A Timetable for Children's Palace

    Maybe you are an average (一般的) student. You probably think you will never be a top student (尖子生). However, anyone can become a better student if he or she does his or her best. Here are some tips (技巧) to help you.

    Plan your time carefully. You should plan your time for such things as eating, sleeping and dressing. Then make a good, regular time for studying, but don't forget to set enough time for entertainment (娱乐).

    Keep your study quiet and clean. The study should have a desk, a chair and some study materials (资料), but no games, no radio and no television! When you sit down to study, you can put your heart into it. Make good use of your time.

    Listen to everything that the teacher says. Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

    After you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss next day, read the materials. It will help you study better.

    Develop a good attitude (态度) to tests. The purpose (目的) of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. It helps you know what you are not good at. The world will still go on even if (即使) you fail (不及格) in a test, so don't be too worried.

    China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to solve the population problem, our government carried out one-child policy(政策) before. When it is carried out for some time, many people see not only its advantages but also disadvantages.

    From 2016, two-child policy was put into effect. In my opinion, two-child policy is good. First of all, two-child policy is the gift for some only child. For some families, maybe the parents are only child and they can also have only child. Besides the loneliness of their child, when their child grows up and they grow older, their child marries an only child girl, the burden(负担) on their child and his wife is too heavy. Their child and his wife have to take care of two couples. Usually, looking after an old couple is a little difficult for a young couple. But if their parents have two children, they can share the burden of taking care of their parents. It would be much better. Secondly, two-child policy can guarantee(保证) the number of Chinese population.

    All in all, one-child policy has been out of date. And two-child policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problems of today and the future.

    There is a nature park in the southwest of our city. The government built it (protect) the rare animals. The nature (park) has been the (symbolize) of our city.

    Yesterday my friends and I visited it. The workers there asked us not (feed) animals. Many animals are in (dangerous) because people kill them for their meat and fur. Another reason is that people are taking their land and making their water (undirty). The situation becoming very serious.

    I learnt much yesterday. I think people should (set) up more comfortable houses for the animals and help them live  peace. We should do our best to protect them, because protecting them is protecting ourselves.

    New rules and behaviour standards for middle school students came out in March. Middle schools are going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. They will also be kids who don't dye(染) their hair, smoke or drink. The following are some of the new rules.

    Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else's work on an exam? Don't do it again! That's not something an honest student should do.

    Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is bird-loving month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate it? You should do something to help!

    Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Perhaps you'll discover Earth I someday. Don't look down on new ideas. You should welcome them.

    Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don't let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.

    Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet aren't for kids, so try to look at web pages that are good for you.
