School should make our lunchtime longer. Now, our lunchtime is short. Many of my classmates have some homework to do after lunch . But if they do not get a good rest, they won’t have enough energy for the afternoon. So I would like to have some time to take a nap (午睡)after lunch . That way we will learn well in the afternoon.

Food in our dining hall is not nice at all. There is always pork, fish, and cabbages. The soup is always cold. I think we should have different kinds of food every day. And why can’t we have hot soup every day ? I am fed up with what we eat !

We want more time for sports activities. Students all need time for ball games. But there are only two hours for us to play ball games a week. I think school should be over before 4.30 p.m. every day and then we can go to the playground. I like badminton. All work and no play makes Jack a dull(迟钝的) boy !

Should we teenagers help our parents do chores? Is it important for us to learn how to do chores? I think so. Most of the teenagers like(象) us students are the only children in each family. So our parents love us very much. They have done everything well for us and don’t want us to do any chores. I think it’s bad for us. The following is a real story. I have a classmate called Li Ting. She is the only children in his family like me. Her parents love her very much that they don’t let her do any chores. Every day she only gets up, has meals, goes to school, comes home, does homework and goes to bed. So she doesn’t  know how to do chores. One day, her father was badly ill and had an operation（手术）in a hospital. Her mother had to take care of her father in the hospital and couldn’t cook the dishes for Li Ting for a week. Li Ting didn’t  know how to cook the meal. She fell down in great trouble(麻烦) and often felt(感到) hungry. Later she even had instant noodles(方便面)only for meals. How funny! From the story we know it’s very important for us to learn to do chores And other skill（能力）from now on besides(除。。。之外) studying.
