There is a beautiful place with rich culture in Italy. It is the Amalfi Coast. Amalfi is on the west coast of Italy with high mountains and great beaches, and it takes about 3. 5 hours to drive there from Rome. You'll love it from the minute you arrive there!
There are many things to do. You can swim in the sea. You can also play games on the beach, like catching Frisbees (飞盘) . A boat trip is a good way to spend the day, and you may see ducks and birds sitting on the water. Fishing is also a popular activity. There are many villages on the Amalfi Coast, and you can visit one of them to see what life is like there. If you are friendly enough, you may even get invited into someone's house to enjoy home-cooked Italian food! Italy is famous for its pizza and spaghetti (意大利面). The Amalfi Coast is also famous for fish because it is next to water. Pastries (油酥糕点) are popular, too.
August is an ideal month to go there because the weather is nice. We are sure you'll agree that it's a great place!
A long time ago, people were very different from the way we are now. For example, if you find a really old house somewhere, you'll see that the doors are usually much lower than those today. Why? Because hundreds of years ago, people were shorter.
Will our body be different in the future (未来) ? That's for sure. And the main reason is that we have more and more technology (科技) , and here are some other differences.
Most of us now have much better food than people in the past, so we grow more.
However, our body may not be as strong as now, because we won't do a lot of physical work,
Some people guess that our legs will get shorter and our feet will get smaller, because we use our feet less. At the same time, our fingers will get longer. And our fingers (手指) and our eyes will both get better, because they will have to do more work together with phones and computers.
Joan is in a middle school in the northeast of England. She had to wear the school uniform every day.
When Joan was in the primary school, she could wear trousers as part of the uniform. But when she went to the middle school, she found that girls couldn't wear them anymore. Joan did not like it because she felt cold in winter. Though many girls had the problem, the school did not change its rules about the uniform. Joan said, "If you are in class doing your work, what difference does it make if you are wearing trousers?"
Joan's mother, Claire, a teacher at a university (大学) , also agreed that the rules about the uniform in her daughter's school were not that good. "The women teachers can wear trousers, but the girl students can't," she said. "Trousers are more practical (实用的) in fact. They are warmer in winter and cheaper than skirts. "
Claire tried to talk to Joan's school leaders (领导) about that, and finally they changed the rules. Now Joan and the other girls at the school can wear trousers as they like.
Einstein always played with a group of mischievous (淘气的) kids and didn't study well.
His father was worried about his future and stopped him to do so. But Einstein said others even did worse. "My boy, you can't think like that," his dad said.
"There were two cats playing in the chimney (烟囱). When the two cats climbed out of the chimney, one of the cats had soot (烟灰) on his face, while the other cat's face was clean. Seeing the dirty cat, the clean cat thought its face must be dirty, so it quickly ran to the river and washed its face. The dirty cat saw the clean cat and thought its face was also clean, so it just walked down the street. "
"Einstein, no one can be your 'mirror'. You have to think for yourself. If you just do what everyone else does, you will never learn. "
Hearing this, Einstein decided to pay more attention to his study and less attention to what his friends were doing. This allowed him to be successful.
Dominic is my cousin. He is five years older than me. He is 19 years old now and he lives in Bristol. He is very friendly and smart. He's of medium height and very thin because he's a dancer.
He started dancing when he was 6 years old. He practices almost every day. He dreams to be a professional dancer. Although it's very difficult, he is trying his best to make it. He often dances in shows. It is easy for me to find him from the group of dancers, because he does best of all.
Dominic is very busy because he also studies drawing at university. He wants to draw good pictures. Early this year he went to an art competition in the city. We were happy to know that he won it. Dominic is also trying to learn German (德语) because he wants to go to Germany (德国) next year to take art classes. As you see, my cousin is very excellent. I think I need to learn a lot from him.
