Boys and girls, welcome to our radio club! Our club is very important in our school now. It was started by Tom ten years ago. When he found it was too quiet during the lunch time, Tom advised the headmaster(校长) to set up a radio club, and he agreed. What great advice! Thanks to Tom, we have had many different programmes to listen to at lunch time from then on. There is Music Time for us to hear popular music. And you can hear your favourite songs if you tell us ahead of time. We can give advice on problems, too. For example, how we prepare for exams and how we make friends. And we can also send your best wishes to your friends or teachers on special days. Do you have a good voice? Can you come here to work on time? If the two answers are “Yes”, join us now, please!

Today sending text messages(短信) through mobile phone(手机) is a part of our lives. According to a survey(调查), a third of the U.S. children send more than 100 text messages a day. Sending text messages is becoming more and more popular among young people in China, too. Children prefer text messages to communicate(交流) with friends no matter(不论) where they are, even under the noses of parents and teachers. It seems that some children are “addicted(上瘾)” to sending text messages. In fact, sending too many text messages is bad for their lives, health and study. However, it isn’t all bad. It helps to improve our lives in some ways. Today many children greet(问候) each other on holidays by sending text messages instead of writing paper cards. During the last Spring Festival, more than 15 billion(十亿) text messages were sent in China. “Sending text messages helps save my pocket money,” said Wang Cheng, a friend of mine, “and it saves paper, too.” Many parents send their kids text messages instead of giving orders by mouth.
