3．　　My name is Wei Fang. I will introduce my school life and my life on weekends.
　　On weekdays my father takes me to school by car. My school is very big and beautiful. There are lots of pictures on the walls. You can see some flowers on the teachers' desks too. We clean the classroom every day. I'm in Grade 7 this year. We start school at 8:00 a. m. and finish school at 5:00 a. m. .I have four classes in the morning and three in the afternoon.
　　My school life is very busy, but I can have a rest on Saturday and Sunday. I usually get up at 6:30 a. m. on weekends. On Saturday, I usually play football with my father in the park near my home for an hour in the morning. Then I often help my mother water flowers in the garden. Around 9:00 a. m. I start to do my homework. In the afternoon, I have piano lessons. Sometimes I play computer games or chat with my friends on the Internet in the evening. On Sunday, I usually go to the library with my friends. Sometimes my parents ask me to go shopping with them.

4．　　There are two children in my family. I am three years younger than my sister Tova, and I think everything she does is great. When I was a kid, I liked to go after her and her friends around, hoping to become one of them, but there wasn't much room for a troublesome (讨厌的) sister. Over time, there is a distance between us although we live in the same house.
　　So when she tells me she's going to China to study, I don't care much. But the first night after she leaves, I keep thinking that something is wrong. The house is too quiet. I feel just how different it is when she isn't at home. I cry sadly. And I make a phone call to her.
　　"Hello?" Her voice sounds the same as before.
　　"Hey, Tova. It's me, Sara. I' m just calling to tell you I love you." My words come out quickly. I know that if I stop in the middle, I won't finish them. "I know we aren't as close as some sisters, but that doesn't mean I'm not missing (想念) you."
　　After a long silence, she finally says, "Your voice makes me feel that you are beside me." And before the call ends, she says very quickly, "I love you, too."
　　I never feel so great to have Tova as my sister. I'm hoping to see my sister back home this December.

5．　　Ms Guo is a teacher from Ordos. She asked her students to hand in their homework through a QR code (二维码). "I teach my students how to make the codes in class, and in the end everything gets easier, " said Guo, "When students finish their homework, they keep it on WeChat. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work using my computer or cellphone. "
　　When Guo scans (扫描) her students' QR codes, their homework comes out on her phone. She finds that their homework becomes more creative (创造性的), with many pictures, music and even a videos.
　　Guo's students like the new way and think it is interesting. "Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun." said Tingting, a student of Guo's.
　　"The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share," Guo said. "Teachers should try to use new ways in teaching. Teaching itself is a kind of creation."
　　However, some parents worry about that their children will spend too much time on computers or phones and less time talking with teachers. But in fact, there is no need to worry. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their work. It doesn't take them too much time. Also for teachers, it lets them check the students' work at any time. And it's also an easy way to share homework with other students.
