It's not WASTE until it is WASTED

    With the World Environment Day coming, our school is now requiring every student to form a habit of sorting the waste.

    Here in our schoolyard we lay four different colors of rubbish bins for different kinds of rubbish. The red is for harmful waste; the blue is for waste that can be recycled(循环再用); the green is for kitchen waste; the yellow is for other waste.

    The following are some instructions for you

    Glass: Empty bottles without caps can be recycled to make new glass bottles.

    Warning: Mirrors and light bulbs(电灯泡) must not be included in the glass waste.

    Paper: Newspapers, magazines, boxes must be clean enough to be recycled.

    Warning: Paper tissues (餐纸) and wall paper are not recyclable as paper and should be kept separately.

    PMD waste: Packaging made of Plastic or Metal and Drink boxes are used to make new packaging.

    Warning: Plastic pots(e. g yoghurt pots ), plastic bags must not be included with the PMD waste.

    Harmful waste: out-of-date drugs, used batteries(电池)， paint and oil…

    Besides, if you don't need your old bikes at all, our school volunteers will collect them. We're going to fix them up and then give them away to kids who don't have enough money for a bike.

    To find out more about recycling, you can visit our school website.

    Mark, a young person, tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter(打字机)."You've got to want to write,"I say to them," not want to be a writer."

    The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded(报答). When I left a 20-year job in the US Coast Guard to become a writer, I had no hopes at all.

    What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.

    After a year or so, however, I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt (MWE ) myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wonder in " what if".

    I would keep putting my dream to the test-even though it meant living with uncertainty(不确定) and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

    Wang Ruixu, a CEO born in the 1990s, has got tons of attention since Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang met with him in Zhongnanhai, Beijing. On Feb. 7th, 2015, he returnedhis mother school. Shantou Overseas Middle School, and madespeech about his experience. Wang said," What leads to success is sticking to your dreambeing thankful."

    In his third year at university, Wangup a company and developed a mobile app which offered part-time job information to university students.

    To everyone's surprise, Wang once lostin computer games. Unluckily, his parents' factory closed down at that time. To make things worse, he scored only 280 on the high school entrance examination.he received a hard  slap(耳光)from his mother because of that, he started to realizesad and helpless his mother was! Later he studied hard and got into a key university.

    Wang strongly believes it's important to keep a dream in your mind and to it. Now he isof himself because most of his dreams have come true. During his speech, he expressed histo the teachers who once helped him a lot and he encouraged the students to work harder in the future.

    We often dine out with others, but do you know some basic etiquette (礼节)? If you behave well at the table, it will make your partners happy. But if you don't know how to behave yourself, you will feel embarrassed. Here are some tips for the table etiquette.

    When helping a woman pull her chair to the table, hold it and guide it. Don t shove(碰撞)it against the back of her legs.
     If you're seated at a table with eight or fewer guests, wait for everyone to be served and for the hostess(女主人) to begin eating before you dig in. At a long banquet table, it's OK to start when several people are seated and served.

    If you prefer not to have wine while dining out, don't turn your glass upside down, and don t make a big deal of saying you don't drink. Simply place your fingertips on the rim(边缘) of the glass and say" Not today, thanks."

    When you excuse yourself to go to the restroom, just say" Please excuse me."

    When out with friends or family—even at a fancy restaurant –it's OK to ask for your leftovers(吃剩的饭菜) to be wrapped. But don't do it at a business lunch or dinner.
