My name is Peter and I am a middle school student. One day last year, I borrowed a magazine from the school library. I saw some beautiful photos in the magazine. They were taken in some places of interest in China. I made up my mind to visit China at that time.
During last summer holiday, I left the USA for China with my parents. We visited some famous places in China, such as the Great Wall, Lijiang(丽江), Jiuzhaigou （九寨沟）and Dali（大理）. My father is a good photographer. Of course he took a lot of photos in China.
My favourite place is Jiuzhaigou. Jiuzhaigou is in the northwest of Sichuan. Its name is from the nine villages in the valley（山谷）. In the photo which was taken by my father in Jiuzhaigou, you can see the mountains are covered with thousands of trees. The trees in the lower part of the mountain are different from the ones in the higher part. So we can see many kinds of trees on the same mountain. The colour of the lakes there is very beautiful. It is green and blue. The water in the lakes is very clean.
It took us four days to visit the main scenic spots (景点) in Jiuzhaigou.
When I came back to school, I showed the photos to my friends. They all liked them very much.

Have you tried to lose weight? Do you fail every time you try losing weight? Why? Let’s listen to the prayer(祷告) of a fat man. You might learn something from it.
Oh, God, thank you for listening to my prayer tonight.
I really feel fat and I must admit that I think I look fat. Please help me to be thin again. I know what you are going to say. I will start the day by doing exercise. This will get me off to a good start to become a healthier person. You should know if I do exercise in the morning I might be late for work. And you know I have to prepare for that big meeting before lunch. I had better not skip breakfast because I will need lots of energy for my speech. After lunch I should meet Harvey for coffee because he has some information I need and I will probably eat a big dinner with him. Maybe I will skip lunch and jog during my whole lunch hour. The problem is that if I go for a run at lunch I will sweat, and there is no place for me to take a shower. So one little cheeseburger won’t hurt me. I promise that I will come home after work. I will do sit-ups, and pushups and eat just a salad for dinner. As you know it is dangerous to go out at night in this neighborhood, so I will go to bed instead of going out for a run.

we can say pandas are lucky because people around the world love them and are trying to help them. However, pandas are also unlucky since they are facing a lot of difficulties now.
Pandas are not good at making babies. Even in the wild, scientists have found that female pandas give birth only every 28 months. That’s why the number of pandas is going up so slowly.
Pandas need bamboo for food. But bamboo plants slower and die every 10 to 100 years. It can take up to 20 years to provide food for pandas When bamboo dies, pandas have to move to other areas. In the past, this was easy. But the population is increasing（增长）, and people have cut more forests and they have built more villages. It’s more difficult for pandas to find bamboo and homes. So WWF has made great efforts to protect pandas. And some Chinese scientists are also trying to find ways to help pandas.
