As a result, the Masai and the students have to move a lot, so the cows have grass to eat.Back in the United States, Kenya is on the minds of the students at Langley School all year.

A newspaper in Chengdu did a survey last month. It found that 90 percent of junior high school students use micro blogs. They give students an outlet (出口) for emotion. “I use micro blogs to record my life. I let everyone see my feelings and complaints,” said Liu Fangyue, 14, from Xiamen No.1 Middle School. They have fun with classmates even after school. “I would send a message to praise someone who came first in the exam,” said Liu.Teachers also join in the fun. “When I sit down to talk to my students, they may not tell me their real thoughts,” said Lu Dongping at Nanning No. 2 Middle School. “But on micro blogs, they are more relaxed. They even make fun of me.”You would be wrong if you think micro blogs are all about fun. Zhong Yun from Xiamen Haicang Experimental School sees it as a tool to learn English. The 13-year-old girl follows foreign stars such as Avril Lavigne and Justin Bieber. “In order to understand their English posts, I have to check the dictionary and learn many new words,” said Zhong. “Micro blogs widen students perspectives (观点), but there are rules to follow,” said Shi Zhongying, a professor from Beijing Normal University. He shares some of them with micro bloggers. “Manage your time, and dont let micro-blogging affect your studies and health,” said Shi. “Dont give out your name, family address or phone number on micro blogs.

Now about 1,100 companies are asked to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives then an important change.Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing them. Parents care too much about their children . They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, but children dont know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.Title: Survival HolidaysWhat “Survival Holidays” isIt is an exciting activity that 62 . can get into the lonely place 63 . their parents.Why people like itBecause its 64 . for children to be close to nature and gives them an 65 . change.What children in big cities usually do in their free timeIt 66 . them all the time to watch TV and play computer games.67 . we think “Survival Holidays” is a good ideaParents should leave their children 68 . .Children need to learn how to face 69 . .What children can learn in the survival activities“Survival Holidays” is a meaningful experience for children that they will never 70 . .
