Iphones may be the most popular mobiles in the world now. Not only do adults use them, but little children also like them.

Natasha Shykes is a mother of two kids in America. When her daughter, Kelsey, was only two years old, she became interested in her father’s iphone. “She pressed the button (按钮) and the phone lit up. It seemed to be amazing for her,” said Natasha. “Then she got serious about the phone. She always cried for it. It seemed that she also wanted an iphone.”

Iphones are easy to use. So it is not difficult for little children to use them. Many applications (应用软件) on iphones are designed for children who are too young to go to school. For example, children can learn more about the animals in the world by watching the videos on the phones.

However, parents are very worried about this. They don’t know whether they should buy their children iphones or not. There are two main reasons. One is that they are afraid that children may destroy the iphones. Another reason is that they are not sure whether iphones can really be used as educational tools.

We students enjoy our school life, but sometimes we feel unhappy. It’s every student’s      dream. At the     of every term, we have six exams.

Last week, I finished my final exams. The math exam was the easiest one of all. Most of the problems were from early examsso I     it soon. The biology exam was hard. The questions were so difficult     I had to guess the answers to them. And there wasn’t enough     to check every answer. But after the exam, my teacher said I did well in it.

In the computer exam, we had a lot to do. I thought I needed more time, but some of my classmates didn’t think     . They just wrote down the answers quickly and then     games. I didn’t think I could get a good mark in the English exam because it was a little difficult     me and I didn’t work hard enough at English.

In our school, we can     some elective courses (选修课). That means students can learn these courses by     and then take the exam. If they pass, they don’t have to have these courses any more.

Now, I am very glad that all the exams are over. The summer holiday is coming and I will enjoy it.
