Dear classmates,

Good afternoon!

Today is December 8th. The college entrance exams are really around the corner now. As time becomes limited and school work begins to pile up, many students start to feel much stressed --some find themselves very unenergetic and not able to concentrate; some even fall asleep in class. What should we do to avoid this?

First of all, physical exercise is the best way to reduce stress and help people relax. Therefore it is highly advisable that we have some physical exercise after some hours of mental exercise. Second, having a proper study plan is of great importance too，since it can remind us what to do and is helpful for us to do our work more efficiently. Last but not least, we should pay special attention to our diet as well. Anyway, a balanced and nutritious diet can keep a busy mind smart and energetic.

Only if we can do these three things mentioned above will we make our time of study and preparation work enjoyable, efficient and fruitful.

Thank you.

W: Good morning, Hank. It is wonderful to be back in England.

M: I’m so glad to see you again. It’s over ten years now since we left university.

M: Can I help you?

W: I’d like to order the machines we talked about yesterday. Can I have them within two days?

M: Sure. I’ll send them by air.

W: Where are you going to plant the tree? By the front door?

M: No, that would be silly. It’ll grow too big. I’m going to put it at the back of the garage.

W: I thought it would be better right at the other end of the garden.

M: Oh, no.

W: I’m really angry at John. He never listens to me.

M: Take it easy, Alan. Things will work out.

W; Bob, are you going straight home after school today?

M: No, I have a class until one o’clock, and after that I’m going to spend a couple of hours at the library before going home.

M: Hey, Let’s eat out tonight.

W: Why? You won a big prize?

M: Well, I only want to relax.

W: Really? It’s very nice of you.

M: I’ll take you anywhere you want to go.

W: Wonderful!

W: So, how did it go?

M: Better than I had expected.

W: Didn’t I tell you that you were more fit for the job than others?

M: My education is OK. But I don’t have the experience of working on a project like this. My knowledge is mostly theoretical. That is why I am not so sure about getting this job.

W: I think what matters is that you have the ability to use your knowledge in your work.

M: I hope my interviewers feel that way.

W: Don’t you think they do?

M: I don’t know. All of them are experts in this field.

W: Don’t worry. I am sure they should call you.

M: Did you see the list of books for this course?

W: Yes, Dr. Downs said he expected us to have the first five on the list. He is going to discuss them in detail.

M: Are you going to buy them?

W: I don’t know. These books are expensive. And I don’t have a lot of money with me.

M: How about sharing them with me?

W: Sounds good.

M: Let’s do this. I will buy three and you buy two of them.

W: I would rather do it this way: We pay fifty-fifty of the books now. And at the end of the course you can take the books you find more interesting and I will take the ones like.

M: What if we both like the same books?

W: Come on, we are not going to argue over that. Are we?

M: I was just joking. It’s definitely a better idea.

W: Then let’s get the books as soon as possible.

M: Good morning, Lucy, Can I help you?

W: Good morning, sir. I’d like to talk with you about my studies for a minute, if you may.

M: Certainly, come in and have a seat.

W: Thank you. I have a record of my studies from last year. Would you like to see it?

M: Yes, let me see now. You are studying mathematics, aren’t you?

W: Yes, I am. But I’d like to apply for their admission to the engineering college next year.

M: I see. Have you asked your parents for their advice about this?

W: Yes, I have. They think it is a good idea.

M: Well, your record here has been very good. I don’t think you will have much trouble.

W: I hope not. Anyway, I am going to apply. And I’d like to ask you to write a recommendation for me, if it is not too much trouble.

M: Not trouble at all. I’d be glad to do it. Is there anything else?

W: No, sir, I think that is all. Thank you very much.

Above 3,000people swam across a river in Guangdong Province in a move to make people more aware of environmental protection for the major waterway in south China.

The swimmers including teenagers and elders in their 60s, crossed the 450-meter-wide section of the Pearl River in Guangzhou。

Local authorities organized the swimming activity to show the pollution treatment achievement on the country’s third longest river, and make people more aware of environmental protection.

A 62-year-old swimmer said the water quality had been improved in recent years and now could match the cleanness when he swam in the river in his childhood.

A mass crossing of the river was once held in the 1970s, but for many years since then, it had been impossible for a large group of people to swim across it because of heavy industrial pollution.

Guangdong government has spent tens of millions of US dollars controlling the pollution by shutting down or moving heavily polluting factories.
