When some plates of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many
earthquakes begin under the sea. Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. They
often happen near the mountains.
During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack (断
裂) open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages
or cities are destroyed.
Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have
studied earthquakes and make maps that show the “earthquake belts”. In areas (地
区) in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we should
build strong houses to fight against earthquakes.
In the future, scientists will be able to tell when and where an earthquake will
be before they happen. They can also tell people what to do and how to do it.

With more and more farmers coming to the work in cities, their children follow them.
However, problems appear, one of these problems is that it is difficult for these children to get
education in cities.
Luckily, there are some free schools for them, but they are not enough. Ten-year-old Li Xin is
one of the lucky girls who get a chance to study in one of these schools. Although she has to spend
about two hours and change buses twice, she is very happy. As a child from a migrant worker’s
(外来务工人员) family in the city, finally she has been given the chance to study. 1_________,
these free schools are their best choice, because they can have free classes, textbooks, uniforms
and meals in the school for two years,
But there is a long way to go, 2__________, because running a school is not easy and needs a
lot of money. A school officer said that they needed at least one million yuan to run the school.
“Luckily, some people and companies donate money, used books and a lot more other things to
help us. Also some people work as teachers for free..” he added.
In a word, both the government and the people keep improving the whole country’s education
either in countries or in cities. Don’t you think the children nowadays are luckier than their parents
were? Anyhow, we must try to give them a equal chance to get better education so that we can
make our society a harmonious (和谐) one.

A survey was made about teenagers’ studying abroad. Some think it has advantages, while
others don’t think so. Usually, studying abroad may provide students with more choices on
subjects. It’s really helpful for teenagers to improve their English. They will meet students from
different parts of the world and learn more about foreign cultures though it may cost too much.
It’s usually difficult for teenagers to live alone in a quite different country. They don’t have
enough money to live a better life and they have trouble understanding the teachers in class. In my
opinion, teenagers should study at home because they are too young to take good care of
themselves abroad.
