Dear Museum Scientists,
My name is Yang Jingjing. 1 live by the sea, near a mangrove swamp (红树林沼泽地).
My mom is 2 tour guide. She knows a lot about the mangrove swamp. She loves 3 people the beautiful animals that live there. I am writing to you 4 I'm worried about what is happening near my home. The mangroves are home to many5 such as birds, butterflies, snakes and so on. Down in the water under the trees are homes of fish and shrimp. The mangroves also protect us6 wind, waves and floods (浪潮与水灾).
However, in the past few years, things7greatly. These changes bring lots of worries to more and more people. New neighborhoods (社区)8 last year and the year before. It turned the place with mangroves into stores, houses, cinemas, restaurants and car parks. What is even 9, all these things are still going on! What will happen to the animals that live in the mangroves? I don't know10. How I wish we can find a way to live together with the mangroves and animals!
Sincerely yours,
Yang Jingjing
One morning when Liu Tao woke up, he jumped out of his bed happily. He had a1 idea. He would build a tree house! Liu Tao asked his dad, "Is it OK if I build a tree house in the old tree outside the 2?"
"It's not only OK," said Dad. "I'll even 3 you build it."
When they finished breakfast, both of them went out to the 4 in their garden and began to measure (测量). Then they got some boards and started to 5 them with a saw (锯子). When the pieces were ready, Liu Tao climbed up in the tree and Dad handed him the boards. They fixed the boards to some 6 branches.
Some birds were singing around them but they had no time to enjoy the 7 of the birds. Building a tree house was much work and lots of things were waiting for Liu Tao and his dad. They worked the whole 8. They even put a roof over the tree house so that it could keep9 in the rain. At last, they finished just before dark.
Early that night, Liu Tao asked his brother if he could borrow a sleeping bag.
"Sure," said the brother. "But 10 I go with you?"
"Of course, you can." Liu Tao smiled. Then they both ran upstairs to get ready.

Do you know the word migrate? It is a word usually used to talk about certain animals such as birds, fish and so on. When animals migrate, they travel a long way from one part of the world to another according to the season. For example, swallows (燕子) migrate south in winter. Many animals migrate - they do this often at the same time and to the same place each year. They move to places where conditions are better — where the weather is warmer, where there is more food and water, or where their young will be safer.
People also migrate. When people migrate, they go to live in another area or country, especially in order to find work. In English, when people leave their home country in order to live in another country, we use the word emigrate instead of migrate. From migrate and emigrate come the words migration and emigration. However, if people move from their home country to another to live there forever (永久地), the word changes from emigrate to immigrate in the English language. Then the word immigration is born.
Isn't word-making of the English language interesting? And can this process (过程) of finding out the relationships between words and learning them in a group or groups be a way for you to learn the language?

My name is Xue Mingwen, a middle school student. My brother is two years younger than me. He is now in Grade 6 at a primary school. Both of us like reading famous stories and we often share storybooks. Some stories are famous because people have been telling them for many years.
