Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways(improve) our English writing ability.(compare) with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes less time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist (坚持) in this practice, gradually we'll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many(difficult). Firstly, it often happens that we have trouble(find) appropriate(合适的、恰当的） words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is(extreme) hard for us to put them into English(proper).
As far as I am concerned, my suggestion iswe should always have a notebook and a Chinese­English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also ask our English teacherhelp, if necessary. In short, I believe that it isgreat use to keep a diary in English for the(develop) of our writing skills.

The moon had gone behind a cloud and there weren't many stars in the sky. As I took a glance(一瞥) at my neighbour's house, I saw a flame(火焰)in his 1 . I thought he was having a midnight fast food so l went back to my bed.

Soon, there was a 2 smell in the air and I guessed something was wrong. At once, I jumped out of bed and went downstairs to 3 . I saw fire coming out of my neighbour's kitchen. Right away, I shouted, "Fire! Fire!" But there was no one nearby to 4 my shouts for help.

I 5  into my house, called the Fire Department and went back to my neighbour's house. I rang the doorbell, hit on the door and 6  my neighbour's name but there was no answer. I managed to 7  the house and rescued a cat and a rabbit.

I tried to throw water through the kitchen window 8  it was no use; the fire was too strong. 9 ,a fire engine arrived and soon the firemen put out the fire. They arrived just in time as the fire was going to 10  to the other rooms in the house.

When my neighbour came back, he was 11  because his kitchen was burnt down, but he thanked me for calling the Fire Department and for saving his 12 . He wanted to give me some money 13  but I did not accept it.

Weeks later, my neighbour repaired and restored his kitchen. He 14  me to see his new kitchen and there he gave me a medal that he had 15  ordered from a factory. It made me very happy.

Ways to Improve Your Health

Sometimes it may seem difficult to improve our health.

● Eat breakfast every morning.

Research shows that eating a meal in the morning results in less body fat and less chance of overeating. Eating breakfast can help people feel better both physically and mentally through the day.

● Get enough sleep.

Poor sleep can influence our memory and learning. Studies show that people who don't get enough sleep seem to get into more accidents. So stay safe and get enough sleep!

●

Walking is an easy way to add exercise to our lives. Instead of meeting friends for a meal, meet them for a walk. As you walk, you will see the beautiful world around you. Once you try, you will find that adding a walk into your daily life is very easy.

● Make social connections (联系).

 They might include sport teams, art or music groups. The people in the group can offer advice and can help each other in difficult times. Also, being in a group keeps your mind busy. An active mind is a healthy mind!

● Have a hobby.

A hobby could be running, reading or making something with your hands. Hobbies help people to relax and rest.  Everyone could get a little more joy in their lives!

A．Get much exercise.

B．Take a walk every day.

C．They also bring pleasure to people.

D．Social groups can provide support.

E．It can also cause traffic accidents!

F．The following health habits may help you.

G．It is very important for them to have a good day.

There are many ways to travel within a city. We can walk, cycle or take a bus. But no matter which way we travel, we have to follow the route the city planners made for us.

Parkour (跑酷) practitioners, however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no fixed routes. There are no walls and no stairs — since they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground.

The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is attracting more and more people to it — there are 100,000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to The Guardian — and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination (协调) and balance. So, the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the 2024 Olympics.

However, parkour practitioners themselves don't seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as "a lifestyle", wrote the website Next Sport Star. "It's a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport."

Indeed, many do parkour just to "escape the daily routine and experience the city in different ways", wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.

It's great that the FIG wants to develop a new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.

When I was in middle school, I was on a family vacation in Washington DC. I found there was a homeless man down the street.

On our final day in the city, when my parents went for an evening walk, I went out of our hotel room and ran down the street to the homeless man.

He looked at me, surely not expecting anything from a middle school girl. I asked him what he wanted to have for dinner. He replied "Bread and water". I ran into the store and bought a big bag of bread and a bottle of water. I ran back with a smile on my face and handed the bag and the bottle to him. His smile has been in my mind ever since.

I came back to the hotel room and when my parents returned, my dad told me he had a story for me. He asked if I remembered the homeless man down the street from our hotel and I shyly nodded. He then told me a story. As they were returning from their walk, they saw the homeless man was sharing a bag full of food with other homeless people around. They were all smiling and laughing as they ate.

I smiled at my dad but I have never told him to this day the other half of the story. Till today, I still haven't forgotten that man's smile but I wish I had the courage to do this more often. One small kind action can begin a ripple effect(连锁反应)of kindness. So please，share a smile and do something kind for the people in need.

A bridge is a structure constructed to connect two places without blocking the way beneath it. Below are four famous bridges in the world. 

