some common knowledge.

You must pay attention to the diet.We should eat lots of fruit and

vegetables,because they are rich in fiber and Iow in fat.As a proverb says,"An apple a day keeps the doctor away." So fruit is good for health.Dont

have a lot of food that contains too much fat,such as butter.Meanwhile,sweets

should be eaten in proper quantity,because too much sugar does harm to us.Dont

drink too much coffee,either.

Everyone has different hobbies. Hobbies can develop your interest and make

you learn new skills. I have many hobbies, such as playing basketball, playing

football and riding a bike. But my favorite hobby is riding a bike.

I began to ride a bike when I was nine years old. One day, my father bought

a bike and gave me a surprise. I was really happy. When I was free, I always

rode my bike. I went anywhere I wanted. When I was riding fast, I felt very

excited.

I think I am very lucky, because my hobby has brought me pleasure.

The life in the future

What do you think the life in the future will be like?

Every family will have computers and robots. Computers will help us know a

lot all over the world. Robots will help us do most of the housework. They can

help us do some cleaning， cooking or washing. We can do some shopping and see a

doctor without going out. Students can study at home on computers. People will

live to be 200 years old because of the better medical care.

Our life will be better and better. For this， we should study hard. I

believe we’ll be able to do this.

Health is very important for everyone. So people want to have a healthy

life.

In fact everyone can have a healthy life. Such as: I usually eat fruit

vegetables eggs and rice. I hardly eat burgers. I think we could eat meat and

ice-cream amount. Water and milk are good for your health. It’s important to

play basketball run and have enough sleep. We couldn’t spend a long time for

watching TV and playing computer. It’s bad for our eyes.

We should keep happy confident helpful and friendly. I don’t think nervous

and angry are good for our health.

my mother is the person who has influenced me most。She is in her forties。 She always listens to my problems patiently。 And she advises me how to solve them。 As a doctor， she often says she can’t be too careful。 She often works extra hours。 She has devoted most of her time to her work。 So I think she is not only a good mother but also a good doctor。I hope I can be a person like her。 I also hope she will pay more attention to her own health。 She’d better have more time to relax herself。

Some students study English by reading English magazines or newspapers, and

some of them are interested in watching English programs on TV. In my opinion,

every day, we should insist on reading the textbooks and learning words by

heart. Listening to English tapes and keeping diaries are very useful, too.

Singing English songs is also a good way for us to improve our oral

English. Whats more we should often speak English.

No pains, no gains. Im sure well make great progress if we keep on

working hard at it.
