Dear editor,
I live in a beautiful city. Many visitors come to my city every year because
there are so many colorful peacocks () here.
The peacocks mostly live on the grassland of Dongfeng Square. Visitors usually
throw food to them, but they dont think about at all whether the food is good
or not. Some of the peacocks became ill, and some even died eating the bad food
given by visitors.
Im sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the
bird, but they dont realize that they may be doing them harm (). Visitors
should be told that what they have done is harmful to the birds, and this kind
of thing must be stopped.
Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock
food. For us every person, it is our duty to give more love to these beautiful
birds to look after them carefully.Yours,
Wang Yang

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do
you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save
yourself. It is important to know the ways you can use and to show them to
everyone in the family, such as stairways () and fire escapes, but not
lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible,
learn the best way of leaving through windows with the least chance of serious
injury ().

person, hanging by the finger-tips () will have a drop of about six feet
to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer
to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door
closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the
window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked (
) into the room.

Zhang Li lies in bed sadly. The 24-year-old young man lost his right leg

smoking had caused the disease.
I first smoked a cigarette when I was in Junior 3. It made me feel like a man

According to the 2008 China Tobacco Control report (), 130
million young people who are under 18 years old have tried smoking. Fifteen
million of them are addicted ().
The report came out on May 31, World No-Smoking Day. (83)It also found that

top killers in China. Each year 1 million people die from smoking-related (
) diseases. Smoking causes illnesses like lung cancer and heart
