Dear Headmaster, Lately our class has become worried about the environment at the back of the school, and we would like to do something to make it more attractive. We have done some research and have come up with a plan. With the help of our parents, we can do most of the work ourselves, but we will need a small amount of money for equipment, plants and paint. I am writing to ask the council for permission to do this work and to ask if the school council could donate ＄500 towards our project. We would like to turn the empty land at the back of the school into a nature garden. We would plant trees and grasses, make paths through the garden and dig a small pond. We think this would provide a peaceful place for students and teachers to walk in. It would also attract birds, insects and small animals which students could then study in science classes. We would also like to paint the back wall of the school that faces the new garden. Some of our art classes could then paint a huge picture on it. It might be possible to paint over the wall each year so the next classes can make a new picture. Lastly, we would like to paint all the rubbish bins. At the moment they look old and the paint is coming off. If we paint them in bright, attractive colors, students might be more likely to use them. We think our plan would greatly improve the back of the school and everyone in the school would benefit. We have already asked our parents and they have promised to donate one weekend of their time to help us complete the project. We hope you will give us permission for this worthwhile project and will be able to donate the ＄500 we need. When we have finished the work, we hope the council will join us in a celebration morning tea so that the whole school can thank you. Yours sincerely, Jim White Monitor of Class 1, Grade 9

The China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation (中国扶贫基金会) has started a program to hire and train 100 local women as substitute mothers (替代妈妈) to take care of left-behind children (留守儿童). The three-year program will select 100 villages across Sichuan Province and hire (雇佣) one woman for each village.
"It is a model to solve the problem of left-behind children," said Liu Wenkui, secretary of the foundation. The "substitute mothers" will do parents' job, finding out what the children need and helping them with problems. Each substitute mother will take care of about 300 to 500 children. There will be a "children's home" in each village to be the mother's office and children's playing space. Their job is to provide quick service and discover the children's problems.
The program hopes to hire women aged 19 to 55 years old from the villages. "We want to hire full-time 'mothers' to make sure they won't think about other work," Liu said. "We want local women because they understand local languages and cultures." The program in Sichuan is an experiment, and Liu said," If it is a successful model, we will start it in the whole country.

Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.
Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It's bad to all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called haze (雾霾).
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, and they mustn't blow dirty smoke into the air.
We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.

After two weeks of meetings in Paris, 195 countries reached an agreement on December 12 to do with climate (气候) change. It's the first time in history that most of the world's countries, rich or poor, agreed to take action. The agreement sets the long-time goal of making sure the world temperature does not get 2°C higher than the levels in the 1800s. Otherwise there will be serious problems on Earth like natural disasters.
The agreement also asks countries to volunteer to make promises based on each country's economy (经济), politics and technology. For developed countries, they will do even more. They have a plan to offer over ＄100 billion (about 647 billion yuan) to help poorer countries develop clean energy like water and wind power.
Besides, there are some legally binding (法律约束的) rules. Those countries need to set national goals for cutting greenhouse gas emissions (排放) every five years. And they will publicly report their progress every five years starting in 2023.
