These weren't stopped by their age or size or lack of resources, they saw a（1） 　　in the world around them and to step help where they could. They support female soldiers raise money through their efforts, teach other kids about life lessons, and use their free time to    （2） 　　the old trees we love so dearly in the community. Each of them had adults in their lives encouraging and supporting their work．

We were also honored to interview a famous writer for his new book, Start Now!

At this time of year，we often hear lots of questions from parents．The most one is，"What volunteer chances are there for young children under 16?"The kids in the interview and in the book show us that parents don't have to find an organized event for their kids to take part in．They can create their own chances．As parents，teachers，aunts，uncles，and friends，it's our job to （5） 　　for what speaks to a child's heart，help the man to take that first step，and watch what their little hands can do．

   Start now，and you can raise a change﹣maker．

Chins Mobille 4G 16：74 43% Teaching material discussion group 15

Hi! I 'm doing a survey on teaching materials in school． What kind of textbooks do you use？ Do you think the use of photocopied（复印的） netbooks and newspaper articles in the classroom can be accepted？ Please give your （1） 　　．

The use of such materials is certainly not （2） 　　for writers． Textbooks are like other creative works． Many people have to put their efforts in the writing of a book． The efforts of the writers and publishers will be totally wasted if everyone photocopies their textbooks． I can't imagine that!

I don' t think it right to use photocopied materials even in the classroom because it's against the law． Teachers should set a good example for their students by （3） 　　the law．

Copied books are as good as copyrighted（正版的）ones， but they don't （4） 　　much， usually less than half the price． In addition， it is so （5） 　　to use copied materials． When we want to share something good we just have it photocopied． I think photocopying is OK because publishers are still making a lot of money anyway．

Most of the time， teachers make sure their students do not use photocopied materials． But I know some teachers do use photocopied newspaper articles sometimes， as their students are eager to learn more to widen their views． As you know，teachers always put the （6） 　　of students above anying else． After all， you can't expect all the students to buy newspapers．

Wow! Thank you for sharing so many ideas!

Children like to copy（模仿）what they hear．They copy their parents，their friends and even the TV．This teaches them how to speak the language．Copying is also（36） 　　for students of a second language．When you listen to foreigners speak English，repeat （37）____ 　　they say．

Children don't practice grammar，but they can use the language to talk about things that （38）______them．They don't complain （39） 　　their small vocabulary or poor grammar．They can find ways to express themselves，and they do it（40） 　　．

Students who are learning English should also pay their attention to （41） 　　．Look for chances to talk with people in English．If you can't find a （42） 　　to talk to，you may talk with other students who know English instead．（43） 　　an English discussion and talk about music，movies（44） 　　whatever interests you．Don't worry about（45） 　　．The objective（目标）is to learn how to communicate easily and comfortably．Remember that you can communicate successfully even with a small vocabulary．
