A
Last year, we had an English teacher from the United States. We all called him Mr Black. He often told us, “English is very useful in the world.” He taught us very well. He was strict with us all. In class he always gave us more time to speak English. At first I could hardly understand a word and I could not talk to my classmates in English at all. But soon I found English was not so difficult and I could talk to my classmates in English. So I began to like it very much.
Now Mr Black teaches in another school. This year we have a new teacher, Mrs Green. She also teaches us very carefully. She often asks to recite the texts and play games. With the help of the two foreign teachers, we all make great progress. Now I am enjoying studying this subject. I’m sure I will learn a lot this year.

We each have a memory. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning languages. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

Today, Bob and I went to the countryside by bike. We enjoyed the fresh air and saw green mountains and tall trees. That was really wonderful.
When we arrived there, we were surprised to see trash everywhere. Bob said to me, “What awful pollution!” If the pollution gets worse, nothing will be able to live. Yes, in the future, there will be more people and tall buildings. Few people protect(保护) the environment(环境). There will be more pollution and more trash. There will be fewer birds and flowers. There will be fewer trees and green mountains. There will be less fresh air. We will live around trash. That will be awful!
How can we reduce(减少) pollution and save our world before it’s too late? I think it’s important and necessary for everyone to protect the environment. For example, we can pick up the trash and throw it into the trash can. We can help save our glass bottles and use them again. On the other hand, we can make laws(法律) to help save our trees and fresh air. Everyone can help to make our world more beautiful, including you!
