Dear Kate,
  It is important for students to learn how to work together in a group. Maybe you should talk to Gary about the problem and tell him you all need his help. If he still doesnt change, go to talk to your teacher. I believe she can make Gary do his job.

Dear Aunt Linda你说我听着呢
  I have a problem with my homework. We have to do it in a group. It has to be finished this Friday, but Gary, the boy in our group, has done nothing helpful. He just keeps rocking the boat痞幼视频3分25是什么. Every time we talk about the work with him, he always says, Dont worry. Ill do later. But he hardly ever does his job. And when he does, he does it the wrong way. Someone has to do it for him again. Whats worse is when Ms.Lin asks about our group, Gary always tells her that we others dont work hard enough. Im really angry with Gary at this. Were in the same group. Shouldnt we help each other to do a better job?

Here is with people said on the Internet about a restaurant.
Is Goodies good?                              7:00PM 06/16 
Does anyone know about Goodies next to the Mad-Eye Theater? I want
to invite my students there for a class party this Saturday. Thanks!                         
            RE: Is Goodies good?                          7:30PM 06/16
            My dad took me there yesterday. I don’t know if it’s expensive. He paid.
            The food was fine, not the best, though. But you must try its ice cream. I
            just can’t get enough of it. Dinner is $50 cheaper if you eat there on your
            birthday.

            Its food is good but its waiters are not. For that price, I think you should               
            go to Awe’s. It’s a little far from the theater, but the waiters there are 
天天向上 尹峰            friendly, and the food is wonderful. It’s celebrating its fifth birthday, so
            lunch is only half price this week.       
            RE: Is Goodies good?                          9:40PM 06/16
            It’s the best restaurant I have ever been to. It’s a little expensive. But it
            costs $ 100 less than lunch. Crazy_p is right about the ice cream. There’s
            no other word for it!
            RE: Is Goodies good?                          10:05PM 06/16
            There’s only one good thing about Goodies: After you eat there,
            Everything else on earth tastes good! About the waiters, do they have
            any?
1.What kind of job might Jane do?
A.A teacher    B. A waitress      C. An actress        D. A nurse
2.What can we know about Awe’s?
A.It is close to the Mad-Eye Theater. B. The food there is better than Goodies’
B.It has been open for six years.  D. The waiters there are friendlier than Goodies’
3. Which of the following is the ad of Goodies?
A.                              B.

Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben, asked us for a set of drums for his birthday. At first, we were very much against the idea because of the noise. “It's better than watching TV or playing computer games in my free time,” Ben argued, “and it'll keep me out of trou
ble. In the end, we gave in.  “All right, “we said, " but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbors when you play.”
That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instruments to transport运输), the other members of Ben's band started appearing at our home with their guitars and other instruments. And so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing。
At least Ben's hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start practicing, my husband and I go out for a long walk. And I must agree that, although their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite group of young men. I cannot judge (评判) their musical skill-after all I didn’t expect my parents' generation (一代人) to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager-but they do play at the same time each week in local clubs for young people。
Our main worry is that they won't spend enough time on their school work because of their musical activities, though this hasn’t happened yet. I am always stressing to Ben ho
w important his studies are. But one thing is certain- Ben was right: it has kept him out of trouble and he is never bored.

Just like us, animals talk to each other all the time. However, instead of words, they use sounds and movements. Social animals live together so there’s a lot to say! What’s more, it’s not just elephants, monkeys and other animals we consider to be smart that are expert communicators, insect(昆虫)like ants and bees can communicate very well, too.
