One possible version:

　　 Recently there was a heated discussion among Senior 3 students in our school. The students were questioned whether they were willing to have the evening self-study at school or not. Here is the result according to the survey.

　　 60 percent of the students think it’s a good idea to have the evening self-study at school. They think they can do better in their study with the help of the teachers. Also, they can concentrate on their lessons better in the classroom and with company of their fellow classmates.

　　 There are 25 percent of the students who think they prefer to study at home. They suppose that they may get disturbed by others and there are possible dangers on their way home alone.

　　 At the same time, still 15 percent of the students don’t have a clear answer to the question. They say they will go to school to have evening self-study if they are asked to, but they promise they can also do well at home.

M：Everyone seems to be on a diet nowadays. Have you noticed that?

W：Everyone seems to talk about that, especially girls.

M：A friend of mine is on sweet potato diet. He eats a sweet potato for breakfast, a sweet potato for lunch and another one for supper.

W：That’s bad for his health! Has he lost any weight?

M：Yes, but he didn’t last long. One day he felt sick and was sent to hospital.

　　 Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today is my turn to bring you something new-my Mexican cheese pie. Hope you’ll like it. Now, let’s start. First, butter the bottom of a round baking dish. Then, put flour around the bottom. Let it come up the sides of the dish, too. Next, we need one large tomato, one small can of peppers, and one onion. Cut them into pieces and put them on the flour. After that, beat together 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 cup of milk. Then, one cup of cheese. Mix them together into the dish. Finally, put the dish into the oven .Bake the cheese pie for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. All you can do now is wait! Do remember that you will need to let it cool for half an hour after you take it out of the oven. Please enjoy it!
