Good morning，boys and girls．Today I'll talk about going online．

We know that there are too many net bars around us．The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable．Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer and can get more information from the Internet．We can learn English．We can read some good newspapers and magazines．It can make us clever in playing computer games．We can send e-mails to our friends quickly．We can chat freely online with our friends．It can help us to get in touch with people from all over the world．

But every coin has two sides．Net bars also bring us a lot of trouble．For example，some students spend too much time in playing compute games and some stay in the net bars all day and all night．Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online．They write too many letters to each other．It takes them too much time to chat online，so they do worse and worse in their lessons and they don't study well any more．I think we mustn't get online when it is time for us to study．We can do it in summer or winter holidays or at the weekend．

At the same time，if we have lots of free time，we can do some out-of-class activities at school．We usually have activities from 4：50 to 5：50 in the afternoon．We can play basketball or football on Monday or Thursday afternoon．We can join some interests groups in school，such as drawing or reading on Tuesday afternoon，or singing and dancing on Wednesday afternoon．we can go to the English Corner on Friday afternoon．We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities．

The American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a best seller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. It is just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our life, like a new school or new friends, don’t be afraid. Use this change to make a better life.
The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students. Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two“little people”and some cheese.
The four are in a maze(迷宫)looking for  The cheese. Here, cheese means some thing important in life. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing:to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or feeling good about yourself.

　 For the first time, Zhang Shengyu, a student from Laiyang Middle School in Shandong, didn’t ask her mother to buy her a new schoolbag or any new pens for the beginning of the school term. “My old schoolbag can still be used, so there is no need to buy a new one,” Zhang said, “I’ve decided to be thrifty from now on.”

　 As the center of the family’s attention, many of the one-child generation (一代人) do not know about the hardships of life. They sometimes have no idea of the value of things. Many students would throw away pens and erasers that haven’t been used up and buy new ones. Some like to compete with each other to see whose clothes and school things are more expensive.
