    At the age of 12, most of the kids like to watch TV or1online games. But the 12-year-old Jaysea is2teaching yoga. She finished 200 hours teacher training and is the youngest yoga3now.

    She teaches kids and teenagers yoga. “I want to do this for a long time4I love so much,” says Jaysea, the girl5long blonde hair and long legs. She seems quieter 6more serious than most other kids.

    She7a twin brother and a 15-year-old brother. Their parents, Rick and Julie said,

    "They only go to school three days a8. We tell them to think about9they want to do and they have10days to do it. And when they finish high school, they will get their favorite11."

    Her father says she still12her best at school. "She finishes all her homework and she 13 wants to miss a class."

    Most American school students have a long summer vacation. It's usually from June to September. During this vacation, students often travel(旅行) or have summer jobs. Some students take lessons in some schools.

    Kim: I found a part-time job on summer vacation. I helped a little girl with her English. I know how difficult our teachers are, so I thank my teachers very much.

    Nancy: On summer vacation, I wrote some articles(文章) for some newspapers and magazines. I made money, and I joined a music club. I learned to play the guitar.

    Cherry: It was very hot in summer. I went to a beautiful beach with my friends. We had great fun playing in the wave and swimming.

    There is an old English saying, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy (富有) and wise(聪明) ". It tells us that we must go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. Then we will be healthy. We will also be rich and clever. This is true. The body must have enough sleep to be healthy. Children of young age should have ten hours' sleep every night.

    Children who do not have enough sleep can't do their work well and they may not be wise or healthy. The body also needs exercise. Walking, running, jumping and playing games are all exercise. Exercise keeps the body strong. Exercise also helps the blood(血液) to move around inside the body. It is very important. Our blood moves to all parts of our body. The head also needs blood. Exercise helps us to think better.

    Jerry worked in an office in the city. He worked very hard and really looked forward to(期待) his vacation. He usually went to the seaside, but one day he saw an ad(广告) in a newspaper.

    "Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at William Farm. Good food, fresh air, horse riding, walking, fishing…"

    "This sounds like a good idea," he thought. "I'll spend a month at William Farm. I'll go horse riding, walking and fishing. It'll be different from the seaside." Four days later, he returned home.

    "What's wrong with William Farm?" his friend Jack asked him. "Don't you enjoy your country life?"

    "Country life was fine," Jerry said. "But there was another problem."

    "Oh, what problem?" Jack was very surprised.

    "Well, the first day I was there, a sheep died, and we had roast(烤) mutton for dinner."

    "Fresh meat is the best."

    "I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner."

    "Lucky you!"

    "You don't understand," Jerry said, "On the third day a pig died, and we had roast pork for dinner."

    "Wow, a different roast every day!" said Jack.

    "Let me finish." Jerry said, "On the fourth day a farmer died and I didn't want to stay there for dinner."

    We went to HK last month. It was a(精彩的) trip, so(每人) had great fun.

We went there by train. On the train, I read some(杂志) about HK and I learned a lot about the city. In HK, we visited lots of tall(建筑物) and beautiful parks. I also bought some clothes for(我自己). When we were(饥饿的), we went to try the delicious food.

    I ate at(最少) four hamburgers. I was really(满的). However, my mother told me that eating junk food(这样的) as hamburgers was bad for my health.(或许) next time I should eat less.

    A lot of people wish to be slim(苗条), but at the same time they are(worry) about their health. In fact, it is important for everyone(lose) weight healthily. But how can you do it? Here is some good.

    Drink plenty of water and eat a(n)(health) diet. If you feel like eating snacks, drink a glass of water first. If you are still hungry after 15 minutes, then it is time a light snack. (try) to stay away from food with high calories(卡路里) , such as sweets and fast food.

    Do not eat more than you can consume(消耗) . People get fat they can not consume all the calories that they get. So knowing how many calories you really need very important.

Take enough exercise. The "333" is good for you—-exercise 3 times a week. For at least 30 minutes attime, and pulse rate(脉搏率) should be more than 130m after exercising.

    Keep the three(piece) of advice in mind and follow the advice. Then you will surely have a slim and strong body.

Karen: It was great. I had a vacation with my friends in Hainan last winter. There were beautiful beaches and blue sea water. It was sunny and warm. We stayed there for a week. We went swimming every day. We played beach volleyball together. We ate seafood, too. We felt very relaxed.

Teacher: How about you, Brad?

Brad: I went to Beijing with my parents on vacation. The weather was fine and the trip was happy. We spent five days in Beijing. We visited Tian'anmen Square and the Palace Museum. We also went shopping. The shops were crowded. We ate in some Chinese restaurants, too. The food was cheap and delicious. The Chinese people were very friendly. We had great fun in Beijing.
