I am very busy on Friday. (1). 在8点我上数学课。It is not fun. (2). The teacher says it is useful. But I think it is difficult. Then at 9:00 I have science. It is difficult but interesting. At 10:00 I have history. After that, I have P.E. at 11:00. It is easy and fun. (3). Lunch is from 12:00 to 1:00. And after that we have Chinese. It is my favorite subject. (4).

Internet is educational. Many people think children should be allowed(允许) to surf the Internet as they wish. In this way, they can look through different subjects on different kinds of websites(网页) according to their own interest. But in my opinion(观点), children should always be watched while surfing the internet. 

Many websites have information and pictures that children should not see .There are many things that children don’t understand .All of these may have some bad influence(影响) on children’s development. Also, it is dangerous to let children use chat rooms by themselves .Many parents tell their children not to talk to strangers on the street. So, they should be careful of whom their children talk to on the internet, too. What’s more , sitting in the front of a computer for a long time isn't good for children’s eyes , so parents should monitor(监视) the time that children spend on the internet .      

In a word, children should be kept away anything that could be bad for them. I strongly believe that it is necessary for parents to watch their children when they use internet.

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns.

The first son went in winter，，the third in summer，and the youngest son in the①fall.

When they had all gone and come back，he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly. The second son said no. It was covered with green leaves，and full of hope. The third son disagreed. He said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful，it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them. He said there was lots of fruit in the tree，full of life and harvest(收获).

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right，but they had each seen only one season in the treeˈs life. He told them“You cannot judge a tree，or a person by only one season and its true nature－the pleasure，joy，and love that come from that life can only be judged at the end，when all the seasons are up.”

If you give up when itˈs winter，you will miss the promise of your spring，the beauty of your summer，harvest of your fall. Donˈt let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.

New rules and behavior standards(行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. Middle schools are going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won’t only have high marks. The following are some of new rulers.

Tell the truth. Have you ever cheated in an exam? Don’t do it again! That is not something honest students should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don’t tell your parents you have done homework.

Do more at school.①好学生热爱动物并且关心他人. April is Bird-loving month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate it? Join in it！In this way, you can learn how to protect animals. And when your classmates are in trouble, remember to give them a hand. You know a friend in need is a friend indeed.

 Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you find another planet in space in the future. Don't look down on new ideas. ②You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.

    Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.
    Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet are bad for kids, so try to find good Web sites and use them for fun or homework. But don’t spend much time on it, one or two hours a week is enough for you.
