Dear Principal，

Recently I have a lot of problems in the computer room of our school．Many students also had the same experience，so I am writing to tell you my opinions．

I think we should have new computers．The computers that we use at the moment are old and slow，and sometimes they don't work and are not connected to the Internet．Also，we need to buy new keyboards and mice because some letters on the keyboards are missing and many of the mice are not working properly．

Yesterday，for example，in my computer lesson I spent the whole class trying to work out a physics problem．I had to miss the ten-minute break for that．If the PC had a good keyboard，I would not have made so many mistakes．The keyboard had letters missing and the mouse wouldn't move the cursor around the screen properly．I tried other PCs but they were in worse condition．At last，when I was going to finish it，I had another problem—suddenly there was no electricity（电）!（    ）

The government says we should have more IT in all subjects and use IT in more lessons，so we really need to have new computers．

Ricky，

Class 6，Grade 9 student

As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the top ten students in your c  1.  .

   Once you find a dream, what do you do w  2.  it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?

   Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that m  3.  our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge.

   You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it isn’t possible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts p  4.  you from reaching your dream, the book says.

   In f  5.  , everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember the dream in your mind.

   D  6.  let it leave your heart.Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is made up of many small o  7.  . Please never give them up.

   There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest comes from yourself. You need to d  8.  which is the most important. Studying i   9.   of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get c  10.  to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

  I remember how I felt last year. I was   21     because Isabelle had a hard   22     with her subjects. She didn’t get good grades atschool, and I had to push her to do   23   . I even told her former teacher to be strict   24     Isabelle. Luckily, Isabelle’s former

teacher was one of the best teachers I have   25     known. I hope that Isabelle would be better the next semester. I have to tell you that something good    26    .

   In the summer holiday, Isabelle’s  27      improved a lot. I’m soglad that I asked a tutor to help her. The whole summer I was

working hard    28    Isabelle was studying for her reading. At

school, in the first quarter, she got “Needs improvement(改进)”

because she still wasn’t good   29    reading. I had her read for 30 minutes every night.   30     weeks ago, I got her report card. She got an “A” in reading. It wasn’t  31     . Last night, she had to write ten sentences, and it   32    her ten minutes to finish it. I had her read them to me, and the sentences were very good.

   So, my dear children, if you are doing   33     at school, never

give up.(放弃) You can ask   34     for help, and you can get
