As the saying go, treat others as you would like to be treated. If we want to be treated well, and we should treat others well too.

Two years before, I was admitted to a high school. I felt proudly and superior. Therefore, I always looked down upon my classmates who turned for me in their studies. One day, Tom asked me help him work out a math problem. I glanced at it, and said, “So easy, what foolish you are!” On hear it, he said angrily, “I won’t ask you again.” I was shocking. Only then did I realize why I was so unpopular with my classmate. From then on, I tried to treat them equally and helped them with all my heart.

I’ve been Britain for two years. My friends in China sometime write to me, asked me how long I’ll stay here, and when I’m thinking of returning home. The answer to their question is simple: I do not know how to return home. At the moment, I have no reason to return back to China. I like living in Britain: I enjoy meeting British people and travel around the country. I am expected to have more chances to eat the British food. My study is very interesting, and there are so many things I didn’t know about Britain that I hope to discover it in the future.

Dear Editor,

Now many students have iPods and regard them as their most favorites. Use an iPod, we can listen to music, download a lot of learning materials and read it on the screen. Apparently, it is great help to our study, especial to our English listening.

Some students, however, bring their iPods to classroom and listen to music, which makes the teacher and other students greatly annoying. What’s bad, some of them even waste precious time in class play video games.

In my opinion, the classroom is a place that students should concentrate in study. Furthermore, some rules should be made to guide the students to use iPods properly.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
