Last week I stayed at home alone for the first time. My parents had a long-time (讨论) about who would go to Beijing to take care of my (生病的) brother. Finally I asked them to go together and I'm sure I can take good care of myself at home. In the station I said goodbye to my parents. When the train went away I couldn't hold back my tears though there were so many (乘客).
The first night wasn't easy. I (醒来) up at midnight. I stayed in the dark and (几乎) cried out again. But soon I calmed down and started to read the book beside my bed. I didn't fall asleep (直到) 2 o'clock.
I got up early the next morning. I went to school after a (简单的) breakfast. I told my friend Lin Li my experience last night. He encouraged me "Don't be afraid of that. We are teenagers. We should learn to look after （我们自己). "From then on I told myself to be brave. I spent happy days at school and after school I (关) the door when I got home and seldom watched TV or played computer games. I finished my homework carefully. On the (第九)day, my parents came back home- They were proud of me.

Global (全球的) warming is becoming a more serious problem and it makes the Earth sick. There are many (原因) of the greenhouse effect(温室效应). But (幸运地), there are many ways to save our beautiful planet and keep it (健康的) and green.
First, we should use energy more wisely. Summer is coming and as (温度) go up, many people turn on air conditioning. However, using too much air conditioning is not good for our (环境). So remember to turn off air conditioning while you are sleeping at night or if you are away (在…期间) the day.
It's also helpful to recycle things. (选择) reusable products to reduce waste. Recycling paper, glass, cans, (塑料), and newspaper is also important for saving energy.
Try to use less hot water. Wash clothes with cool water to save energy.
Trees and flowers help keep the air clean and (新鲜) by giving off oxygen(氧气) which is necessary for us to live. So, why not (种植) more plants?
Traveling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier, but bow well do we know and understand each other? Here is a (简易的) test.

If they are American, they'll probably be fifteen minutes early. If they are British, they'I1 be fifteen minutes (迟).
The British seemed to think since the English language was (广泛地) used in the world, what they did was certain to be understood. Very soon they (发现) they were completely wrong. For (例子), the British are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters with a drink during the meal; the Japanese prefer not to work (在….的时候) eating because lunch is a time for them to (放松) and get to know each other; the Germans like to talk business before dinner; the French like to eat (先) and talk afterwards.
