Dear Li Hua,

Thank you for sharing your problems with me.

Reading popular science books is a great way to learn new knowledge. I  (start) reading science books when I was 10 years old. My favorite book is "The Mystery of the Universe", which is one of  (interesting) books I have ever read. It  (write) by a famous scientist from the UK.

I usually read for 40 minutes every day before going to bed. I keep a notebook to write down   (I) thoughts and questions while reading. Last night, my sister asked me why I liked science books so much. I told her that they help me understand the world better and make me  (curious) about nature.

For example, the book tells us how the solar system  (form) and how life began on Earth. It also teaches us some basic (science) rules and encourages us to ask questions and find answers by ourselves. My sister listened  (careful) and said she wanted to read the book with me.

I believe that  we keep reading and thinking, we will become smarter and more knowledgeable. Books are like lighthouses in our life, and they  (guide) us to explore the unknown world.

Last week, our class went on a field trip to a local farm. It was a wonderful experience for all of us.  (除了) of having classes in the classroom, we learned a lot about farming. The farmer showed us around the farm and told us  (有趣的) stories about growing vegetables and fruits. We also shared the  (经历) of picking strawberries with each other. 

The  (导游) of the farm taught us how to tell the ripe strawberries from the unripe ones. His explanation   (完全地) helped us understand the growth process of strawberries. (既然) we had such a good chance to get close to nature, we took a lot of photos to record the beautiful moments. At that time, I  (发现) that nature is full of magic and beauty. 

We also made friends with some local children who lived near the farm. They were very kind and shared their  (朋友) with us. This trip taught me a  (珍贵的) lesson: we should cherish the food we have and respect the farmers' hard work. The memory of this trip will  (留存) in my heart forever.

Last Monday, my classmate Lin Tao had a big problem. He failed his English test because he 1 a lot of mistakes in listening and reading. He was very sad and didn't want to talk to anyone. I noticed his 2 and decided to help him.

After class, I went to him and asked what was wrong. He told me that he was afraid of English and thought it was too 3 to learn well. I encouraged him and said, "English is not as hard as you think. If you work hard and use the right methods, you can 4 it well." Then I shared my learning methods with him: listen to English songs every day to improve listening skills, and read short English stories to 5 reading ability.

Lin Tao followed my advice. Every day after school, we studied English together for 30 minutes. I helped him 6 the new words and explain the grammar points he didn't understand. He was a hard-working boy and made great 7 in a week. Last Friday, he took a small test and got a good score. He was very 8 and thanked me many times.

This experience made me realize that helping others is a happy thing. It not only makes others feel warm but also makes myself 9 useful. As the saying goes, "Helping others is helping yourself." I 10 to help more classmates who have difficulties in study in the future. Together we can make progress and achieve our dreams.

Lin Tao also said that he would help others when they need help. This small act of kindness 11 our friendship stronger. I believe that if everyone is willing to give a hand to others, our class will become a more12 place to study and live in.

Learning is a long journey. We may meet all kinds of difficulties13 the way, but with the help of each other, we can overcome them 14 . Let's support and encourage each other, and we will all have a bright future 15 .

My Community Environmental Protection Activity

Last Saturday morning, I took part in an environmental protection activity in my community with my classmates. The activity was organized by the community center to clean up the park and raise people's awareness of environmental protection.

When we arrived at the park at 8 o'clock, we were divided into three groups. My group was responsible for picking up the litter in the grass. At first, I thought it was an easy job, but I was wrong. There were lots of plastic bottles, food wrappers and paper bags hidden in the grass. It took us more than an hour to clean up our area. Some of my classmates cleaned the paths, and others put up environmental protection posters on the notice boards.

During the activity, we also talked to some old people in the park. They told us that many people throw litter everywhere without thinking about the environment. We told them about our school's waste sorting policy and encouraged them to sort their waste at home. An old grandpa said he would tell his grandchildren to protect the environment too.

Although I was tired after the activity, I felt very happy. I learned that environmental protection is everyone's responsibility. Small actions like picking up a piece of litter can make a big difference to our living environment. I decided to take part in more such activities and encourage my family and friends to join me. Protecting the environment is not only protecting our earth, but also protecting ourselves.

Smart Learning Assistant Robot

On November 10th, 2025, a Chinese education technology company developed a new smart learning assistant robot called "Study Buddy". It is designed to help middle school students with their daily study.

"Study Buddy" is 80cm tall and weighs 30kg. It has a touch screen on its face and two flexible arms. It can answer students' questions in 10 subjects including Chinese, English, Math, Physics and Chemistry. With the help of AI technology, it can analyze students' weak points and make personalized learning plans for them.

One of the most useful functions of "Study Buddy" is that it can correct English pronunciation in real time. Students can talk with it in English, and it will point out the pronunciation mistakes immediately and teach them the correct way to pronounce words. It can also read English articles aloud with standard pronunciation, helping students improve their listening and speaking skills.

"Study Buddy" can work for 10 hours after 1.5 hours of charging. It has a built-in eye protection reminder—if students use it for more than 45 minutes, it will remind them to rest their eyes for 10 minutes. Now, this robot has been used in some middle schools in Zhejiang Province. Teachers and parents all think it's a good helper for students' study.

In the future, the company will add more functions to "Study Buddy", such as helping students with their homework and communicating with parents about students' study status.

