第二节 书面表达（满分10分）

A survey about the relationship between students and teachers, family members or classmates is being made by a research study group of our school. 

Generally speaking，we are getting on well with each other. However, there exist some problems. Some students are easy to lose their temper because of anxiety and study burden. Sometimes they are too self-centered. What’s worse, they sometimes quarrel with others, and even turn a deaf ear to their parents and teachers and speak against their parents and teachers, which is very disappointing.

In my opinion, we middle school students should make our efforts to improve the situation. First, we should respect our parents and teachers as well as our classmates. Second, when we are not feeling happy, we can have a heart-to-heart chat with our friends or teachers or even parents. It is likely that they can understand us better and give us some reasonable advice.

    My friend David kept birds. One day he phoned me and told me he was going away for a week. He asked me to feed the birds for him and said that he would leave the key to his front door in his mailbox. Unfortunately, I forgot all about the birds until the night before David was going to return. What was worse, it was already dark when I arrived at his house. I soon found that the key didn’t unlock either the front door or the back door. I was just going to give up when I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open. I found a barrel and pushed it under the window. As the barrel was very heavy, it made a lot of noise. In the end, I managed to climb up and open the window. I actually had one leg inside the bedroom when I realised that someone was shining a torch up at me. I looked down and saw a policeman and an old lady, one of David’s neighbours. “What are you doing up there?” asked the policeman. Feeling like a complete fool, I replied, “I was just going to feed my friend’s birds.”
