I Love Summer
It is true that summer is hot, very hot. But the wicked summer sun is nothing to me, for I don't usually go out. What I like to do best during the long summer vacation is to stay in my own little room and read. I love to read, but during the school year I could hardly find a free moment for reading. Endless assignments press down upon me like a mountain. I feel confined and imprisoned. Once the summer vacation es, however, I have all the time in the world to read and read and read. I read everything I want to read. I read to my heart's content. My room maybe *** all, and the sun maybe hot, but I'm free, I'm happy, I'm really living! Oh, how I love summer!
My First Time at the English CornerIt was a beautiful Sunday. Our teacher told us that there would be an English Corner near the gate of the People’s Park. I started off soon after breakfast.It was already 9:20 when I got there. To my joy, the English Corner had just been on for a few minutes. Oh, what a big crowd! There were professors, teachers, cadres①, engineers, workers, students and PLA men. Some were reading the SSP (Shanghai Students’s Post), some were talking while others were listening attentively②. Everyone was eager to learn from others.I joined them in their talk. At first, I was afraid that my English was so poor and limited that I couldn’t follow them or make myself understood. I was also afraid that someone might laugh at me. But a *** iling face here and an encouraging nod there soon put me at ease③. I became bolder and came to speak English with them freely.We talked about the situation at home and abroad, about our school life, our hobbies and our ideas. We exchanged experience in our studies with one another and shared views, all in English. I learned a lot of knowledge and made a lot of friends. Through practice, we all improved our English.The day was unfettable. Though today we speak only in simple English, we all believe that tomorrow we will make greater progress in English
Buying Vegetables This morning I got up early and went to the market to buy some vegetables instead my mother for the first time.The market was very crowded and busy with nearly all kinds of goods on display. Some sellers were shouting at the top of their voice to attract the attention of the people. Housewives were picking out vegetables and bargaining with the sellers. A man was selling fresh fish, which were swimming in a big basin, and a lot of buyers crowded around it and chose what they wanted. One fruit seller, standing behind piles of fresh fruit, greeted me Warmly, trying to persuade me to buy some. He felt a little disappointed when I shook my head. What a busy and noisy market!

It can cause a lot of diseases. Meanwhile *** oking is a waste of money. Besides, careless *** okers may cause dangerous fires.

Therefore, I hope all the *** okers can give up *** oking for themselves and also for the people around them.
With industries and business developing quickly, the number of trees in many big cities has dramatically reduces. Efforts are being made to prevent people from cutting more trees. But a lot of trees are being destroyed by people who have never thought of the importance of green plants.
Making cities greener has many advantages. First, it can make our air cleaner. Some researchers have proved that trees can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through absorption. Second, it can make our cities more beautiful. With trees and flowers everywhere, living conditions can be improved. Finally, it can produce timber----an effective way to solve the problems of limited supply of natural resources.
Making our cities greener requires nationwide efforts. People in every field should not only know about the importance of keeping the quality of urban environment, but also take mon action to plant more trees and flowers so as to improve our living conditions.
I make it a rule to read the newspaper every day. As a student, I have no time to watch news programs on TV. Besides, watching television takes up a lot of time. Consequently, reading the newspaper bees the only way for me to learn about what's happening around the world.
There is an old Chinese saying: "A scholar need not leave his home to know what's going on in the world." While newspapers do not carry the latest, up-to-the minute world news, they give us a great deal of useful knowledge. Thus, reading the newspaper is, in my opinion, a must for those who wish to keep up with the times
