| May 20，2021 Dear Principal， I think the students in our school should wear uniforms.Many schools already have them.Uniforms will help our families save money，since we would have to buy only one or two uniforms for the whole year.Uniforms could also give us more pride in our school.And best of all，if we all wore uniforms，kids wouldn't tease each other about their clothes. I know some students think uniforms are ugly and uncomfortable.But maybe we can pick a uniform that everyone likes.I think this is a wonderful idea for our school. Sincerely， Justin Jones |

How do you go to school every day？By bike or on foot？Maybe you can try a new way﹣taking a S'Cool Bus.
The S'Cool Bus is also called the bike bus.It was invented in the bike kingdom﹣the Netherlands.It is all about green lifestyle，sport and sharing.It's interesting for kids to ride the bus together to go to school.
Also，it is very safe.The bike bus has a driver and eleven seats for kids.Each one has a helmet（头盔） and safety belt（安全带）.There is also a roof on the bus.It can be used on hot days or rainy days to make kids feel comfortable.
Riding the bike bus is one of the greatest ways for children to get to school.Peter，a 10﹣year﹣old pupil，becomes a big fan of the bike bus.

The S′Cool Bus is becoming more and more popular in some countries like Germany and France.Its creator Thomas Tolkamp says， "I hope I can sell the bike bus to more countries in the future.As green lifestyle becomes popular，ideas like this get popular，too.I think it will work well in other countries."

I'm in trouble. Last week，we had a football match，and we lost.We played well，but one teammate didn't do his best，I think.It was like he wasn't even on the court!Disappointed by his behaviour，I said all this to my best friend.But he told everyone else what I'd said.I'm really angry with my friend- what should I say to him？And should I say anything at all to my teammate？ |

| |
Reply There is an old American saying， "Loose lips sink ships. "This means that if you speak too much about something，especially to people who you don't know so well，it'll cause all kinds of trouble.Maybe now you're in this situation.Forget all these unhappy things. Like 13 |
|||
| |
Reply Perhaps most importantly，think about your own behaviour.When filled with anger，you would say whatever comes to your mind.You might hurt others.Take a deep breath，calm down，and always remember：think first，speak later. Like 11 |

| |
Reply In my view（观点），you should do what your parents ask.They're much older than you and you should respect them.It's their house you live in and their money you spend! Like 10 |
|||
| |
Reply Here's what you need to do.First，apologise to your teammate.Have a chat with him，and tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking.Then tell your friend you're angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse，but you hope your friendship will move on.
