Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one.
Today, I would like to tell you what you are allowed (允许) and not allowed to do here.
The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy wine in this country if you are not
above 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.
Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means (方式), but please don’t make unnecessary
noise, especially at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.
Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this
country. Use the zebra crossing and do not take any chance when crossing the road.
My next point is about litter. It isn’t lawful to drop litter in the street. When you have
something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a dustbin.
Finally, smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes (香烟) if you are under 16 years of
age.
I’d like to finish by saying that if you need any kind of help, you should contact the police,
who will be pleased to help you. You can call, write or directly go to ask any policeman.

Homework is an important part of school life. Here is some advice for you to make
homework easy.
Make a homework plan
Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy
homework day, it may take you even more time to finish it. It is a good idea to come up with a
homework schedule (进度表), especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after
school.
Watch where you work
A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your
homework. But don’t study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there.
Take a break
Most people’s attention (注意力) doesn’t last very long, so take some breaks when doing
your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive (多产的) than
if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most
people.
Title: Homework Help
Homework can be quite hard, but there is something you can do to make
Topic
homework much 1 .
Making a homework plan Heavy homework means 2 more time on your
study, so it is a good idea to have a homework plan
so that you can 3 in all kinds of after-school
activities.
Useful advice 4 where you work It is necessary for you to study in a quiet place, so a
bedroom or a study is a good choice.
