All these can lay a solid foundation for my future career.

protection club named Better Planet. Once, we collected the
recyclable rubbish in the downtown, such as plastics, cans, bottles and
so on. Then we sent them to the recycle center. I think this kind of
activity can not only clean the city, but also strengthen citizen's
awareness of environmental protection.
(人: can not only help the… to ..., but also give myself a sense of
accomplishment. I feel myself important.)

to challenge myself. Therefore, I spent a lot of time preparing for it,
like searching for information, writing my speech, improving my
body language and so on. No kidding, I even practiced in the
washroom (laugh secretly)! In the end, I won the first prize in this
competition. Since then, I became more and more confident!
Amazing experience, right?

Like last time, I screwed up a very important test, I was
soooo sad. Then I called my mom and she encouraged me

sure you can do it next time.” After the conversation, I felt

10、健康饮食
healthy diet
A nutritious, well-balanced diet is the foundation of good health.

minerals, and other nutrients and low in unnecessary fats and
sugars.
fruits/vegetables(green beans, broccoli, cabbage)/grains/ yogurt
junk food/ additive/ illegal cooking oil
healthy/hygienic/clean

Having healthy diet plays a very important role in our
lives, because a healthy body is the foundation of
everything. However, a lot of people pay less attention to
their diet, and they eat some junk food, such as French fries,
hamburger, fried chicken, and so on. I think people should
eat more home-made food, and eat more fruits and
vegetables. After all, health is the most important thing in
our life.

museums to watch some art exhibitions.I learned a lot of
background knowledge and skills about painting pictures,

16 兼职

accumulate some practical working experience. Last year, I
had an internship in a local company. It was a great

organization, customer service and so on. All these can lay a

I think it's very important to protect the endangered species, because if
a species goes extinct, it's lost forever. Last summer vacation, I went to
a wild zoo in Sichuan. I saw a lot of lovely pandas there. Panda is a
kind of endangered species, and the government should do something
to protect it, such as building protected lands, planting more trees,
improving breeding techniques and so on. In this way, it can provide a
favorable environment for pandas to live. I really hope that my grand
children or grand grand children can still see the real, cute pandas.

where: I was studying in the school library, coz the final
exam was coming.
who: You know what, a guy who sat next to me was talking
loudly on the phone.

participation can add interest and engage students.

different perspectives, solve the problems together efficiently. In the