Bridge of Sighs

The Bridge of Sighs is in Venice, Italy, which was designed by Antonio Contino. The bridge's construction was begun in 1600 and completed in 1603. The bridge was supposed to be the last view for prisoners, who would sigh at the beauty of Venice, before being taken to prison. That is why it is called the Bridge of Sighs.

Tsing Ma Bridge

The bridge is named after the two islands it connects-Ma Wan and Tsing Yi in Hong Kong. It has both a roadway and a railway and is the longest suspension bridge (悬索桥) with two decks. The bridge is 4518 feet long and 676 feet tall, which was designed by Mott MacDonald. The construction was begun in 1992 and completed in 1997. 

Tower Bridge

The Tower Bridge is situated in London, which is a combination of the drawbridge (开合桥) and suspension bridge. Designed by Horace Jones and John Wolfe Barry, it was built between 1886 and 1894. The bridge stretches across the River Thames near the Tower of London. The drawbridge is drawn about 1,000 times a year. 

Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge joins the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, whose chief designer was Jbseph Strauss. The bridge has been named the most beautiful and most photographed bridge in the world. It is 8,981 feet long, 746 feet tall and 90 feet wide. Construction of the bridge was begun in 1933 and completed in 1937. In 1987, the bridge was named a California historic landmark.

In high school, I was an editor of the school newspaper at the student union. And I won two national awards. I've been so focused on my dream of being a magazine editor that I've never wasted my time being fake-friendly to people—I was too busy for that. I almost didn't socialize much in school, which meant I almost didn't have any real friends in school. Unexpectedly, that annoyed a lot of people out of my expectation, so they began to talk aboutme behind my back. The gossip (流言蜚语) never bothered me since I was so into my goals and had no time to care much. But then I appeared on TV, and things changed.

When the show first broadcast last May, I received dozens of mean posts about me on the media sites, calling me "crazy", and even some dirty words were used. Worse still, some strangers shot their fingers at me. How could they say such terrible words to me when they'd never met me? I still tried to focus on my work and told myself not to care about this, but that didn't stop their comments from streaming in. Every day, mess messages continued to come in and it seemed no sign of end.

When I walked into class on a Monday morning, some girls actually pointed and whispered that I broke down the TV program. I wish I could have faced all negative things calmly or even ignore the gossip, but I couldn't. Each time I went out of or into the classroom, there would be people I knew or total strangers, staring at me or whispering, only adding to my sense of shame, and I just wasn't able to shake any of it off. All the negative attention started to overwhelm me physically and mentally.

Soon after, all the negative words started to destroy me.

I saw a quote in the journal. "Once you choose your way of life, be brave to stick it out and never return."

Why do Chinese people drink hot water? Many westerners find it so interesting that they always see Chinese people carry a vacuum cup(保温杯) no matter which season it is.

For lots of Chinese people, nothing is (common) than drinking hot water every day. But for most of the Westerners,  idea of drinking plain hot water is really odd since they drink cold water even in winter. Why do Chinese people drink hot water? Hot water vs cold water, which one is better? Follow us (find) an ideal answer.

It is well known Chinese people prefer hot meals every day, and they're also used to (have) hot drinks with it. Moreover, some parents always teach (they) children to drink hot water with meals, because they think mixing cold liquids with hot meals (be) really bad for the stomach.

According to the eating habits in western countries, they prefer "raw" food, they also prefer their water "raw". At the same time, they are fond hamburgers, cheese and fried stuff, which are all with high calorie. As a matter of fact, they need cold drinks to cool them off.

In 2001, Tropical Storm Allison hit Houston. As a result, more than 70,000 houses were 1 , including the home of Sarah Feldman and her family.

At the time, they were in Connecticut on vacation, so they didn't know what kind of 2 they were going to face when they got home to Texas. But then Feldman's grandparents called with 3 news: all of her books had been destroyed in the flooding. Feldman was 14 at the time and loved 4 .

To cheer her up, Feldman's father 5 her to the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. When they arrived, she met Bill Carver, an elderly 6 .

"I asked him a bunch of questions like, ‘How do you 7 all these rare books in the library? What's the oldest book you have?'" Feldman remembers.

Carver 8 answered all of Feldman's questions. When she told him about her books being 9 , he told her that he would send her a book in the mail, so she could 10 her collection. After returning to Houston, she 11 his gift, titled "The Medieval(中世纪的) Book" by Barbara A. Shailor.

Feldman is in her 30s now. But Carver's 12 has made a lifelong impact. Feldman has tried to 13 Carver, with no success. "I actually sent the library a 14 during the pandemic(大流行病), but I never heard back," she said. "I'm not sure if he's 15 still, but I just would love to tell Bill Carver that he changed my life."
