Have you ever asked your relatives or friends if there is Wi-Fi in their houses? Have you ever searched for Wi-Fi when you are at restaurants or hotels? The answers will probably be "Yes". Most of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we can't live without it. But we can only use free Wi-Fi in some public places. We still have to spend some money accessing(连接)the Internet at most time. Here comes a piece of good news.
A rich, powerful organization in the USA called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) has decided to change the age of online computing (计算) completely by giving free Wi-Fi to every person on Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit(轨道)in 2015.
This is because they have made a survey and found that only 60% of the world's population have been able to get information on the Internet. And this is also because many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure(基础设施)to access the web.
We can expect to use free Wi-Fi everywhere in the near future.

Have you ever planted a few trees on Tree Planting Day? Each year, millions of people, both , plant a lot of trees. But this may not be the best way to make your home a place.
Last week we visited a park in Hebei. We were to find most of the trees had been burned. The workers told us that the trees soon after they were planted because they weren’t watered well enough. workers burned them and cleaned the place for trees to be planted this year. a card found in one of the dead trees, a student wrote,“I hope this tree will grow up with me to the backbone (栋梁) of our country.” The workers said that the survival(存活) of the trees was really more important than trees were planted.

live nearby with the program on. Many people like this function, because it can help them to find more people who they may know.
In my , Wechat is really a useful chatting tool. It can help people communicate with their friends more
. However, it is also bad for people, especially students. As you see, some people use Wechat for too long. It is not healthy to them. So I have some

We should learn to use it properly. Remember, Wechat is not everything in your life. Don’t depend too much on it.
