My dad really likes gardening, so he built a 1in our yard. He plants a lot of 2 and this year we have onions, beans, cabbages, tomatoes, potatoes and carrots. Now, we are starting to grow fruits3 grapes, strawberries and pears.
Growing plants isn't that easy. First, we have to 4 seeds(种子), which we buy at a store called “Garden Nursery”. Next, we turn the soil(土壤) over, and then 5the seeds. We then wait until the seeds come out from the soil and grow into little leaves. My father and I water them every day. We have to do this 6 vegetables are just like us—they need water, air and food, so they can grow better and more 7.
Autumn is the season to 8. The garden gives us a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits to eat. We may 9 get some vegetables that we cannot get at the supermarket.
With time and hard work, I have learned to take care of the plants in our garden. It is really a great 10.
Winnie the Pooh is about 100 years old. It is my favourite, and I'm sure it's also yours. Do you know how it came to our life?
Winnipeg is a place in Canada. Many years ago, Harry, a soldier, went to Europe from here. When he stopped at train station, he saw a man selling a little black bear. Harry bought it and named it Winnipeg. The name became Winnie in short later.
Harry went to a lot of places. When he got to London, he left Winnie in the London Zoo. He thought they could look after Winnie.
Near the zoo, there was a boy named Robin. He loved to visit the London Zoo with his dad. Winnie was his favourite animal. Robin's father was a writer. He wrote the bear in one of his poems for the first time. Later he wrote stories about Winnie and Robin. Slowly, the father wrote more characters(角色) like Piglet, Rabbit, Roo and Tigger and so on in his stories.
We got up at six in the morning on that summer day, because Grandpa was to take me to the park. With Mum, Aunt and three cousins, it took two taxis to get us all to the park.
Everyone was prepared to get on the big bus and see the wild animals in the park. As the bus moved, I saw many animals. There were tigers, lions, bears, monkeys, pandas and elephants. Some were lying down; some were standing there; some others were walking. And none of them were afraid of people.
After seeing the wild animals, we had lunch at the wild animal restaurant. We then watched goat fighting and horse fighting shows. The park had many other shows besides the fighting shows. For example, there was a sea lion show. We watched mountain goats walking on a steel wire(钢丝), monkeys riding bikes, and tigers jumping through hoops of fire(火圈).
The most unforgettable thing at the zoo was that I got in a tiger cage and took a picture with a tiger. I was very scared at that time, but when I saw a lot of people taking pictures, I was not so afraid. Grandpa said I had more expressions than the tiger.
This visit to the Shanghai Wild Animal Park is an unforgettable one, but it came to an end when we had to go home at five o'clock.
For some students, getting better grades can seem like an impossible task sometimes. With the challenges(挑战) of school, just paying attention in class or studying hard isn't always enough. But what if there were other ways for students to improve their grades? For parents and students who have ever wondered if this is possible, now you can rest easy. Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades.
Scientists think that those students who are active are not just exercising their bodies, but also exercising their brains(大脑). In turn, they can be able to improve their grades at school.
In the most recent study, researchers found that when children played for half an hour each day, they were better at organizing(组织) their schoolwork as well as doing project work and learning traditionally “difficult” subjects, such as maths.
What does this mean for children who aren't active? Researchers think that if kids don't get enough activities, they are going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to school performance.
In the research experiment, a group of children skipped with ropes(跳绳), played basketball and did a number of other games or exercises. Another group of children didn't do any activities. They took part in testing both before experiment and after the experiment. Testing was mainly for maths and reading skills. Results showed that the children in the activity group did better on the tests than those who had no activity.
All work and no play will not only make Jack a dull(迟钝的) boy, but will also negatively(消极地) affect his grades in school, according to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics.
Parents complain(抱怨) children today are actually less active and they always worry about their grades. Dr. Belton, an expert, said, “If you'd like to see your kids do better in school, have them close their books, set down their pencils and go outside to play.”

Ever since Greg was a little boy, he had watched his grandfather carve(雕刻) small wooden figures(木偶). In a short time, his grandfather could change a piece of wood into a wonderful work of art. Greg often wished that he could create wonderful little wooden figures as his grandfather did.
One day, Greg's grandfather called the boy into his room. “Today is the day that you begin to learn the lost art of carving.” Greg couldn't believe his ears. He sat beside his grandfather. The smell of the wood filled his nose, and he loved that. Grandfather told him the names of the different tools he used to create the figures.
After the introduction to the tools was over, Greg picked up a piece of wood and started to carve. He worked for hours that day, trying to learn his grandfather's skill. Although his small wooden figure was far from perfect, both Greg and his grandfather were quite proud of the work Greg had done. “I will put it on my desk,” Greg's grandfather told him. Greg's eyes shone with joy. He knew that it would take him many years to become as skillful as his grandfather, but Greg was going to enjoy every minute of it!
