    Nowadays, Wechat is becoming more and more1in China. No matter where we are, we can send text or voice messages to our friends. We can also find a stranger to talk to by shaking the 2. Another funny function(作用) is that Wechat can help to search for people 3 live nearby with the app on. Many people like this function, 4 it can help them to find more people who they may know.

    In my opinion, Wechat is really 5 useful chatting tool. It can help people 6 with their friends more easily. 7, it is also bad for people, especially for students. As you see, some people use Wechat 8 too long. It is not healthy. So I have some advice on using it in a correct way. First, we should not use it when we are studying. We can't focus on our study if we use it. Second, we must be careful. We should neither show too much personal information 9 trust(相信)strangers so much

    We should learn how to use it properly(正确地). Remember, Wechat is not everything in your life. 10 depend too much on it.

Do you often feel tired? Do you sometimes feel uncomfortable on your neck and back? It may because of the radiation (辐射) from your computer. If you spend three hours or more in front of a computer, you may feel terrible because of the radiation.

The safe amount of radiation is 25V/m. Do you know how much radiation our computers give off?

Keyboard: 1,000 V/m      Mouse: 450 V/m

Monitor: 218V/m          CPU: 170 V/m

Laptops: 2,500 V/m

Ways to protect yourself from harmful computer radiation:

1 Put some green plants on your desk. They can take in radiation.

2 Drink two to three cups of green tea a day and eat an orange daily. They keep us healthy.

3 Use a screen filter (屏幕过滤器) for your monitor.

4 Avoid having metal (金属的) objects near your desk.

5 Put the back of the computer to the wall. Most of the radiation comes from the back.

6 Keep your monitor at least 50 cm away from your face.

7 Allow fresh air to move around your computer room.

8 Eat healthily — especially fruit and vegetables.

9 Turn off your computer if you have to rest nearby.

The Venice Film Festival is thought to be the oldest film festival in the world. Every year, people from all over the world go to enjoy the great films and see the film stars.

The Venice Film Festival first took place in 1932. Since then, it has been held every year. At the first Venice Film Festival, there were no judges or prizes at all, only a list of good films chosen by the public. At the second festival, prizes started to be given. The prize of the festival is the Golden Lion. The lion is the emblem of the ancient republic of Venice.

This festival becomes more and more important. But from 1943 to 1945, the festival was destroyed because of World War II. In 1946, the festival became active again. Right up until today, the festival has provided a great chance for people around the world. They can learn other countries' culture through films. Many Chinese movie makers are sending their movies to the festival and some of them have won the Golden Lion, like Zhang Yimou.

A habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something that we do almost without thinking. Some of them are bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut (捷径) to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.

First, think about why you do it. That is, what's the result of doing this thing If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet.

Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you'll find that it's not wise to keep your bad habit. Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I'm sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.

    The computer is increasingly popular in people's(day) life. The number of computers in every family is(much) than TV sets. Some people think the computer is so great that they all regard it as a giftthe heaven. However, some people consider it brings more disadvantages than advantages.my opinion, both opinions are correct, but if we can use the computer in a proper way, its advantages are superior to disadvantages. I have several reasons.

    The computer makes human beings' life become(easy). People can do many things that they couldn't do before. They can read newspapers (with) buying them, only sitting in front of the computer, clicking the mouse to open websites. Shopping online, watching films,(listen) music and playing computer games are the common things that people often do on the computer. But without computers, they can't do all these easily. In addition, computersalso very helpful for study and work. People can have classes and work on them.

    In general, the computer has advantages and disadvantages. But if people can control(them) to use the computer properly, it is(use) for their whole life.
