第3期：假定你是某中学生英语报的小记者，请根据以下漫画内容写一篇英语短文投稿。要求;1,描述漫画内容；2，发表感想。
3 Two birds are flying above some trees to look for a place to have a
rest. A saw, which used to cut down trees, is lying among the roots.
The young bird cried to her mother, “Isn’t there any place for us to
go to?” The answer is “No” because no trees are left at all,
Obviously, their homelessness result from the deforestation(乱砍滥伐) by human beings.
Although there may be a need to cut down trees. We humans need
to protect the forests. Trees are not just beautiful; they also provide
good things for humans and for the environment.
Can we imagine a world without trees? [No, definitely not.] So we
must all join hands to prevent deforestation. For example, we must
use paper products responsibly and make sure to recycle paper
products.

第4期：有的人在帮助别人时期望得到某种回报，有的人却不求回报。请你结合以下图文以：“帮助别人是否要求回报”为题写一篇英语短文，说明你的观点。
‾先生，麻烦你给孕妇让个座嘛！
‾什么报酬？
To except a reward or not?
4 A heavy pregnant woman(孕妇) managed to get into a crowded
and noisy bus but didn’t find a seat. When asked to give her a seat.
Some asked for a reward or some money.
Some people always except a reward or some money [when they
do a good deed(事迹).(when doing a good deed) ] For example, it is
reported that someone asks for money for just giving directions to
strangers in some big cities. Meanwhile, the majority of people help
others out of trouble. They ask for no money , fame, even a“thank
you”. As is known to us all, a poor old man offered some money to
poor student by collecting and selling discarded materials.（废品）
[I think that helping others is a basic value for us. No one can
knows how and when he or she will be helped by others in the future.
Only by helping others first can we be helped by others.]
第5期：假如你是李明，你要参加学校组织的一次主题为“Life in
100 years”的演讲。请你充分发挥想象，写一篇英语演讲稿，描述你对未来生活的憧憬和看法。
Ladies and gentlemen, I’m very glad to stand here and give you a
short speech. Today my topic is“Life in 100 years”. I hope you will be
interested in it.
No one can predict what the word will be like in 100 years. I think
it will be better to live them.
5 In 100 years, I think that borders will disappear with the
development of science and technology. People will move easily not
only to other areas of earth but also to other planets in space.
The future car will have a device on seats, which can be changed to
fit adults and children instead of the present fired ones. It won’t need
a driver because it is controlled by computer. Everything will be
connected by the Internet.
I’m looking forward to that life in the future.
