4.(10分) Some foods in the supermarket come from faraway places.Every day,trucks,trains,ships and airplanes transport these foods from one place to another.In fact,many fruits and vegetables on the shelf are grown in places quite far away from where you live—even in other countries!
Some foods in the supermarket are grown in the area where you live.They are called local foods.Nowadays,many people are trying to eat more local foods.The following are some reasons.
Local foods like fruits and vegetables are fresher because you buy them soon after they were collected from the fields.People don't spend days or weeks transporting them to the supermarket from a place far away.When fruits and vegetables are fresh,they taste better.
Over time,fruits and vegetables lose some of their nutrients(营养).Local foods get to the supermarket much faster
Eating local foods is also good for the environment.Trucks,ships and other forms of transportation pollute the air.The farther they travel,the more pollution they create.A truck carrying foods from a local farm creates much less pollution than a truck that carries foods from far away.
Some foods you enjoy might not be grown in your area as local fruits and vegetables are for sale only in the season when they are ripe(成熟的).So,sometimes

It's normal to have trouble in life.As a middle school student,I love my loving family and the beautiful campus as well as the colorful school life.However,I also have some problems.I don't have any good friends.I don't feel like communicating with my parents,either.Therefore,I always feel very lonely.
My teacher gives me some good advice to solve the problems.First,she advises me to take part in more activities so that I could make more friends.Second,she also suggests that I should talk with my classmates as often as I could.In that way,people will know more about me.Lastly,she tells me to regard my parents as my friends and talk with them more often.Then we can solve the problems together.
I think I should take my teacher's advice and try my best to make more friends.I am sure I can solve the problems in the end.
We can also seek solutions from parents or classmates to address these issues.
