Frog: I can retrieve it for you, but first, you must agree to one condition. You must promise to take me home and be my friend.
Narrator: The princess didn't want to be friends with a frog, but she promised anyway. When the frog brought her the ball, the princess snatched it from him and hurried home.
Frog: What a selfish princess! I'm certain that she has forgotten her promise. I'll just hop over to the castle to remind her.
Narrator: The frog hop-hop-hopped through the grass and knocked on the heavy door of the castle.
Princess: What are you doing here, you bumbling frog
Frog: Dear princess, I am here to remind you of the promise you made.

Narrator: The princess did as she was asked, but the frog looked sad. Frog: You have welcomed me into your home, but I can tell that you don't want to be my friend.
Narrator: The princess's face went red, for what the frog said was true. She bent down to kiss the frog, but ended up kissing a prince.

As you know, homework is big part of study. Sometimes, it may be difficult for us to finish all the homework on time. And we would like to make it easy. 41
Make a homework plan
Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to spend even more time. 42 , especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school.
Watch where you work
A bedroom, a study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework. 43 Otherwise, you might fall asleep there.
Take a break
44 So it may be helpful to take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive(有效率的) than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 10-minute break every hour is a good way for most people.
Get help when you need it
Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after class and explain things more clearly. 45 However, this might not give you the results you want. Lots of people understand something well but are not able to explain it.
A. Most people's attention(注意力) doesn't last very long
B. Here are some suggestions for you to choose from
C. But don't study on your comfortable bed
D. Hope these suggestions can be helpful
E. It's a good idea to make a homework plan

There was nothing for Mary to do in the house, so every day she walked in the gardens. She did this before breakfast, and the fresh air made her hungry. She was so hungry that she even ate the porridge and enjoyed it. After breakfast, Mary walked in the gardens and on the moors. She spent most of her time outdoors and began to feel healthier and happier than she had felt for a very long time.
One day, she walked around the wall without a door.
Suddenly, she heard a bird singing. She looked up, and the robin was sitting on a branch that hung over the wall. She was pleased to see the bird and talked to it." You live in that garden, don't you "she said. "But no one can go in because there isn't a door. I want to know what's behind this wall."
The next morning, when Martha brought her breakfast, she asked, "Martha, why isn't there a door in the wall of one of the gardens "
"I don't know for certain," Martha answered, "but the story is that when Mr Craven married, he and his young wife were very happy. They used to spend a lot of their time together in that garden reading and talking. Then one day, a branch of a tree fell down and hit Mr Craven's wife on the head. The next day she died."
" Oh, that is such a sad story," Mary said.
As she was thinking these things, she heard a cry." What was that " she asked Martha.
Quickly, Martha answered, "Just the wind."
"No, it wasn't," Mary said. "It did not sound like the wind.
And I heard a door shut somewhere."
"If it wasn't the wind," Martha answered, "then it was Betty in the kitchen. She has a toothache." Mary looked at Martha and thought," She isn't telling me the truth. She knows something she doesn't want me to know."

My school life
Hello, everyone! My name is Nancy. I'm a student from Sunshine Secondary School. Now let me tell you something about my school life.
We study Chinese, English, Maths, Art and other subjects. I love all my lessons at school. They are very interesting. My classmates and I always listen to teachers carefully in class and work hard every day.
Our school has many clubs for us. For example, I go to the Reading Club on Tuesday. I learn to make cards to help me remember English words there. In this way, my English is getting better and better.
We also have a school trip once a year. From the trips we can learn a lot about different places.
My school life is so colourful. I enjoy it very much.
