Summary writing
Id never forget what had happened to us before the Martians attacked the earth at the end of the nineteenth century. At that time, man was arrogant when it came to the creatures beyond the earth. Meanwhile, the Martians had to look for a new home because they were faced with a severe energy crisis and the earth was appealing to them. So they made full preparations to invade the earth. Unluckily, man turned a deaf ear to it.

Dear Editor?in?chief of Crazy English,
Im writing to you in hope that you can call on the society to pay attention to the overuse of social media among us students. In my school, a small number of students are heavy social media junkies because they hunger for attention and instant pleasure or satisfaction. They spend too much time on social media like WeChat and Ticktock, which causes great harm indirectly through cyberbullying, sleep loss and reduced physical activity. Also, the negative experience of cyberbullying is a concern. Consequently, its no wonder that so many of them stumble through their lives feeling drained and lost.
Joint efforts must be made to solve this problem. As for the students,they should put their study in the first place and learn to behave responsibly. As for schools and the parents,they should negotiate more and cooperate more. As for the government,they should review regulation of social media to close some of the holes in the legislation and impose severe sanctions on social media companies. Only when each side joins hands,can social media really benefit us instead of harming us.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

“Its my little girls birthday. Shes seven,” He explained. “She said all she wanted this year was a birthday cake, a real one, with her name spelled out nice and pretty on the top. So thats what I went and got her.” He then said that he had been out of work for a month and could get enough money for that. “I had to sell my shoes to buy it for my daughter. Can you believe that?” He looked at his bare feet on the stations dark floor.
While staring at the man, a sense of shame washed over Winston. He was ashamed that he had judged the man, ashamed that he had assumed this stranger was a bad person simply for his lack of footwear, when in fact this man beside him was a more generous person than Winston had ever been. He quickly got up and went away, telling the man not to move and wait for him for a moment. About a quarter later, Winston came back with a pair of new shoes in his hand.

总批评现在的孩子,是什么在作祟?
阅读自测
Its common that older generations belittle and criticize the kids. Actually, their negative opinions about kids are based more on how adults praise their past and current selves than on kids actions. In a study, adults made different assessments of childrens performance based on their own traits. Perhaps, what drives the older generations to belittle the kids is their vanity.

Dear Editor?in?chief of Crazy English,
Im writing to tell about my trouble with my parents. I am the only child of my parents, for which they have too high expectations for me. However, I often fail to live up to their expectations despite the fact that I have made every effort to acquire a better performance. Therefore, they tend to see me as mediocre and are disappointed at my performance. Sometimes I feel profoundly frustrated in their negative opinions about me but I dont know what to do with it. I hope you can make some suggestions for me. I would appreciate it so much if you can help me out of the trouble.
Looking forward to your early reply.
