Dear Boarding Students,

    At this time of the school year, we can feel some students begin to experience excitement as the summer vacation comes. But some others still don't want to start packing. I once again ask for your attention as we will have summer camps for the new students. There is much work to be done in packing and cleaning-up, especially during the exam week.

            Each student will get a task list and each task has a deadline( 期限). The dorm (寝室) teachers will work with each student each night to make sure you are getting the tasks done on time. It would be helpful if your parents encourage you to do a little packing and cleaning from now on. It means you can take the posters off the wall, pack up winter clothes, return all borrowed books to the library, etc. Spending twenty minutes a day on your tasks will make the last week of the term very easy, and you can spend more time on the important preparation for exams. If you plan to travel home, I'd like to remind you to take some of your belongings with you.

    The coming weekend is a" closed weekend". During that time no one is allowed to leave school. After packing we need to prepare the dorms for moving out, and store(储藏) students' large belongings.

    The last exam is on Thursday and all students leave after their exam. The dorm will remain open until 5 p. m. on Friday for those students that could not get a ride or flight. Please let us know if you need transportation to the airport.

    Thank you again for all your attention during the last, busy month of school. As always, you are welcome to call or e-mail me with any questions.

    Joesph is a teacher in New York. He gives lessons to (he) students about American history. But he was born Kenya, an African country where the children lead a very different life. For example, a ten-year old boy may spend (much) time in taking care of cows than studying at school. The children also learn many (skill) like how to live in the wild.

    Unlike many other children, Joesph went to school. And (lucky), when he was 15, he came (study) in America and then became a teacher. Joesph has written book called Facing the Lion. In the book, he talks about his childhood. He thinks is very important for American children to learn about the cultural differences between their country the others. He also thinks children should learn to be strong and full of hope, Now Joesph (do) a proiect, hoping that it will help children face their own "lions".

My time in junior high school

    Sitting at a desk in a classroom all day can be pretty boring. With a bike, the reading class can be （interesting） than before.

    The teachers in school in the US have tried this. The Read and Ride program （begin） five years ago. As part of the Read and Ride program, the teachers change the students'（desk） into exercise bikes. With this program, one classroom in the school has enough bikes for each student in class.is possible for the students to ride bikes and read books at the same time. Even common classrooms have one bike at the back of them. The students who cannot sit still can use the bike （do） exercise.

    The exercise bikes are not only good for the students' health helpful in improving the efficiency（效率） of the students' study.students are bored with study, they can relax themselves by riding the bikes for a while.

    After keeping trying the program for one year, teachers found that students who took part the program did much better in reading tests.amazing it is!
