Years ago, when Dad moved to the USA, I had to go to school in New York. I was worried. How could I, an eight-year-old girl from 1, make friends in America?
On my first day at Anna Silver School, I met Miss Green, my class 2. She spoke to me slowly and 3 to get me used to her American accent. When she discovered that I 4 drawing, she encouraged me a lot. Miss Green made sure that I could fit into her class easily, and before I knew it, I was already having 5 fun, just as other schoolgirls could.
When Dad was sent back to India, I had to6 Anna Silver School. I was 7 again Miss Green had planned to take us students for a 8 trip, but I had to say goodbye to them now. So, with a 9 heart, I left my school and the USA. Back in India, I received a package one day. It was 10 Miss Green and my 24 classmates. They had written me a letter each, 11 me about the fishing trip. Miss Green said she 12 me very much. With her good wishes, she added, "Keep up with your drawing 13 you love it so much."
I'm very 14 to Miss Green. She not only made a shy little 15 feel at home in a faraway country, but also taught me and my classmates to understand the importance of being kind to others at an early age.
Betty and I are best friends. Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year, we had a costume party instead.
While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, "Why not invite John?" John had been in our class for only a few months, but he was already getting better grades in Maths than anyone else in class. I wrinkled (皱起) my nose, “Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day. How could he even afford a costume?" Mum said nothing. The next day, mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate (凭证) in it. "I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John" Mum said. But how? We didn't want to make John embarrassed. We discussed it for a long time. Finally, Betty and I had a good idea.
On the day of our party, kids arrived, dressed differently. John arrived, in an old sheet (床单), but still in the same brown pants as usual. We danced, ate snacks and played games in groups. Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice, “Now it is time for the great prize game. It is the following riddle……". It was a maths game. None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.
Everything went on well as we planned. John wore a new pair of pants and a new shirt the next week. He felt happy. So did we.
When we help others, we need to find a proper way, or we may hurt them in another way.
Reading is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons.
First, reading is fun. You can always keep yourself happy if you like reading, and you will never feel bored or tired.
Next, you can read a book anywhere-in a car, on a plane, or even in the bathroom. All you need is a book!
Another good reason for reading is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby, you will get better and better at it. And you will read faster and find it easier to understand what you read. As your reading skills improve, you will probably find your schoolwork becomes much better.
Some people say that reading is out of date (过时的). This is not true. You can read on computers, and the better you read, the better your computer skills will be.
Good readers may become writers, too. They always have more things to write about.
Reading is a wonderful hobby. Why not start reading right now?
Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical (典型的) high school and its students.
A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about l, 500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan (租借) than buy them. Students must pay back if they lose any of them.
American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years old, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver's exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.
Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take Science, Maths, English and Social Studies. They can choose Art, Homemaking, Fashion Design and other classes. In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: Health Education, Physical Education or Foreign Language Studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.
The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students are involved in after-school activities. These activities include sports-especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. We can share s with our friends and turn to them for help when we are in trouble. In a word, it is nice to have a friend to t，laugh and do things with. Certainly, sometimes we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel 1 if we never had a friend.
To make f, you must be friendly. A cheerful person smiles. A smile always makes others like you. Smile at someone and you are sure to get a smile b from him
Try to remember names. It m your new friends feel happy when you call them by their names, b you don't forget them.
No two people are just the same. If you don't agree with other people, you should still be friendly. Do not argue, but d. You always lose friends if you argue too much. And you should think more of others than o yourself. It's good for teenagers to have one or a group of good friends. This is very i in children's growing up, because friends can discuss things which are too difficult to say to their family members.
There's more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well and it could be good just knowing that someone cares about you.
