Do you remember your dreams? Do people have the same dreams? Why do we dream? There are many questions about dreams. We dream during the REM (rapid eye movement) stage of sleep. We have about five periods of REM sleep during the night. The first REM cycle lasts about 10 minutes. As the night goes on, the REM cycle gets longer. By early morning, the REM cycle can last up to 90 minutes. Usually, it is in this last REM cycle that we remember our dreams.

  Dreams change as people age. People may have several dreams each night. Some are like films and usually in color. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something and trying to find the answer. Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can’t remember the dreams clearly.

It is reported that too much dreaming is bad for our health. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work. That is why we may have a long sleep and still feel tired when we wake up.

“Come on, Dad! It’s 7:20 a.m. now,” said Harry.

“Today I can’t drive you and Jane to school, because I need to wash the car now,” Mr. Smith said. “You have to walk to school this morning, OK?”

“But the school is a little far,” said Jane.

“Walking is good. Now get your schoolbags and go!”

Then Jane and Harry walked to school. It took 30 minutes. When they got to school, they were very tired.

In the evening, Jane and Harry had dinner with their grandpa. They told him they were not happy to walk to school. Grandpa said, “That’s good for you. I used to (过去常常) walk two kilometers to school every day.”

“Really?” Jane said. “But I don’t like walking.”

Grandpa said, “Kids need to walk or run every day. It’s good for your health. Remember it’s very important to be healthy for kids. ”

“Oh, I’ll start walking every day,” Harry said. “I want to keep fit.”

“I will join you, Harry,” said Jane.

When we buy a house, we all want to have nice neighbours, because most of us think that it is helpful to live with some good neighbours. But what kind of neighbour is good? The answers are different from people to people. Here are my answers.

First, it is very important to respect (尊重) each other. If our neighbour tries to know more about our life, what will we feel? He or she may also talk with others about our life. Do you want to live with him or her any more? The answer is “No”. We will feel very sad to have this kind of neighbour and move away quickly.

Next, a good neighbour is always ready to give us a hand when we need him or her. For example, if we are not at home, our good neighbour will watch our house for us. 

Finally, a good neighbour should love the environment (环境). He or she never puts rubbish here and there. Good neighbours should keep the place clean, because the good environment can make us comfortable and happy.

I think we all should learn to be good neighbours, and I also hope everyone will have good neighbours and live a happy life.

  Local markets are interesting places. People go to markets early in the morning to buy fruits, vegetables, meat and fish. People also love local markets because the food is very fresh and cheap. Fruits, vegetables and meat often come from the farm the same day they are sold. The fish are often very fresh and come to the market straight from the fishing boat. But the market doesn't sell the same things every day. You can only buy some fruits and vegetables during some Certain(特定的) season.

    At the market, vendors(小贩) sell chicken, pork and beef. Just tell the vendor what kind of meat you want. Then say how much you want, and they will prepare the meat for you. If you don't want to cook, you can also buy cooked food at the market. Then you can take it home and eat it.

    Do you need any non-food items(非食品)? You can find those at the market, too! You can buy toys or books there. Do you need some new clothes or new shoes? You can also buy those at the market. Many people like to shop at the market, They can buy almost everything they need in one place.

I have a special job. I help a boy, Sam.

Every day I take Sam to school. I stay with Sam at school all day. In P.E. class, I always walk and run next to Sam. I don’t want Sam to fall down! I like Sam’s music class a lot. All the children sing, so I sing with them. Everyone thinks I am very funny. They like making friends with me.

After school I take Sam to buy an ice-cream. He always gives me some of his ice-cream. I love ice-cream! Then we sometimes walk home together or take the bus. The people on the bus always smile and tell me, “Good boy!”

In the evening, I relax next to Sam’s chair. He eats dinner and then he does his homework. At night, Sam sleeps in his bed. I sleep on the floor next to him. I don’t want to leave him! It’s my job to take care of him.

      We live in a much better life than we used to. However, health is still a problem all over the world. Sometimes it seems quite serious.

      People need more health care, especially in developing countries. Look at the following table made by World Health Organization (WHO).

      The table shows that developed countries have 20 per cent of the world's population but take 90 per cent of the health care. For example, a Japanese spends five hundred dollars on health care every year. However, a person in a poor country spends only three dollars a year!

      There is another health problem in developing countries. Fifty years ago, people lived a life of about forty-six years on average(平均).Now most people in the world live twenty years longer than before. People in the poorest countries, however, live a much shorter life than people in developed countries. There are thousands of patients in poor countries; most of them are children. In 2002, almost 57,000,000 people died of different kinds of diseases. And nearly 20 per cent were children under five.

    It's time for us to do something to help these children!
