I still remember the true story that happened to me many years ago. It started while my family were on vacation. Vacations should be relaxing, but I needed to do some studying. I carefully put all my important papers and books in a large bag, and put it in the car. After a long drive to Los Angeles, we found a motel, place for travelers and their cars, with a really good price. So we decided to stay for a week. On the second day, after visiting some interesting places and having a big dinner, we returned to the motel. It was about ten o’clock in the evening, and I started working. However, I couldn’t find my paper bag everywhere. I was quite sure that I had put it in the room. Suddenly, I realized the cleaner had taken it out with the rubbish. I ran over to the main office, and asked if I could talk to the cleaner on duty that day. They told me all the cleaners had left for the day. They showed me where the rubbish buns(箱) were instead of offering me any help. I walked out of the motel with a flashlight(电筒). I saw three large rubbish bins standing in the dark. I had to look for my bag very carefully. But I didn’t have any luck. I almost wanted to give up. When I took another look into the last bin, I saw my bag right on its top! I was never so happy to see such a dirty old bag in my life! (?? )47. Before leaving for the Los Angeles, the writer put his important papers and books

Let’s talk about subway system around the world. Many large cities have a subway system (地铁系统).Cities have different names of their subways. The subway is called tube in London. In San Francisco, it is called BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit).
Some subway systems, like New York’s, for example, are very old. It opened in 1887. Others are more recent. For example, Mexico City’s subway started in 1969. Most subways are very modern and clean, but sometimes they get very crowded, so people have to follow certain rules to make the trip more comfortable. In London, when people use the tube, they must stand on the right because people in a hurry can walk on the left. They let passengers get off the train before others get on, and people are expected to give their seats to the old and disabled people. Some subways provide excellent services. In most subways, there is a station about every one kilometer. Trains arrive at a station about every two minutes. Subways carry a lot of passengers. The number of people traveling one way each hour in London can be about 30,000.

九、Health is very important for us all. In order to keep healthy, I always eat healthy food and do enough exercise. I have three meals at home and I often eat vegetables and fruit, as well as meat and fish. After school, I often do some sports with my classmates, such as playing basketball and table tennis. In the evening, I go to bed early after I finish my homework. So I’m in excellent condition.
Do you want to be as healthy as I? Here is some advice. First, stop eating fast food and have healthy food. Second, don’t spend too much time in front of the computer. Try to do more exercise every day. Third, it’s good for your health to go to bed early in the evening. If you follow my advice, you will become healthier and healthier.
