Good morning, class!
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet is popular and it makes our lives colorful. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer and get more information from the Internet. We can learn English. We can read some good newspapers and magazines. It can make us clever in playing computer games. We can send E-mails to our friends quickly. We can chat(聊天) freely online with our friends. It can help us get in touch with people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer game and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Teenagers even get to have boyfriends or girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse and worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. We should get online with adults(成人)--our teacher or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some out-of-class activities at school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We have different kinds of activities. If you are interested in sports, you can play basketball or football. We can go to the English Corner. We can practice talking in English there. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
Thank you for listening to me. That’s all.

This story happened when I was 11 years old. I’ll never forget it.
I was at my friend Jenny’s after school one day. We were doing homework when a friend of Jenny’s mum’s came over to . I don’t remember her name or even what she looked like. I remember her hands, her voice and the lesson she taught me.
I remember her hand reaching out for mine. What hands she had, I thought; rich, dark skin going well with the orange nail polish (指甲油). Then I heard her saying, “Oh no, that is NOT you shake hands. Let me show you.”
After that, I just remember her voice explaining the importance of a good , having a sense of self, looking the other person in the eye… At that moment I felt respected.
I think of her every time I meet someone . I’m so thankful for her little lesson.
I thank her for the time to teach me something I didn’t know. I thank her for the that she didn’t talk down to me because I was 11 or because I didn’t something. I thank her for instilling (灌输) the idea that if someone doesn’t know something, don’t be afraid to share your knowledge.
