Some children are always addicted to it So we should choose some good programs to watch, especially for childrenAdults and children learnwhat is different about how adults and children learn?There is a debate about whether learning should be carried on when they are children.Some people think that it is fine for a child to learn when he is still young, because he has pretty memory at his young. but children’s learning are from their interests. And they always imitate the things which they watch on TV.But the others hold another opinion. They think it would harmful for a child to learn too early, because it is too difficult for children to think or understand, which will bring bad effect on their growing up.In fact adults can learn better than children because of their experience.

Because there are a lot of planets and stars in the galaxy, and there are at least 100 billion galaxies in the universe. Secondly there is oxygen in another planet's atmosphere. it shows that these planets would be biological activity. In addition until recently, scientists found that there is ice on the Mars, and the water is a source of life. Maybe other intelligent beings will send message on radio signals because the signals travel quickly and have a long range, and some scientists listen for a signal from space. so I think on other planets there will be intelligent life.Do the right thingAs we all know, Lies have been recognized as cheating and false and liars are often be contempt[kənˈtempt]. But on certain occasions，we simply cannot tell the truth and have to lie with good intentions. In most time telling a white lie is better than tell the truth.However, sometimes we need lies in real life, because a white lie can give one comfort and encouragement.

For example, a women is dying.She has a lot of money, but she has no family. She tells a friend to spend all her money on a very expensive funerals[ˈfju:nərəl].But he give most of it to a school for homeless children. And I think make use of the money to help people is the right way.In a word, Although the honesty is a good virtue[ˈvɜ:rtʃu:], Sometimes the white lies are more suitable than the truth.A good night’s sleepDuring one’s life, there are more and more one-third of the time is spent in sleeping.

My friend was good at swimming, but I was not do well in it. So my friend swam to the river bank immediately and was shouting and asking someone to help. After that, the most impressive thing happened which was an old men that jump into the river without thinking, swum to the place where I was, and got me out of the river.
