Classic books never go out of fashion. The Outsiders first came out in 1967. Even though the book is old, it is still worth reading. The book is written by the US writer S. E. Hinton.
The book tells the story of a 14­year­old boy called Ponyboy Curtis. He struggles with(挣扎于)right and wrong in a society where he believes he is an outsider. The story took place in Oklahoma, US, in 1965.
In the book, the children are divided into two groups. One is called the Greasers, which is mostly made up of poor kids. They have longer hair and they smoke at a young age. Curtis is one of them. The other group is called the Socs, which is made up of rich children. They wear expensive clothes and drive high­tech cars. Those two groups do not get along well. The book only shows us two weeks of the boy's life. But unexpected things happen and change the boy's life forever.
I was touched by the friendship among the boys. When any of them has a problem, the others will help. Although they are not well educated, they are kind and brave. For example, when Johnny was hurt and in hospital, his friends visited him almost every day. They brought him food and told him interesting stories. I always dream of having kind and strong friendship like this.
This book shows the beautiful personalities in those ordinary people. I advise that teenagers read this book and I hope they can enjoy it.

D. tell us a story

When it comes to the word “Jiangnan”, people often think of beautiful mountains and rivers. Do you know there is a beautiful place in China called “the last hidden land in Jiangnan”？ It is Songyang county in the southwest of Zhejiang Province.
Songyang county is famous for its natural beauty. It sits among green mountains, tall old trees and clear rivers. Also, it has a history of over 1, 800 years.

Thanks to these changes, the county has become a popular place to visit in Zhejiang Province. Many visitors go there every year, bringing rich income(收入)to local people.
Ye Dabao was born and grew up in Songyang. After graduating(毕业)from university, she gave up her job in the city and came back to her hometown. “I'm just returning to my roots(根) in the countryside. And I am very happy to be part of the development of my hometown, ”she said.

Great changes have taken place in Beijing in the past ten years. When I first came to Beijing, there were old houses everywhere. But now many things can't be seen. For example, there were several rows of tall trees with a long history in front of the Friendship Hotel, but people have cut them down to make the roads wide. What a pity!
I am an English teacher and I like China very much. I changed my job from business to education only because I didn't want to leave China. If it is possible, my wife and I will stay here all our lives.
I come from England and my parents live there. I go there every two years. But every time after staying there for some days, I begin to miss my home in Beijing. I want my children to live with me, instead of letting them leave me after they are at the age of 18 like in the West. I hope when my children grow up, they will stay and work in China too.

On the first day, we went to Tian'anmen Square. It is very big. We couldn't stop taking photos there. Then we saw many wonderful works of art at the Palace Museum. On the second day, we climbed the Great Wall. After that we were very tired but happy. Before we went back, we bought some presents and enjoyed delicious food on Wangfujing Street.
