Did you go to the forest before? The forest plays important role on the earth. Trees make up the forest and produce oxygen (氧气). As we all know, we can't live oxygen.

But a lot of people don't know the importance forest. They cut down as many trees as they can. If we don't stop, the wild animals will lose their homes the climate will become terrible.

It's time for us to do something to save forests for our beautiful life. We should stop cutting down too many trees. At the same time, we should plant trees and create a beautiful forest home. Only in this way can we live a comfortable life in the future.

When to Travel?

One day, when Boya played the guqin by a river, a farmer passed by. He was Zhong Ziqi. Ziqi stopped and listened to the music carefully. "What wonderful music!" he said.

Boya looked at the farmer and said, "Do you know what the music is about?"

"Your music paints a story," Ziqi said, "When you played high notes, I saw eagles flying in the sky. When the notes turned low, I saw a strong river rushing."

It surprised Boya. For years, he looked for a zhiyin but failed. Here, he finally found someone who could understand his music. The two became close friends, sharing their love for nature and music.

A sad thing happened. Zhong Ziqi got sick and died. Boya thought that without Ziqi, no one else in the world could truly understand his music. So, he broke his guqin and never played it again.

This touching story of their friendship and the power of true understanding is told from generation (世代) to generation in China.

Ants live together in big groups. Each group has a queen (蚁后), worker ants and guard ants (守卫蚁). The queen lays eggs. Worker ants find food and feed baby ants. Guard ants protect the group.

Ants are very strong. They can lift things 50 times as heavy as their own weight. Just like that a child lifts a car. How strong ants are! They work together to build theircaves, and protect their family members.

Ants help nature, too. They also help to break down (分解) dead plants and animals. These make the soil (土壤) soft and help trees, grass and other plants in nature grow well.

Ants are also famous for their clever use of natural tools. For example, they drop pieces of leaves into water like boats. Then the ants carry them back to their homes.

Ants are fascinating insects because they play an important role in our world, but some of them are in danger. So we should try our best to protect them.

Your room is your own special space. It's more than just a place for you to study and sleep. So make it fun and enjoyable to live in. But how?

Firstly, choose a right colour. A right colour of your bedroom is the first decision when decorating the space. You might be surprised when you try out the light colours. They can bring you peace.

A tidy room helps you feel calm (镇静的). Don't make your bedroom full of furniture (家具). The less furniture you have, the better your room will be.

Last but not least, good bedding (寝具) can bring you different sleep feelings. For example, good pillows (枕头) will relax you after a long-day work or study.

In a word, the rule of decorating your bedroom is to keep it comfortable.

A. Secondly, create space to breathe.

B. Here are some ideas to help you.

C. You can have more space for yourself.

D. Something soft is always the first choice.

E. The rule is not to use bright colours in it.

F. Money is very important for you to decorate the room.

Are you an "E" person or an "I" person? Do you know what I'm talking about? An "I" person is usually shy, while an "E" person is usually more outgoing. These come from the MBTI test—a personality test.

Many people are very interested in the test now. They find it useful. All of the results have four letters (字母), and there are 16 results in all. It can help people have a better understanding of their personality. A greater self-understanding can be useful in daily life, such as choosing a job or getting along with others.

However, there are also some problems. Some people take it for a second time and get different results. Some people find it difficult to answer some questions. For example, I like staying at home by myself. But I also enjoy going around with my friends. Am I an "I" or an "E"?

"Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white," scientists say. You may be an "I" now but will become an "E" when you get older. Or, you can be both an "I" and an "E". Don't be too serious. You can be anyone you want to be!

The smell of these dishes always me home.

Home is always warmth.
