“Look! The girl 1is wearing (wear) a funny dress!” Lily said to her friend Nancy on their way to school by bike. She laughed loudly. Nancy reminded Lily that it wasn’t polite 2to say (say) so. However, Lily kept laughing.

When Lily looked at the girl, she realized the girl was the one she had laughed at. Her face turned red. “I’m sorry,” she said to the girl. “I laughed at you 7but you still decided to help me.”

The girl smiled and said, “It’s okay. Just be kind to 8others (other) next time.”

Lily learned something important from 9her (she) experience. She should respect 10strangers (strange) and shouldn’t laugh at others.

In this new story, Judy and Nick meet a new strange reptile（爬行动物） — Gary, a snake. Gary’s coming brings a big problem to Zootopia. They find a long-time secret and have to work quietly to solve it. The film’s pictures are much better than the first film’s. The animals’ hair and scales（鳞片） look very real. You can watch it in many ways, like 3D.

It will be a nice experience and you can go to the cinema with your family to enjoy this wonderful adventure and share happy moments with your family members.

It was a cold Monday morning, but for Maya and the other seventy-four students, it was a good day to go on a trip to the Lower Wapato Creek（小溪）. It is home to many kinds of trees and salmon（鲑鱼）.

Why did those students take the trip to the creek? It was because of a letter from Maya. In her letter, Maya said, “I like salmon. To help them, I want to plant trees at the Lower Wapato Creek Habitat（栖息地）.”

After reading Maya’s letter, her teacher Lauren helped make her wish come true. At first, the students planted trees along the creek. It was difficult but interesting for them. Then a biologist（生物学家） took them to visit salmon. She gave them a lesson about salmon.

Maya felt very happy to take the great trip. She learned a lot about salmon and planted trees to help them. “I want to show those trees we planted to my friends and parents,” she said happily.

My School Trip to Qufu

Last term, I went on a school trip to Qufu with my teachers and classmates. It was a wonderful three-day trip and really unforgettable.

On the first day, we visited the statue of Confucius. We listened to his stories and learned about his great thoughts.

On the second day, we visited the Three Kong Sites. We saw many ancient buildings and experienced traditional culture there. In the evening, we had a campfire party. We sang and danced happily. We were so excited.

On the third day, we visited Confucius Museum. A guide showed us around and we saw many old works. Also, we visited Qufu Normal University. We walked around the campus and felt its wonderful school life. It encouraged me to study hard to get into a good university in the future.

All in all, I learned much about Chinese traditional culture from this trip. It was truly a meaningful trip. It was a day to remember.
