My favourite book is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was written by Roald Dahl. In the story, a poor boy named Charlie lives with all his four grandparents and parents in a small house. Like all the other kids of his age, Charlie is also attracted by the chocolate factory owned by Willy Wonka,which is not far from Charlie's home.
One day, Charlie who strongly wishes to enter the chocolate factory hears of some news which is going to make his dream come true. Willy Wonka, the chocolate factory owner, has hidden five tickets separately in five chocolate bars and whoever finds these tickets will be allowed to go into the factory and get a lifetime supply (供应) of chocolate.
The first four tickets are discovered by Augustus Gloop—a child who eats all the time, Veruca Salt—a naughty boy, Violet Beauregarde—a child who likes chewing gums (嚼口香糖) and Mike Teavee who only watches TV. Charlie finds the fifth ticket and goes to visit the factory with his Grandpa Joe. One by one all the other four kids are told to leave the trip because of their bad habits and Charlie wins the prize. He can enjoy as much chocolate as he wants.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been made into films twice. The first was titled Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and was released (发行) in June 1971. The second film was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory released in July 2005.

Artificial intelligence (人工智能) or AI for short,is the science of giving computers and machines ability to think and work like humans.AI scientists and engineers have made a lot of cool technologies.
AI is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. As a result, facial recognition (识别) is used a lot in the world. Chinese police use this technology to check people's information.
AI is also used in self driving cars, which are believed to be the future of driving.
Most drivers may wave or nod at passers by to let them cross the street, but self driving cars don't have this ability. Car makers are testing a light signal system to help them “speak” to humans. The system can show what self driving cars will do.
Service Robots also show you how powerful AI is. Imagine this ---- you come back home from school and your robot housekeeper is waiting for you at the door. After dinner, he teaches you to play the piano, just like a real music teacher. Such thoughts will soon happen in the real word. In the future, more and more service robots will become good home helpers.
AI is so powerful that it can help human beings and even replace us in many jobs.

Nowadays, computer is more and more important. Teachers and parents hope it can help their children with their studies. For students, computer can offer much help, but it can also do some harm.
Computer can be used in our studies. We can search for lots of useful information to do our homework. Besides, it is helpful to relax ourselves. We can watch movies and listen to songs on the computer in our free time.
But if we spend too much time playing computer games, it can do much harm to us. It can hurt our eyes. What's worse, it wastes our time and money, and even makes our grades worse.
I think students should use computers in a correct way. Stop playing games for too long and improve our studies with the help of computer.
