   Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose HighSchool in Terre Haute, India. Last year, he taught his students about the world'srain forests. They learned that rain forests are important because the plantsand animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and so on.

   Destruction of the world's rain forestsis a serious problem. Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80acres per minute! As part of a class project, Myers' students bought threeacres(英亩)of rain forest in CentralAmerica. They paid $25 per acre. The students hope that the land they boughtwill be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rainforests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.

   So last June, Myers and four of his studentstook a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles. In themiddle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest. "Themonkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branchesoff the trees and threw them at us," one of the students said, "Itwas a great learning experience for all of us," said Myers.

   Each student chose something specific aboutCosta Rica to studyinvolving(涉及)the plants, animals, food, and culture. During thelast few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewaterrafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica's active volcano.

   Myers hopes to make the trip every year with adifferent group of kids.

   E-book is short for electronic book. It isusually read on personal computers. Some mobile phones can also be used to reade-books.

   Earlier e-books were written for a specific group of readers and wereabout only a few subjects. With the development of the internet, knowledge andanswers to a lot of questions mainly come from e-books. This is why the e-bookbusiness is increasing quickly.

   E-books have many advantages. First, they save time. We don't need to goto a bookstore to buy books, besides, we can find the topic we want to knowabout on the Internet, and then we can quickly get many e-books on similartopics. Second, e-books save money. Some e-books cost a little money, and thereare millions of e-books on the Internet that we can get for free. Third, moretrees are saved because e-books don't need to be printed on paper. Fourth,e-books make reading more convenient. You can carry a whole library of hundredsof books with you in a small computer or any e-book reader without worryingabout their weight.

    Bute-books have certain disadvantages. They need a personal computer or an e-bookreader and the information can be lost if itsfile format (文件格式) is not supported orchanged in the reader's computer.

   However, e-books provide us with a new way of reading. That is good.

   In February 2020, children couldn't go toschool because ofNovel coronavirus(新型冠状病毒). In order not to delay the children's learning,many schools decided to begin online teaching activities.

   Online teaching can be said to be a moreeffective learning method when the school is not open, which can not only avoidcross-infection(交叉感染), but also provide learning opportunities forchildren. However, there are many students and parents do not like onlineteaching. They think there are more disadvantages than advantages. Do you knowthe reasons?

   There are many advantages about onlineteaching. The biggest one is that it can be practiced over and over again, andthe operation is very simple, just need to record the video of the teacher'sclass. Another advantage of online teaching is itsnovelty(新奇).Children like novelty,and the long-term step-by-step way of attending classes in the classroom makessome students tired of learning. However, in the short term, online teachingcanstimulate(激发)children's interest inlearning, and even help develop their independent learning ability.

   There are also many disadvantages. First, thebiggest one isthe lack of interaction(缺乏互动).Although there are a lot of online teachingsoftware, and teachers can see the students through the camera and communicatewith them by voice. But can the teachers and students interact well? Of coursethey can't. Second, online teaching is difficult to know the students' learningsituation well. Third, some students use online classes as an excuse to playmobile phones or games.

   There is also a big disadvantage about onlineteaching: children need to look at a screen for a long time. It must be bad fortheir eyes. According to a netizen, the online teaching schedule in a school isfrom 8 a.m. to 4 p. m, with a 2-hour break at noon. Can a child's eyes standlooking at a screen for so long?

    Confidence(自信)is very important in daily life. It can help you develop a healthy attitude.

    They may have more chances to become successful. But how can we become more confident? Here are some suggestions.

    Speak louder. When you are not confident, it's hard for you to do things well. You speak in such a low voice that people can hardly hear you. Your voice can help you become more confident.

     Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you did well. Did you finish your task? Did you tell a joke that made everyone laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you've done.

    Get rid of fear.  But it's easy to overcome if you understand that failure is a part of life. Don't hide in your head just because you said something stupid once. Try to start again and believe you can do better.

    Pick up a hobby. If you like singing, sing as much as you can. And it will make you happy and confident.

—It's a long way to go. We'd better take a bus iof walking there.
