• 1．Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years olds

  Waiter / Waitress    A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds.Not only can one earn 9-12 an hour，but they can also get the tips （小費(fèi)）.Most people that visit a restaurant don't just have good food.They come here to relax and have a good time.Besides serving food quickly，a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant.

  Work in a library    If one is fond of books，working in a library is another suitable choice.Besides the pay is good，it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework.So on returning home，they would have time to hang around with friends or just relax.So working in a library is an excellent part-time job for teens，especially for school students.

  Internet jobs    There are many ways of making money through online jobs like clicking on advertisements，visiting sites and signing up with them.However，such online jobs don't pay well.A better Internet job for teens is to complete online surveys.These are quite simple surveys that usually ask one about his/ her opinions and ideas.Many companies use these ideas to make products designed for teenagers.

  .
  A．in a restaurant

• 2．It was an extremely hot day.My younger brother Walt and I had decided to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr.Blickez's farm and through some woods，because it would be the only way to cool us down.
     The only problem with our plan was that this farm was guarded by a huge mean Hereford bull（公牛） named Elsie.Mr.Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in town，maybe even in the county and we believed in him.But the hotter it got，the more we thought there was something fishy about what he said.For one thing，we remembered Mr.Blickez liked telling tall tales；for another，Elsie seemed like a strange name for a bull.Finally，I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk across the farm，and Mr.Blickez agreed.
     On our way across the farm，we stopped at the fence to admire the swimming hole.The sun shone brightly on the cool water.We couldn't wait to get there.Suddenly，Walt shouted loudly.Elsie had run to him and was licking（舔）his back.I immediately hid behind the fence.However，when I looked up，I saw that Elsie wasn't a big mean bull at all.She was licking my brothers back as long as he stood still.
     When we discovered the truth，we were so happy.We then ran to the swimming hole and jumped in.The water was just as cool as we had dreamed.After that day，we had many good days and we often visited our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called "big mean bull".

• 3．March 16th is World Sleep Day.This year's slogan（標(biāo)語） is "Breathe Easily，Sleep Well".Its aim is to celebrate the benefits of good and healthy sleep.
     Sleep is like food for the brain.Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop.According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US，adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night.For students aged 10 to 17，a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night.
     But many students don't get enough sleep because of early school start time and heavy homework.About 80 percent of middle school students don't get enough sleep，the China Youth and Children Research Center reported.For some students，they want to sleep early，but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can't fall asleep quickly.For others，they may even have insomnia which might keep them awake（醒著的）all night.
     These sleeping problems greatly affect people's lives.Experts have shown that lack of sleep for teenagers leads to poor grades.Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports.Also，the lack of sleep may make them depressed （沮喪的）.
     Luckily，with good sleeping habits，it is easier to fall asleep.Some of these good habits include avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day，going to sleep at the same time each night，and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark，quiet，and neither too warm nor too cold.

  A．10-12 hours.

  " in Chinese.

  Last Friday we have a discussion about whether it is the only way out for senior students to go to college．Views vary from person to person．The majority of us consider this very necessary to go to college．They think it can be widen their knowledge and improve their qualities．Only in this way can they find better jobs before graduation．Very few students think it no use go to university，because the tuition is too high for their family to afford．What's more，it's rather hard for college graduates to seek satisfied jobs．Thirty percents of the students，however，believe"All roads lead Rome．"Therefore，it doesn't make some difference whether they go to college or not．
  In my opinion，we can better themselves through college education so that we can serve society better in the future．
