At noon the sun shines over your head. Your body stops very little light from reaching the ground. So your shadow is quite short. But in early morning or late afternoon the sun is low in the sky. Its light moves over more of your body. Then your shadow is quite long. Your body keeps a lot of light from reaching the ground.
We love light, especially sunlight. Without sunlight, life on the earth is impossible to exist. Most of us like to stand in the shadow of a tree in summer.

feeling. In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month.

书面表达(10分)
I’m a middle school student. Nowadays, there are many left-behind children around us. Their parents work away from them. They always feel lonely because they need their parents’ love. At the same time, they are easy to make mistakes because they’re short of their parents’ care. But how to solve these problems In my opinion, schools and teachers should care for these children and give them more love. And the people around them should organize more activities to make them happy. What’s more, their parents should come back as often as possible and look after them. We need a harmonious society. We want every child to be happy every day.
