It's very common to see lightning storms(雷雨) in summer. Some people don't take them carefully. In fact, lightning storms are very dangerous for people, and they can even kill people.
So how do we keep safe during a lightning storm?
If you are indoors, stay away from windows and doors during a lightning storm. Don't take a shower or do the dishes because lightning can travel through water. Turn off the TV and computer. My computer was broken, so I learned it the hard way. Never use the phone. Lightning can travel through the phone line and hit you.
If you are outdoors during a lightning storm, never take shelter(庇护) under a tree because the lightning could hit the tree and travel through the tree to hit you. Stay away from anything that is metal(金属). Try to get in your car and close all the windows, or go into a nearby building right away. If there's no building around, try to find a low place to stay in. Squat(蹬) down near the ground and put your hands over your ears. Never use a cellphone.

Oxfam Trailwalker has been one of Hong Kong's biggest moneyraising events since 1981. It is organized by Oxfam Hong Kong to raise money for helping poor people. People over eighteen can group themselves into a team of four people and join this walk.
Oxfam Trailwalker is a hard hike because you have to finish walking 100 kilometers in 48 hours. It means you may have to walk two days and nights without sleeping. The trailwalkers have to walk through eight country parks and over twenty hills and mountains.
It is a good chance for people to learn team spirit. All the team members must walk together to finish the hike because only the team's finishing time will be recorded. It is necessary for them to support and help each other. You should plan what you are going to carry during the walk.

Good morning, boys and girls. Today I’ll give you a talk about going online.
We know that there are too many net bars（网吧）around us. The Internet makes our lives interesting and enjoyable. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we send e-mails to our friends, they can get them right away. It can help us keep in touch with people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. It takes them too much time to chat online, so they don’t do better 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. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. I 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.
That’s all! Thank you.
