       US teenagers may be facing a challenge (挑戰(zhàn)) today. A recent survey suggests (表明) that they
are less honest than previous generations (上一代人).
       The survey was done among 29,760 students at 100 US high schools. The results suggest that in
the past year, 30 percent of US high school students have stolen from a store. And 64 percent may
have cheated on a test.
       However, 93 percent of the students said they were satisfied (滿意) with their honesty. And 77
percent said,"when it comes to doing what is right, I am better than most people I know."
Some teachers were unhappy about the survey results. Some,  however,  defended (為……辯護)
today's students.
       "The competition is greater and the pressures (壓力) on kids have increased greatly,"said Mel
Riddle, who was a high school teacher and headmaster for 40 years."It is the pressures that make it
easy for students to be dishonest."
       "I think these students are better than other generations,"he said."I find them more active, better
to work with and more thankful for support."" We have to create situations where it's easy for kids to
do the right things, "he added."We need to create classrooms where learning is more important than
having the right answer."

How I study English

I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.

First, I think an interest(愛好)in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject – English. It was fresh for me . I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!

Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary(詞匯). Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever(不論何時)I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!

Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.

And I also do some exercises from our class magazines, and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.

Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always keep the first position in our school. From these words, I hope every student can learn English well.
