Every day when I enter the classroom, I will take a look at the wall beside my seat. You will find nothing special about this old wall if you just look at it. But for the students in my class, it is a special wall. Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us, the 9^th graders.
In the middle of the wall, there is a big “VICTORY”. It was written in pencil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.
A little higher above the formulas, there is a poem. It only has two sentences. It reads: All those sweet memories have disappeared. Like tears dropping in the heavy rain.
Oh! It must have been written at the end of the last semester in middle school. Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part. What a sad poem!
If you look at the wall more carefully, you will find many other interesting things, like a crying face, or a happy face, and other patterns(图案). There are still some patterns and letters that I can’t understand, but they all show the feeling of the students who drew them.
For years, the wall has witnessed(目睹) all the things that have happened in the classroom. I don’t know how it will be next year, two years from now, or even ten years from now. But I hope more smiling faces will be drawn on it.

Many middle school students like watching TV very much. But from Monday to Friday, they must go to school. So on Saturday and Sunday they stay at home and watch TV from morning to night. They don’t know it’s bad for their eyes. Usually children like to eat fish, meat and chicken and don’t like vegetables or fruit. They don’t know eating more vegetables or fruit. They don’t know eating more vegetables and fruit is better than eating meat.
At school, the children only do a few minutes of sports or never do any sports. The teachers must know it isn’t good for their health.
We always think of ways to keep healthy. We must eat more vegetables and fruit, do enough sport every day. And we should watch TV and read in right ways.

Many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars(火星). Here is what life could be like.
First of all, transport should be much better. By 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light.  【小题1】 
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to find plants that can grow on Mars. These plants will provide us with food and air.
 【小题2】  We could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars will be better in many ways.  【小题3】  It is possible to live in a large building with many bedrooms. Then, robot will do most of the work, so we have more time for hobbies.
 【小题4】 Every student can study, do their homework on the computer and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”.
