1.How old are the apps on your smartphone? Is it time for an update? Here are three apps for you. Try them out

and have fun.

Duolingo

Learning a foreign language doesn’t always mean you have to sit in a class and take endless exams. An app

called Duolingo has been designed to help you memorize(记住)new words and grammar in creative ways, such

as online lessons, games and interesting exercises. For example, one exercise asks you to put words in the right

order to make the correct sentence. You can also try translation practice.

Douban FM

A music app is a necessity for almost every smartphone now. Douban FM might be the right thing for you.

There is no playlist on Douban FM—songs just keep streaming(播放)one by one. You can use the “heart”, “trash”

and “skip” buttons(按钮)to mark the songs you like, don’t like and want to cut short, respectively(分别地). Those

marked with a heart will be stored in another list as your favorites for you to listen to anytime you want. Douban

FM also has different channels (频道). There are many types of music, such as blues, jazz, and pop. You can

choose the music for outdoor activities, work or studying depending on your mood（心情）.

Flipboard

It is one of the hottest news apps right now. With Flipboard, you can make everything personal to you. All you

have to do is open up the app, “flip through” to select whatever interests you, and click the “+” button. At the end

you’ll have your own magazine, complete with a front page, new articles, and information.

2.Prom(高中毕业舞会)is a day you’ll never forget. It’s one of the most important events of your senior year, one

you certainly don’t want to miss.

About a month before prom, I started my countdown(倒计时). It took me about a week to find my dress. I bought

it secondhand, but it was the most beautiful dress I’d ever seen-not too fancy, just the look I wanted. My shoes

were bought from Wal-Mart. It might not seem the best place for shoes, but they were so comfortable that I

couldn’t wait to dance all night long in them. My cousin Melissa did my hair and make-up. I received so many

compliments(恭维）at prom about my hair and make-up and I felt grateful to her. I had much fun with a group of friends. We danced for four hours and I felt as if my feet were going to fall off.

After that came the dessert buffet(自助餐). There were four to five tables filled with sweets. I only had a piece of

chocolate cheesecake and this little cup of strawberry dessert, but both were to die for.

By the time the casino(老虎机)and magician arrived, everyone was super tired. I wanted to sleep, but I went out

into the hall with friends and took pictures. At around 6:30 am, we headed into the breakfast hall for breakfast

and goodbyes. Although it wasn’t the last time we would be seeing each other, it felt as if we were leaving behind

so much.

Prom is going to be one of the best times in your life. Don’t think of it as a dance. Think of it as a life-changing

moment. I know it was for me.
