A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck.but when you are down,they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质）of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠）Above all else，I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead，he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person‟s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time，however，a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错）in others. He notices their good points. In short，a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives，and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experiences and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.When I meet someone who is reliable, honest and understanding，I know I，ve found a friend! ( )1.

Laughing, one woman said to the other,'*She's not from anywhere!” The two we nt to their desks, talking to each other in Arabic.The next day, the teacher divided the students into groups of four.

She explained that she had not wanted to get into an Arabic conversation with them. It had been her experience that many ESL students continued to speak their native (本国的）language in ESL class, and Tara had not come to ESL class to practice her Arabic.

Y. O. T. (Bring your own technology). This program allows students to bring iPads to school for study. One aim for this program is that t he students don‟t need to carry textbooks any more.

Another one is that they can get free educational subjects to play in their free time!Schools have set up a free Wi-Fi system just for the B. Y. O. T. program. Thank teachers for all their hard work to set this program up. I really think this program will go well in most schools and I also think the learning will be better than ever.However, some schools will probably not allow this because they think that it will make kids mess around too much and they might break their iPads.This program will let students have fun and learn at the same time. If you like your iPads and you like to read, school is getting started with reading with iPads. High schools and middle schools have already started and so have some elementary schools.

According to their different aims in doing sports，they fall into three groups.Many students go to the playground when they feel tired after a few hours of study. These students put much more stress on their study efficiency(效,宇〈）than the lun of sports. They just want to go back to their classrooms from the playground with a dearer and quicker mind. So they don‟t actually care whether they can enjoy themselves on the playground.①Most of them choose long-distance running, the kind of exercise which few real sportsmen like. So this group of students can be well regarded as study- oriented sports participants(参加者）.Students that make up the second group are real sports lovers.Sometimes they even put their studies aside for a match.②They participate in the sport that interests them most，not caring whether it is good for their health. They may be called fun-oriented sports participants.The third group want beauty from sports. Boys want to become strong；girls want to be slim and graceful. Those who consider sports the only way of losing weight also belong to this group. They are very careful in choosing the kind of exercise they do，and are afraid that certainsports may influence their body shapes. The proper name for this group may be beauty-oriented sports participants.No matter which group we belong to，we all benefit from sports. If you look around the school yard, you will find that bookworms have disappeared，and instead, there are healthy, strong, clever and modernized students everywhere.( )1.

There are new words，new grammar, and new pronunciation. Language is an important part of culture. Becoming familiar with the culture as well as the language can make the learning experience much more interesting.When I was a university student，I studied Chinese for three years. Before I went to university，I had very little knowledge of China. Therefore, when I started learning to speak Chinese, it was important for me to also learn about China‟s history and culture. China‟s culture is very different from my own and I become interested in it soon.It will be much more fun to learn about culture when you study a new language. Culture can teach you so many things about a language. It can give you background information about the language and tell you the history of the language. I also found out one fact, that is，if you know about the country and the culture, you will communicate with its people much easier.Whenever I try to learn a new language, I enjoy knowing information about the culture as well. It‟s a challenge to find deeper for more information, but it is very rewarding!( )1.
