My name is Wang and Wei Wei. I am studying in class six (seven) of twenty-three schools in Datong city of Shanxi province. My black hair, a pair of big eyes and bright, pretty nose and small. This is quite satisfactory, but I seem to lack a mans masculinity, wood has become a boat, you have to do.

I love reading, who makes the book the grain and pillar of the human spirit? It is still the ladder of human progress. I often swim in the sea of books, they are like a magical elf, quietly impart knowledge to me. I learn a lot of things in a middle school, it can be said that this is the love of reading the gain! I remember one time, I started reading from the morning, and when I slowed my book from the book, I had five p.m. and I thought I had just seen it for a while.

My study is also the top class in my class. The three giants of Chinese, math and English often give me a light green light. Of course, there is also a time of red light, even when there are Ever-victorious general, failed to do!

......

Every man has his faults. After all, I still have a shortcoming.

I often absent-minded, not forget this, is to forget that. In grade four or five, it is common to forget to bring back the homework book at night. Oh! This is a difficult problem. Yesterday, I was reminding myself that I didnt need to make up lessons tomorrow morning, but I just forgot that when I walked half way, I could hardly remember it. What else could I do to go home?

The second disadvantage is that I do not like to clean up my room. My books can be seen everywhere: on the study table, on the bed, in the bookcase... Well, its everywhere, anyway. If you want to find something smaller here, it will take at least ten minutes.

The third disadvantage is that there is some carelessness in learning, often not to forget the decimal point, that is, to forget the name of the unit. This is my natural enemy, too.

Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

The twentieth century has brought with it many advances. With those advances, human lives have changed dramatically. In some ways life is worse, but mostly it is better. Changes in food preparation methods, for example, have improved our lives greatly.

The convenience of preparing food today is amazing. Even stoves have gotten too slow for us. Microwave cooking is much easier. We can press a few buttons and a meal is completely cooked in just a short time. People used to spend hours preparing an oven-cooked meal, and now they can use that time for other, better things. Plus, there are all kinds of portable, prepackaged foods we can buy. Heat them in the office microwave, and lunch at work is quick and easy.

Food preparation today allows for more variety. With refrigerators and freezers, we can preserve a lot of different foods in our homes. Since technology makes cooking so much faster, people are willing to make several dishes for even a small meal. Parents are more likely to let children be picky, now that they can easily heat them up some prepackaged macaroni and cheese on the side. Needless to say, adults living in the same house may have very different eating habits as well. If they don’t want to cook a lot of different dishes, it’s common now to eat out at restaurants several times a week.

Healthful eating is also easier than ever now. When people cook, they use new fat substitutes and cooking sprays to cut fat and calories. This reduces the risk of heart disease and high cholesterol. Additionally, we can buy fruits and vegetable fresh, frozen or canned. They are easy to prepare, so many of us eat more of those nutritious items daily. A hundred years ago, you couldn’t imagine the process of taking some frozen fruit and ice from the freezer, adding some low-fat yogurt from a plastic cup and some juice from a can in the refrigerator, and whipping up a low-fat smoothie in the blender!

Our lifestyle is fast, but people still like good food. What new food preparation technology has given us is more choices. Today, we can prepare food that is more convenient, healthier, and of greater variety than ever before in history.
