We can enjoy a two-day weekend every week. Maybe two days are too short, but we can try to plan the time well. Here are some ideas.

★Get up early.

The weekend is not only a time to sleep in. Some of us get up for lunch! That’s too bad. You can have more free time if you get up early.

★Do the homework early.

We have to spend much time on our homework. You can feel better if you do your homework early. You can do homework on Saturday morning. And then you can play well. I often do my homework on Saturday morning, so I don’t have to worry about it on Saturdays or Sundays.

★Go out for fun.

Think about what you like to do. Plan a sports activity like playing football in the park. You can also visit a museum, a zoo or a park.

First, Eric goes to the playground（操场）. He meets his cousin Julie. They look around but cannot see his wallet. Then, Eric goes to the library. He sees his classmate Tom there. But, Tom doesn’t see his wallet. Last, he goes to his classroom. No one is in.

Eric is not happy. Then, his teacher Ms. Green comes in. “Eric, you don’t look well. What’s wrong?” “I lost my wallet. I can’t find it.” Eric says sadly.

 “What color is it?”

 “Yellow and blue.”

 “Is this your wallet? Tina finds it under your chair. And she gives it to me.” says Ms. Green.

“Yes! Thank you, Ms. Green.” says Eric. Eric is happy now.

“You’re welcome. Come on! Let’s go to have lunch.” Ms. Green says.

Most women and girls like shopping. They like to buy clothes best because they want to be more beautiful. Where can you buy clothes? Of course in clothes shops. Can you buy the right clothes for yourself? Here aretips for you.

  First, ask yourself a question: What style(款式) of clothes do you want? Then you can know your style of clothes.

  Then, choose the colour. You can find some clothes in all colours. Some people like red and others like green. Shy people may like cool colours (blue, green). Active (活跃的) people may like warm colours (yellow, orange, red).

  What can you do? Do you want to help others? My three best friends all like helping others.

Have you ever heard of e-waste(电子垃圾), which can be produced every day? How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they’re broken or you want a new one?

Most people just throw them away. With the development of electronic industry(电子产业), e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in2014, people around the world produced 41.8million tons(吨) of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 millions tons. The US the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.

   It’s important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine(城市矿藏). The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is surprising. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals（有毒化学物质）can get into the earth or air, affecting  the environment and people’s health.

Apple, for example, now recycle people’s used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce e-waste, we can buy longer lasting electronic products. If you have unwanted electronics, find a new home for them. You can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.
