My Favourite Great Book

My favourite great book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.

Tom Sawyer is a lively and clever boy. He lives with his aunt Polly. His aunt is strict with him， so he runs to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River with two friends， Huck and Joe. With Huck， he goes looking for treasure; with Becky， he gets lost in a cave. And finally Tom and Huck find a box of gold. Tom is the hero of the story， but there are other important characters. Becky is pretty with fair hair. Huck is Tom’s best friend， and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.

The theme of the story is to do with children growing up and becoming more serious.

How to keep a good relationship with parents

In my opinion， I have too many rules at home. My parents never allow me to go out with my friends at night. They don’t allow me to choose my own clothes， either. And they pay too much attention to my exam results. I think my parents don’t quite understand me.

However， I try my best to understand them. Although they don’t allow me to make my own decisions and give me too much pressure， I know that it is because they really love me and want me to have a bright future.

In order to keep a good relationship with my parents， I study hard， listen to them， talk to them as friends， tell them my troubles， and help them do more housework.

实现有效的沟通，建立良好的人际关系，不仅要善于表达，更要善于倾听。请你根据表格中所提供的信息，写一篇题为“Being a Good Listener”的英文演讲稿。

Being a Good Listener

Good afternoon， everyone！

Today I’d like to share my ideas of “Being a Good Listener” with you.

Good listening can always show respect and build good relationships with people.

Parents should listen to their children， so they will understand them better and trust each other. Teachers should also listen to their students so that they can increase their understanding and improve relationships. Students should listen to their classmates， then their friendship will be increased and they will help each other.

We’d better be patient while listening. Don’t forget to keep silent while listening. In a word， good listening can really make us get closer to each other.

Thank you for your listening！

How to keep safe？

As teenagers， we should always keep safety in mind. But how can we keep safe？ Here are some of my suggestions.

First， we should be careful when we make friends， especially on line. Second， if we are in danger， we must call the police for help in time so that we can keep ourselves safe. Also，we ought to eat healthily and safely. Eating food that goes bad will do harm to our health. Last but not least， summer is coming， and we must remember it's dangerous to swim in the river.

In short， safety must come first ！

Reading---A good Habit

Reading is a very good habit. I like reading very much. In my eyes， I think that forming a good reading habit is necessary for us. It can not only improve our knowledge but also make us to think over more different things efficiently.

Besides， we can do some reading every time when we are free. For example， I often read some of my favorite books in my spare time both at home or in the library. What I like most are story books because most of them are quite interesting. Now I often buy my favorite books on line for its big discount.

Finally， I like to share my favorite books with our family or my classmates. Since reading can benefits us a lot， it’s time for us to have our good reading habit now！
