Bowling lets us  escape from  pressure of school and just enjoy ourselves , they say.The only proper leisure activity for me is sport, football, in particular.I am both  a player and a fan .

Nowadays people seem crazy about having a healthy lifestyle.

I guess a few simple changes to your life can really help the environment.For example:we can avoid wasting water by turning the tap off while brushing teeth.It is more economical to fill the sink for washing up rather than leaving the tap runing.Then,we can stop creating so much rubbish if we recycle as much as possible.So,people can do their bit for the environment.      1.Which is the biggest threat to your local envtronment ?(What is your opinion?) 2.Do you turn the tap off while brushing teeth?3.What do you do to help the environment?       1Do you throw much rubbish? 2.

19.English is more widely spoken and written than any other languages has ever been , it has become the language of the planet .Will it remain an international language in the future ?

English is the language of the planet. English is an international language because millions of people all over the world speak it as a mother tongue. Second, English is the main language of business, of sports, the language of computers and the world's mail. However, there are opponents of this view who believe that Chinese will be the language of international communication because China is becoming the country of great opportunity. Besides, to speak Chinese is Top Fashion today. I don't agree with them because Chinese is more difficult to learn than English. So English will remain the language of international communication.                                                                                            1.Will Chinese become the language of international communication? 2.Is Chinese really Top Fashion today? 3.Is Chinese the most difficult language in the world?                                                             1.How many people speak English as a mother tongue ?2.Is China a country of great opportunity?3.To speak Russian is Top Fashion today ,isn`t it?
