Dear Lin Tao,

　　I am writing to you in English．I hope you can understand(懂)it．

　　I love studying in London and I have many new friends．Most of them are my classmates．From Monday to Friday, we have English, math, physics and P．E．in the morning．I like English and physics, because they’re interesting．I don't like math．It's too boring．At noon, I have to have lunch at school because my home is far from(远离)my school．We usually have two classes in the afternoon－art and politics．We finish our classes at 3：30 p．m．After school, my friends and I always play football on the playground．And then we go home by bus．

　　On weekends, we have no classes．We often go to the park and sometimes we go to the movies in the evening．We see movies twice a month．I like some famous(著名的)actors like Jackie Chan．

　　Oh, I have no time to write more．Please write back soon．

Best wishes,

Wang Gang

　　Maybe you know floods, droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on．But have ever heard of typhoons?

　　Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea．Most happen in July, August and September．

　　How does a typhoon happen?When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates into the air．This makes the air hotter．When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky．Then, cooler air around it rushes in．It fills the space that is left．After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind．The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher in the sky．The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves．And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins．

　　A typhoon has two parts, One is called the “eye”．In the eye, the wind does not move so fast．The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye．This is where the strongest with and hardest rains are．

　　Typhoons are very dangerous．In 2004, Typhoon Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang, and 24 people were missing．In May 2006, Typhoon Pearl hir Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were damaged．

　　What to do when a typhoon hits

　　Stay inside, Close all the windows and stay away from them．

　　Try to bring all of your things inside．Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!

　　Listen to the radio or TV for important information．

　　If you’re told to go to a safer place, do so right away．

　　Every time you turn on the television or take a ride in a car ,you could be adding to a problem called acid rain(酸雨)．In this article, you’ll learn how acid is created, and how it affects us, and more importantly, what we all can do to prevent it．

　　When people use fuels(燃料), such as coal and gasoline, poisonous gases are give off．When these gases mix with rain, acid rain forms．Many power stations burn fuels in order to creat the electricity(电)that we use in our homes and offices every day．Cars and trucks also send these gases into the air when they burn gasoline．When rain mixes with these gases, harmful things called acids form．This is acid rain．

　　Acid rain damages(毁坏)everything that it touches．It poisons our rivers, ponds, lakes, and oceans along with all the life in them．It pollutes our soil and crops, harms trees, and can even kill fish and plants．Acid rain also eats away at buildings．

　　We need to cut down on the pollution that gets into our air．Turn off lights, television, and other electrical appliances if you are not using them, Walk or take a bike whenever possible．If you are travelling a long distance, take a bus or train to save fuel．

　　As research shows, acid rain harms our environment．But people everywhere can take small steps now to help protect our environment for future generations．
