How do you spend your free time Do you make good use of your free time Let's see what the four students do.
In my free time, I mainly do two things— dance and karate (空手道). Dancing is a tradition in Brazil. I dance every Wednesday and Saturday. I practice karate in a club three times a week. I have many friends with the same interest in the club. Sometimes I ride my bike to travel around. It' good for the body and the mind.
As a senior (毕业年级的) student in high school,I don't have much free time every week. But I try to make the best use of it. Every day I do exercise like swimming.

I really enjoy running with my mother in the morning. We run three times or more a week. And every time we run for an hour. That makes me feel relaxed and energetic. Every day after dinner, I walk our dog for half an hour. But I hate playing football with my brother. I think that's for boys.
I'm in a band at school. I can play the guitar and the piano, but in the group I'm the singer. So I always play music in my free time. I also love taking photos. I think photos can help us remember wonderful moments and find the beauty around. I like working on the photos with a computer.

Many people dream of going on a great travel adventure. Most of us keep dreaming; others make it happen.
Gregg Beakney's dream was to travel around North and South America from top to bottom, He got the idea after he finished a 1,600- kilometer bike ride. Gregg's friend, Brooks Allen, was also a cyclist. The two friends talked and decided on their goal: they would travel from Alaska to Argentina by bike.
To pay for the journey, Gregg and Brooks worked and saved money for years. Once they were on the road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in hostels. In many places along their route(路线) , local people opened their homes to the two friends and gave them food.
During their trip, Gregg and Brooks cycled through deserts, rainforests and mountains. They visited modern cities and explored ancient ruins(遗迹) , such as Tikal in Guatemala(危地马拉). In many places, they met other cyclists from all over the world. In May 2007— two years, twelve countries, and over 30,500 kilometers later —— Gregg finally reached Ushuaia, Argentina, at the southern tip (端) of South America.
Gregg and Brooks kept a record of their adventures in an online blog. The trip taught both men a lot about travelling.

The library at South Brunswick High School has more than just rows of books. Students can also see a collection of helpful guides on how to use the internet wisely. Many posters with “ Smart Social Networking” tips are on the walls. They were made by Lisa Manganello. The

But you must be able to support it with a fact- based article.” In her class, Manganello and her students discuss the pictures that come with news stories: Are they neutral (中立的) or not Students also learn to compare different news stories on the same topic to see which ones are close to facts.
Olga Polites is a retired English teacher. She believes it's important to teach kids to be critical of what they see online.“ When cars were first invented, we could hardly see discussions about car safety.
