Today I’ll give you a talk about going online.We know that there are too many Net bars(网吧) around us. The Internet makes our lives interesting. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we send e-mails to our friends,they can get them right away. It can help us keep in touch with people from all over the world.But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the Net bars all day and all night. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. I hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.That’s all! Thank you.Title(标题): A __91__ about going onlineAdvantages (优点) ●Make our lives __92__●Learn how to use the computer and can get more __93__.●Send e-mails to our friends anytime and they can get them right __94__.●Help us keep in __95__ wi th people from all over the world.Disadvantages (缺点) ●It __96__ too much time to play computer games.●Some students spend too much time __97__ online, so they do __98__ in their lessons.AdviceDo it in summer or winter holidays; do some __99__ activities and have some__100__ groups in school.91. talk 92. interesting 93. information 94. away 95. touch96. takes 97. chatting 98. worse 99. after-school 100. interest(三)We go to school every day and enjoy our school life. School life is full of fun, and the school seems to be the safest place in the world.But do you know that our school life could be dangerous if we are not careful enough? Howdo we make the school safer and keep us away from danger? Here are some tips for us to be safein an easy way. For example, we must remember some important rules in the playground. Beforewe do sports, we need to do some warm up activities(热身运功),and after that we should drinksome water. And in the classroom, we need to learn how to behave well. Don’t run in the hallways.We mustn’t fight with or run after each other. And teachers need to keep an eye on the studentsafter class and stop them from running. We students should remember not to be naughty and getinto trouble. What’s more, we can have some practice to learn to protect ourselves from a fire. Inthis way, we can know where to go if there is a fire in our school. We should learn to use the fire extinguisher（灭火器）,too. I don’t think we should put our a fire by ourselves, because it is too dangerous for young students. Well, I think all of us should think more of our safety in school.How to keep___(66)______in the schoolIn the playgroundDo some warm up activities__(67)____doing sports Drink some water___(68)_____doing sportsIn the __(69)____ Don’t run in the hallways.Teachers need to__(70)___their students carefully.

Things have changed.China has decided to take action to stop the use of free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using plastic bags. The rule(规定) started on June 1. It came because our country tried to make litter less.The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they made the environment pollution(污染) more serious and wasted a lot of energy as well. People throw the used plastic bags away here and there. The thrown-away plastic bags are not easy to break. So the Chinese government encourages people to bring their own bags or baskets for shopping.What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students have good ideas. They make their own shopping bags. They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags or baskets for shopping.
