. "I don't know why you can do that, but I can't." Then Sarah told her the secret (秘诀) was to have a place for everything and put everything in its place after using it.
But Mary couldn't believe that because she thought it was very difficult for one to put away a thing as soon as he had used it, she thought it was a waste (浪费) of time. However, Sarah's answer changed her mind and taught her a lesson that she would remember.
Sarah said, "Putting things away is not a waste of time, but our comfort (舒适) is. How much more time will it take to put a thing in its place, than to look for it or to borrow whenever you want to use it?"
D To borrow things from others if she can't find her own.
What do you do if you want to give gifts to people and you don't have much money? Here are some do-it-yourself gift ideas to try.
To your parents
| You can clean your house, sing a song, write a letter to your mom and dad. You can also draw a picture for them if you like that better. These are the best gifts for them. |
To your teacher
| You can make a nice card with the words of thanks on it. You can write down the favorite thing you learned or something you don't understand in the teacher's class. These will make your teacher feel happy. |
To your friend
| When your friend has his birthday, you can make a birthday card for him by hand, or you can sing the song Happy Birthday to him. It's a small thing, but it means a lot to him. |
Do you like to learn a foreign language? Do you think English-is not easy to learn? Foreigners say learning Chinese is not easy for them. We use a different character (字) for each word. For foreigners, it is hard to remember them. They find reading and understanding the same word in different sentences are the most difficult.
Chinese is more popular around the world today. More and more foreigners are interested in the long history and colorful culture of China, they start to learn Chinese. China is developing fast. It is staying ahead in many fields and playing an important role in the world.
Chinese is becoming a world language. Many countries have Chinese classes in their schools. For example, in the UK, students used to choose Spanish, Latin, French and other foreign language courses. But now schools encourage their students to study Chinese.
Just as the foreigners do, we also learn foreign languages. Different languages carry different cultures. So learning a foreign language is necessary. When we learn a foreign language, we not only have a useful tool of communication but also experience a new culture. What's more important, learning a foreign language well will help us tell our own stories to the world.
You can get some interesting things and useful information from a television show or an Internet site. Some computer games also help you learn. You might use a computer and the Internet to help you with homework.
Some kids spend almost all their free time watching television or using a computer. Here are two reasons why this is not good:
Not Getting Enough Exercise
When you sit in front of a television or computer, you do-not move very much. This means your body is not getting exercise. People need exercise every day to stay healthy. Exercise helps the blood flow (流动) around inside the body. This is very important. Get-ting exercise can help you sleep well at night. It is easy for you to learn well at school if you have a good sleep.
Not Spending Enough Time with Friends
Spending time with friends is an important part of growing up. It helps you learn how to get along with other people. If you are sad or worried about something, talking with a friend can help you feel better. Playing and laughing with friends are fun ways to spend time.
It is fine to watch television and play computer games just for fun. Make sure you do not spend too much time on the computer or watching television. Go outside, enjoy the fresh air, and do something active with friends. Then you will have a healthy and happy life!
