Whose job is it to check your homework?
I don't think it's my parents' job to check my homework. Since we have already grown up, we cannot act like little (1) babies (baby) and depend on our parents all the time. We must learn to be(2) independent (independence).
I remember when I was in Grade Three, my parents(3) asked (ask) me to check my homework by myself. I didn't know what to do at that time, so I only cried. But after that, I got used to(4) checking (check) my own homework in my studies.
Checking homework by ourselves is(5) a good habit. It can help us find mistakes in exams more(6) easily (easy), it can also save the teachers a lot of time(7) when they (when) check our homework, and it can also let our parents worry(8) less (little) about our studies.
Some day in the future, Mom and Dad(9) will leave (leave) us. So we should start to learn to do everything by(10) ourselves (we) and really understand how important independence is.

English is always changing. The English that people used 500 years ago is very different from the English we use now. Even in the last fifty years, English has changed. New words are entering our language all the time. The words internet, email and mobile phone are only twenty years old. The word website is even younger. We only started using it fifteen years ago. But what causes languages to change? And is language change a positive or a negative thing?
There are many reasons that languages change. One reason is that technology changes. We use new words for new types of technology. Thirty years ago, we only used the word mouse in English to describe an animal. Today, the word mouse also means the object you use to control a computer. Another important reason for language change is communication between different countries and cultures. For instance, English uses words like sugar from Arabic, shampoo from Hindi and yoghurt from Turkish. Languages also change because young people create their own way of talking that is different from their parents. Teenagers often use new slang﹣informal words and phrases﹣to talk to their friends. Some slang gets forgotten, but other slang words become part of normal, everyday language. Words like bus and rock music started as slang, but now they are in the dictionary and everyone uses them.
But is language change a good thing or a bad thing? Some people think that we should stop languages from changing. They think that they need to protect their language or it will die or become worse. In France, there is an organization called L'Académie Francaise that decides what is correct and what is incorrect in French. They look at the new words that people are using and decide whether they are good French or not. There are also organizations like this in other countries, such as Indonesia and Spain. However, other people believe that language change is a natural thing and shouldn't be stopped. They think that it is normal that languages change over time. They think that languages need to change to stay modern and interesting.

Drug(毒品) use in Britain has increased by 30% in the last five years. Use of hard drugs, for example, cocaine(可卡因) and crack cocaine, is increasing as a result of these drugs becoming cheaper and easier to buy.
Young people in Britain are more likely than other Europeans to take illegal(非法的) drugs. UK teenagers are taking up to five times more illegal drugs, for example, ecstasy tablets(摇头丸) and cannabis(大麻制品), than in other European countries. The most common drug for UK teenagers is cannabis. Over 35% of 15 to 16﹣year﹣olds say they have tried it. Harder drugs such as crack cocaine are less common. As many as one in twelve 12﹣year﹣olds have taken drugs.
British law puts drugs into three groups, from the most dangerous Class A drugs to the least addictive(使人上瘾的) Class C drugs:
● Class A: hard drugs, for example, crack cocaine;
● Class B: for example, ecstasy tablets;
● Class C: "soft" drugs, for example, cannabis, which are also addictive and dangerous.
In the UK there are possibly 500,000 Class A drug users. As a result, the UK spends £390 million a year on treatment centers to fight drug use. Treatment centers spend more than £3,000 to help every drug user. But only 3,800 drug users a year successfully go through the drug treatment.
Teenagers gave the following reasons in order of importance:
● to copy their friends and to look cool;
● so as to have a good time and to feel good;
● in order to see what it is like and to experience something new;
● so as to be like adults, but to be different from their parents;
● because the drugs are cheap and easy to buy;
● because they have nothing better to do with their time.
