The editor of the new Cool Camping Britain guide chooses some of his favorite new finds in England, Wales and Scotland.
Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides
Is this Britain’s most beautiful campsite? From the grassy point looking seaward to the mountains, it’s not hard for campers to see how the island inspired The Lord of the Rings author’s fantasy landscapes. The campsite itself is as wild and wonderful as its setting.
Open April - September, from ￡5 per tent per night.
Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, Suffolk
Deep in the wilds of north Suffolk, this seven-acre campsite has only been open for a few years, with two fields separated by a lake and surrounded by woodland. The position is perfect. It’s a great place to do nothing but get into nature. You can put up your tent in the bottom field or the woodland beyond.
Open Easter - October, from ￡10 per tent per night.
Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, Cornwall
This site, by a lake, is all about simple pleasures. Located in the former mining village, it has a summerhouse(凉亭) with books and games for a rainy day. There are many animals including pigs, hens, goats and ducks on the farm and a pub just a 10- minute stroll away. There’s very little to do here, no bells and no whistles. Campfires are encouraged.
Open Easter - September, from ￡10 per tent per night.
Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Sciily
Its only campsite, Troytown, couldn’t be in a more remote position. Isolation is its greatest advantage — so bring plenty of books to read and don’t expect a phone signal. But at least one of life’s necessities is available. Lyin
g on the hillside overlooking the bay and near the island of the Gugh, it might just win the prize for best beer garden view in England.

Ashley C.Ford, a New York City writer, recently appealed to her 66 000 Twitter followers. “A cool thing you can do today is to try to find out which of your local schools have kids with overdue（过期未付的）lunch accounts and pay them off.”
Children from the poorest families get free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch. But some struggle to pay even reduced prices. Some of the IOUs（借据）come from kids who simply forget their lunch money or parents who can afford to pay but neglect to keep prepaid accounts up to date.
People around the country have been inspired by Ashley C. Ford to donate money to pay off debts owed by parents that can follow kids throughout their school careers.
“It really hit home for me,” said Kristina Arwood, who launched a campaign that raised $20,000 to pay lunch debts in her region. “I grew up on free and reduced-price lunches, but even that 40 cents was hard to get together with four kids. There were times I wouldn't eat because I didn't have money.”
The effort drew some criticism from people who said some of the money is owed by parents who can afford the $2.50 for lunch but let their accounts run into the red. But the response has been mostly positive.
“It's unrealistic to think donations are going to fix this problem for all school districts,” said Diane Pratt-Heavner, spokeswoman for the association.
Ford said her real aim was to inspire a bigger wave of community giving. She said, “It was just one idea; another school might need help with uniforms or tutoring. The point was to do something that helps people in your community.”
1.Kids with overdue lunch accounts may be those ________.
A. who refuse to bring their lunch money to school
B. whose parents are unwilling to pay the accounts in advance
C. whose family fail to pay for their meals even at reduced prices
D. who would have the debts follow them throughout their school years
2.Which of the following statements about the campaign launched by Ashley C.Ford is RIGHT?
A. It could solve the problem of school children failing to pay their meals.
B. It received wide support and criticism from some people as well.
C. It raised enough money to cover the IOUs in all school districts.
D. It also focused on helping kids with their school uniforms.
3.What did Kristina mean by saying "It really hit home for me" in Paragraph 4?
A. She was rather surprised at what the kids experienced.
B. She felt as if she were stricken by the kids' sufferings.
C. She felt touched because of her similar experiences in childhood.
D. Her family were suffering because of her donation to the campaign.
4.What is Ashley C. Ford's real aim to appeal to her Twitter followers to donate to the kids?
A. To ensure that the government get universal free meals for all students.
B. To arouse people's concern about those who need uniforms or tutoring.
C. To raise enough money to pay the lunch debts in all the schools.
D. To encourage more people to take action to help those in need.

Whether you want to improve your writing skills as a creative writer or simply perfect your skills for schoolwork, you can take some steps to learn how to be a better writer.
1. Use active instead of passive voice.
In English, the most basic sentence structure is S-V-O: Subject-Verb-Object. The passive voice usually requires more words and use of a “to be” verb form, which can suck the energy out of your writing. Learn to avoid these constructions as much as you can. 1. It conventionally uses the passive voice to put the emphasis on the results, rather than the researchers.
2. 2.
Finding the right verb or adjective can turn an uninspired sentence into one people will remember and quote for years to come. Look for words that are as specific as possible. Strong doesn't mean obscure, or more complicated. Don't say "utilize" when you could say "use." 3.
3. Cut the chaff.
4. You don't get points for saying in 50 words what could be said in 20, or for using multi-syllable words when a short one does just as well. It might feel good at first to pack a lot of ideas and details into a single sentence, but chances are that sentence is just going to be hard to read. If a phrase doesn't add anything valuable, just cut it. 5. If you notice that your writing is filled with "-ly" words, it might be time to take a deep breath and give your writing more focus.
A. Use strong words.
B. Show, don't tell.
C. Good writing is simple, clear and direct.
D. The main exception to this is science writing.
E. Cutting the chaff is best done at the editing stage.
F. "He sprinted" is not necessarily better than "he ran."
G. Don't write "screamed fearfully" -- "scream" already suggests fear.
