If you agree to pair up with me, we could meet every Friday afternoon in the school garden. Perhaps we can finish reading ten poems a month.
Looking forward to your reply.

At the Chengdu Research Base, many panda keepers take care of baby pandas. The life of pandas is recorded by those keepers to protect them better. Lin Wei, one of the panda keepers, washes, feeds and plays with them every day.
In fact, pandas are now loved by many people around the world. When a panda is born, it only weighs about 0.1 to 0.2 kilos. With time going by, the baby pandas will become much heavier. And they can live up to 20 to 30 years.
As far as I know, there are fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the forests now. Pandas don't have many babies, maybe only one every two years. The babies often die from illnesses and don't live very long. Adult pandas spend over 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago, the number of the bamboo forests and pandas in China was large. But their numbers dropped quickly because humans cut down the forests.
Luckily, people in an organization in Chengdu protect pandas from being endangered. And the Chinese government is also trying hard to help save the pandas. We all hope to succeed in protecting pandas. And there will be a lot more pandas in the future.

As we know, reading plays an important role in our life. We can get knowledge and learn many skills from books. Besides, we can develop interests through reading and make our life colorful.
There are many kinds of books we can read, such as great books, science books and even newspapers. Magazines about study are also good choices for us.
We can read books in our free time, and it's a good idea to choose a quiet place to read books, like the library. How about joining the Reading Club in our school? While reading, it's necessary to take notes. We can share them with our friends in the club.
In my opinion, reading is a lifelong journey. We can see the world in the books. Let's read together.

人与自我:身心健康
(韶华原创)When the midday nap(午睡) bell rings, Geng Xian and his classmates from Nanshan Foreign Language (Group) Kehua School in Shenzhen pull out footrests(搁脚板), recline(倚靠) on their chairs and lean back for a nap.
Since May 6, 2024, the school has introduced reclining chairs for students to nap during the lunch break. The trial run(试行) has been conducted across four grades, with over 100 sets provided for Grade 9 students.
“Before this, I could only rest at my desk for a nap, often leading to numb(麻木的) hands and a stiff(僵硬的) neck,” the 15-year-old Geng told Teens. “Now, lying down for sleep is very comfortable, just like being at home.”
For Wang Tingnuo, lying down to nap has made her more willing to rest. “I used to nap for about 20 minutes at most before we got up. Now I choose to sleep 10 to 20 minutes earlier with the reclining chair,” said the 15-year-old. She added that the longer sleep time also helps her perform better in her afternoon studies.
According to Xu Weimin, a sleep expert in Shanghai, lying down for a nap offers physical and mental benefits. “It can relax the muscles(肌肉) and improve blood flow to the brain,” Xu told Xinhua.
However, there has also been some worry about the reclining chairs. “Some students might lean back even during class, so it needs effective management(有效的管理),” Chu Peilu, an English teacher told Teens. “But in all, I think it brings more good than bad.”

(2024·东营改编)假如你校校报英语专栏正在以“Take care of yourself(照顾好自己)”为题举办征文活动,请根据以下内容要点写一篇80词左右的短文投稿。至少从两个方面给出自己的看法。
内容要点:
Take care of yourself
As students, taking care of ourselves is very important. Firstly, we should eat healthy food—more fruit and vegetables, less meat and drink enough water. Secondly, I think it's good for us to do sports often, such as walking, swimming, playing ball games and so on. Because it can build up our body. Thirdly, we must have good habits. We should get up and go to bed early every day. Remember to wash our hands before meals. Besides, we should try to keep happy every day.
Let's take good care of ourselves.
