Do you like dogs? Do you know the following things about dogs?
The first pet dog
Dogs are meat-eating animals. They belonged to the family of wolves (狼) a long time ago. About 15,000 years ago, people started keeping wolves for hunting (狩獵). Over the time, the wolves began to look like dogs and they became people’s pets.
What a dog looks like
Dogs come in different sizes, colors and shapes, but they’re the same in some ways. All kinds of dogs have a set of forty-two strong teeth for eating. They have sharp claws (利爪) at the end of their feet for digging up soil (挖土) and holding onto the ground when they walk. They have very good eyesight. They also have high ability (能力) to hear and smell.
How a dog grows
A mother dog gives birth to one to twelve babies at a time. New-born baby dogs cannot see or hear until they are two weeks old. The mother dog gives the baby dogs milk. When they are four weeks old, they start eating soft food. When they’re eight weeks, the baby dogs have very strong legs and they can go for long walks.
How to read a dog’s feelings
Dogs act differently when they have different feelings. When a dog is angry, it opens its mouth and shows its teeth. When a dog is frightened, it lowers its ears and holds its tail (尾巴) between its legs. A happy dog always wags (搖擺) its tail.

I think all of us should know it’s necessary to have breakfast. It’s one of the most important meals of the day. If you want to keep fit, you should have a good breakfast. Choosing the right food is also important. For it, you may have bread, eggs and milk, etc.
But in fact, many students go to school without breakfast. This does harm to their health. Maybe they say they have no time because it’s too late or their parents are too busy to prepare breakfast for them.
What will happen to the students on an empty(空的)stomach(胃)? Because of no energy, they can’t keep active. They may not grow fast. When they feel hungry, they are not able to study well and they have no energy to play well, either. What’s worse(更糟), they will spend more time getting better once they fall ill.
Therefore(因此), we shouldn’t go to school without breakfast, no matter what reason(原因)it is.

Most children don't enjoy doing housework. They like playing computer games rather than cleaning the rooms. But in Australia, Jim and Robert's mother, Mrs Black, has good and proper methods to get their children to do housework. 
Here is an example. 
"Mum, have you worked out next week's housework? Let Jim and me choose the cards I can't wait. It's fun!"

On the cards, there are some words like these, "sweep the floor, clean your bedroom, help mum cook, wash vegetables, make beds, feed the fish, cut the wood, clean the bathroom" and many others, Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they would hang them on the week day task board. Jim likes to clean the bathroom, so he picked up the card "clean the bathroom". Robert loves to make the bed so he picked up his favorite card. Jim again picked up "wash vegetables" and Robert chose"feed the fish". Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards 
To help the children do housework, their mother thought hard and came up with this idea. Of course, the parents did the housework on the weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free.
