In our country, most of the students go to school by school bus. For me, I go to school by school bus every day. It takes me about 30 minutes to get to school, because my home is far from the school. The school bus is not only beautiful but wide and strong. It makes me feel safe when I am in school bus. Mary Smith from America

I think riding is one of the best ways to go to school because my school isn’t very far from my home. It takes me about 15 minutes. I like riding a bike and I think it’s good for my health. But nowadays, the number of the cars is becoming larger and larger and the crowded traffic will certainly bring about the risk of safety. So my parents hope that I can take the school bus to school. Li Ping from Wenzhou

I went to school by bus one month ago, but now I walk to school with my parents or my classmates. It’s because the school bus accident. In the accident, lots of students died.

Hi! Zhang Hua, I have a big problem these days. I spend much time watching TV in the evening after doing my homework. So I often stay up and get up late in the morning. As a result, I usually have no time for breakfast and feel tired all day. My parents don’t allow me to watch TV now and force me to go to bed before 10:30. That makes me unhappy. I don’t think they understand me. Do you have the same problem? What should I do? I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Yours,                           Bob

Hi! Bob,
I’m glad to hear from you.
I hope what I said can help you.
Yours,
Zhang Hua
