Riding electric scooters on the road is a cool sport! Riders put their bodies forward and the scooter goes faster. And it stops when the riders put their bodies backwards. However, now people can't ride electric scooters on public roads in Shanghai and Beijing anymore. If they get caught, they will have to pay 10 yuan each. Why? They can easily knock into cars or hurt people on the roads. |

The British TV station ITV stopped all its programs for an hour on Aug. 27 this year. A British man turned on his TV to ITV channel that day. There were no programs, but a line on it was saying, "The nation's biggest ever sports day." It wanted to encourage more people to go outside and do sports. On that day, more than 2,000 sports clubs opened their doors to people. Many Olympic players also did sports together with people. |

My family members have a good relationship (关系) because our family has some rules.
Family dinner
My mother makes it a rule that everyone should sit down at the table and have dinner together. I think this is one of the easiest and most important rules to have as a family. Eating meals together could have a sense of being back home. What's more，keeping the habit will add to everyone's enjoyment.
________________
Although it is hard for us to keep this routine at first, it has turned out to be a good habit. After dinner we usually have a playtime, and then 7:00 p. m. is bath time;7:30 p. m. is time to have some milk; at 7:50p. m. my mother reads a story, and then lights go out at 8:00 p. m. This routine makes me wake up early in the morning and helps me be in a good mood at school.
Cleaning up
Cleaning up is a family matter. After dinner we help our parents to clean up the kitchen and clear everything off the table. After this, we are asked to clean up the toys that we were playing with in the daytime. Then we won't step on hard or wooden toys when we get up the next morning.
