    For school students，making a homework plan(计划) is important. It can help you do your homework well.

    First, be sure(确定) to understand1 your teachers want you to do. Write it down in your notebook if you need to，and be sure to ask questions about your2if you really don't understand. It's much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher in or after class than to think3all the night!

    Second，use any free time4to work on your homework. Many schools have study rooms. It's5to play with your friends and classmates after class at school，but the more work you do in school, the less you'll have to do at6.

    Third, pace(调整) yourself. If you don't finish your homework at school，7 how much homework you have and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most school students have between 1 and 1.58of homework a night. If it's not a hard homework day, you can9yourself more, or you'll have to say10to your game shows or films on TV.

Dear Frank,

    In your last letter, you asked me about meals in English homes. Now let me tell you something about it.

    In many English homes, people eat four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.

    People have breakfast at any time from seven to nine in the morning. They eat vegetables, eggs and bread. English people drink tea or coffee at breakfast.

    Lunch comes at one o'clock. Afternoon tea is from four to five in the afternoon, and dinner is at about half past seven. First, they have soup, then they have meat or fish with vegetables. After that, they eat some fruits like bananas, apples or oranges. But not all English people like those fruits. Some of them have their dinner in the middle of the day. Their meals are breakfast, dinner and afternoon tea. All these meals are very simple.

    I hope you can visit England someday.

Yours,

Eric

    When tea and coffee were first introduced to Europe in the 18th century, people had different ideas about their use.Some said that tea and coffee were harmful to humans and they could cause （引起）people to die.

    In Sweden（瑞典）, King Gustaf Ⅲ decided to find out whether or not this was true.It happened that there were two brothers in prison at that time.They were twins and were almost alike in every way.They had both been sentenced to death (判处死刑).The King decided to let them live if one of the men agreed to drink several cups of tea each day and the other several cups of coffee.

    Both brothers lived many years without problems of any kind.At last,the brother who had drunk tea every day died at the age of 83,the other died a few years later.

    Because of the experiment(实验), tea and coffee got accepted (接受) and became popular as drink in Sweden, and it is one of the many countries of the world where much tea and coffee is drunk today.

    There is a new rule (规定) for students. They need to run 1,500 metres each day. How do they like the new rule? Are they ready to run?

    Wang Tao: I'm 12 years old. I'm from Beijing. As Grade 8 students, we usually run 50 metres,200 metres or 400 metres in PE class, but never 1,500 metres. But I think the new rule is a good idea. It can help us keep fit. Running can also make us active (活跃的) in the daytime.

    Liu Tao: I'm 13 years old. I 'm from Dalian. Many students worry about the new rule. We only run 400 metres in PE class. Some students say that they may feel tired and sleepy in class after running. But I am OK with it. I can run 1,000 metres in 3 minutes.

    Shi Ming: I'm 14 years old. I'm from Qingdao. Students in our school run 600 metres in Grade 7 and 800 metres in Grade 8 in PE class. In winter, we run about four laps(圈) each day. That is close to 1,500 metres. I think it's good for us.

—They are very interesting.

—To be(健康), you should do more exercise.

— Oh, I have many, like singing, swimming and playing basketball.

— Wish you a happy time.

    Do you know anything about the way of shopping in Western countries? In the West, people usually make a list before they go shopping. Most people like to go to supermarkets or big shopping malls.

    In the West, most supermarkets or malls open at 8:00 a.m. and close at 6:00 p.m. But some big supermarkets and big malls are open until 11:00 p.m. at night. When people go into a supermarket, first they should get a basket or a cart(手推车) at the entrance(入口处). Then they begin to choose things and put them into the basket or the cart. After they get everything they want, they pay the money. There are always a lot of people in the supermarket at weekends. They must wait for their turn.

    Most people go to the supermarket or the shopping mall once a week. Some people go shopping twice or three times a week.