School Green Plant Care Program

In order to create a green and beautiful campus environment, our school launched the "Green Plant Care Program" in November 2025. Each class is responsible for taking care of 10-15 green plants in the classroom and corridor.

Each class needs to set up a "Plant Care Team" with 3-5 students. The team members should water the plants every 2-3 days, clean the leaves regularly, and record the growth status of the plants in a notebook. The school will provide basic care knowledge and tools (such as watering cans, small shovels) for free.

Every month, the school will evaluate the plants' growth status of each class. Classes with well-cared plants will be awarded the "Green Class" title and get small prizes like potted succulents. At the end of the semester, the school will select 10 "Excellent Plant Care Members" and give them environmental protection-themed gifts.

Most students are very interested in this program. Li Ming, a Grade 9 student, said: "Taking care of plants makes us learn to be responsible, and it's great to see the plants grow healthily with our care." The school hopes that this program can make students realize the importance of protecting nature and develop a love for life.

(After school, Coco is talking with her English teacher Ms. Black in the classroom.)

A: Hi, Coco. You look unhappy today.

B: I argued with my parents this morning.

A:

B: Because they think I play too many computer games and don't study enough.

A: I see. Maybe you could make a study plan to show them you're responsible.

B:

A: Of course. It helps them see you're serious about your studies.

B: That's a good idea.

A: You're welcome. I hope things get better soon.

B: I'll talk to them tonight.

At the beginning of my journey of learning Peking Opera, I had great confidence that I could perform it wonderfully. Later, I found that I was wrong. The most difficult part is that an actor has to first understand the feelings of the characters. To prove my ideas, I would like to share one of my experiences. Once, I acted as Lin Chong, a hero of Water Margin (《水浒传》). It was hard for me to understand his feelings when he rushed to Liangshan on a snowy night. I couldn't sing or perform the way Lin Chong did, so I felt very upset.

My teacher seemed to notice my problem. One day, she came up to me and said, "The future is like the sea. There will be a long way to go before you succeed. Wipe (擦) the tears away from your eyes and keep practicing."

After listening to my teacher's touching words, I suddenly felt my confidence came back. I bought a copy of Water Margin and began to read it at once. While reading part of the novel, I knew that Lin was recalling his life before he was on the way to Liangshan at that night. He had to leave his family, his job and so on. After I finished reading the novel, I spent a whole evening thinking about his life story. After that, I spent more time practicing. In the end, I had a better understanding of the characters in this novel.

There are many chances in our life. As long as we catch each of them and take full advantage of them, we will achieve our dreams. It's also our task to pass on our excellent traditional Chinese culture.

In Grade One, they argued during a sports game. In Grade Three, their chess club meetings often ended with "You can't move there," and "Why are you so slow?"

Everything changed in Grade Five when both girls were chosen to play bunny rabbits in the school play. During rehearsals (彩排), Arizona and Summer did their best to stand far from each other. But their director, Mr. Jackson, asked them to cooperate and sing the "Funny Bunny" song as a team.

They agreed and had to communicate during the practice. During the break, they started talking about their old arguments. They imitated (模仿) their childhood arguments in a little kid voice again: "This is my toy." "No, this is MY toy." Soon they laughed loudly because the voice sounded so funny. "What if we use this voice in our song?" Summer suggested. "Excellent! Everyone will be surprised." Arizona agreed.

They practiced hard every day. Summer noticed that Arizona was quite good at singing, and Arizona discovered that Summer was always able to find a way out of difficult situations. Slowly, they started to understand each other instead of arguing. In the school play, their song was a big success. People cheered for them and laughed happily.

When the performance ended, Arizona looked up and met Summer's smiling eyes. For the first time in years, there was no anger or competition in their eyes—only understanding and joy.

Today, movie theatres offer many snacks, but one snack stands out above the rest—popcorn.

Popcorn and movies go together like bread and butter, although popcorn wasn't always the top snack at theatres. In the old days, theatre owners wanted to attract people with better taste, especially those who enjoyed live plays. They thought popcorn was too messy and the crunching sound (嘎吱声) was too loud for their theaters.

Things changed during the Great Depression (大萧条). People needed a break from their worries, and movies were a good way to relax. Street sellers started selling popcorn outside theatres, and it quickly became popular because it was delicious and affordable. Theatres saw this and let them sell popcorn inside too. Before long, the theatre owners learned they could make and sell popcorn and keep the money for themselves!

During World War II, when many foods were scarce (缺乏的), popcorn was still widely available. This made it even more popular, and it solidified (巩固) its place as a must-have for every movie showing.

Nowadays, you can't go to the movies without seeing a line for popcorn. Everyone loves it!

So, the next time you sit down to enjoy a film, remember to get a big bowl of popcorn. It's not just a snack; it is part of the movie magic!

Shadow puppets here are made of hard donkey leather (皮革). The leather is carefully cut into the shapes of characters, animals, or objects from traditional stories. Each puppet is painted in bright colors and put on sticks. Some even have movable arms and legs, making them look lively.

During the performance, Li stands behind a white cloth screen with bright lights behind it. The audience sit in front. Li and his friends hold the puppets close to the screen, so the audience can see the puppets' shadows clearly. They move the puppets around and speak for the roles, telling stories from Chinese history or folk tales.

Nowadays, with so many forms of entertainment like movies and online videos, traditional shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before. But Li Ming and his team keep performing. They even visit local schools to teach students about this art. "We don't earn much, but we feel happy to keep this part of Hebei's culture alive," Li says.
