    Volleyball is very popular. Today there are more than 46 million(百万) Americans playing volleyball. About 800 million players around the world play volleyball about once a week. Do you like playing volleyball？Let's talk about it.

    Volleyball started in America. In 1895, William G. Morgan blended (融合) basketball, tennis and handball(手球) to make a game for his students. He was a teacher at the Young Men's Christian Association(基督教青年会) in Holyoke, Mass. At first, he just wanted to let the older students in his class exercise. And it was not called volleyball at that time. Now, volleyball is the second most popular sport in America.

    Chinese are also good at playing volleyball. The Chinese Women National Volleyball Team is one of the best teams in the world. They got the first place in the Olympic Games three times(1984, 2004 and 2016). In 2019, they won the Wold Cup for the fifth time.

    A neighborhood party is a great way to have fun and get to know the people in your neighborhood. And it's also the best way to bring the community (社区)together.

    Before you begin to do this, you first need to decide where to have the party. The community center is a good place for a neighborhood party. If the weather is nice, many people like to have the party outside. It could be at a park or on a street.

    Next, ask your friends and neighbors to help. Get them to tell others about the party, set up the party and clean up after the party.

    During the party, be sure to have lots of things to do. Many parties have activities for kids, such as face painting. Most parties have food and drinks. The best parties are when everyone brings something to share. That's also the special part (部分) of a neighborhood party!

    How do you study every day? You may answer it in one second: have classes at school, take notes and do homework. Feeling a little bored? There are other ways that can make learning interesting and varied. It's called digital learning.

    Digital learning is a way to help students learn by using the Internet. There are three important kinds of digital learning. Apps are computer software applications(应用). People can download them on their mobiles. The other two kinds are social networking services, including Weibo and WeChat and websites. Each one of them is like your teacher. They help you understand what you learn at school.

    Compared with traditional learning ways, digital learning has its advantages. Digital learning is varied. It covers almost every school subject. More importantly, it always offers students the newest resources(资源)to learn from.

    Digital learning is also personalized. You can choose what you like to learn. If you don't understand what you have learned at school, you can learn again through digital ways.

    However, digital learning also has disadvantages. When you use digital ways to learn, you've got little chance of talking with teachers and classmates. As digital learning uses computers or smart phones, watching the screen too long may be bad for your eyes. It is better to take a rest every 20 minutes.

    A good book can help you learn more things than you can learn in class. If you want to get into a good reading habit(习惯), here are a few ways.

    Plan your time

    You should give yourself at least thirty minutes for reading every day. When time is set, nothing can change it.

    Always carry a book

    Wherever you go, take a book with you. When you leave the house, make sure that you always carry a good book as well as your school things.

    Find a quiet place

    Find a place in your home where you can read a book quietly and no one will trouble you. There should be no television, computer, music or even noisy family members around you.

    More people like Living in a city now, especially young people who like new and modern things. Most people think it is much       (容易)to find work in a city .

When they feel tired, they can eat in good restaurants, visit museums, go to cinemas and go to parks.

          (然而), in my opinion, living in the city will       (花费) more. What's more, the       (人口) of the city is getting bigger and bigger. So it's a       (遗憾)that the city is always       (拥挤的), noisy and dirty. And It is very difficult to find a good place where people can enjoy       (和平)and fresh air. So We should       (改善)the serious situation.
