Winter is my favourite season. It is very cold and everyone has to wear thick warm clothes, but I always enjoy the winter here in Harbin. The temperature is usually below zero and it is often snowy. Everything is covered in deep white snow, and the lakes and rivers are frozen. During this season, you cannot see beautiful flowers or green trees, but the land is quiet and beautiful. My friends and I love playing outside in winter. It is exciting to have big snowball fights. We also make snowmen

and use carrots for their noses. They look funny. Winter is great. 16．全新题

All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea.

In China people like to have tea together with their friends. They drink tea at any time of the day. They put only tea leaves in their cups. They prefer tea with nothing in it.

Tea is also popular in Japan. People have tea every day. But the way they drink it is different from that in China.

In the USA people drink tea at breakfast or after meals. They usually use tea bags to make their tea.\18.全新题

Many young people are now giving up their spare time to become volunteers. It is a very meaningful activity because volunteering helps and gives support to different groups in society.

Young people can choose to volunteer in many different charities and projects. For example, I do voluntary work for two charities: the first one gives help and support to homeless people, and the second one takes care of the disabled people.

Another choice is to take part in special projects or events to raise money for charity. Some people take part in charity walks, or they donate money to charities. You can even organize one of these events yourself. 19. 去年第 17 题

We need to do something for giant pandas. They're now in danger. For example, giant pandas do not have many babies during their lives, and it's easy for baby pandas to get sick and die when they are very young. Also, giant pandas mainly live on a special kind of bamboo, so the bamboo forests are very important to them. However, the bamboo forests are becoming smaller and smaller. As a result, giant pandas may not have a place to live or food to eat. There are now only about 1600 pandas in the wild. We should take action to protect them right away.

My dream home is at the foot of a hill. It has three floors. There is a football field behind my house and a swimming pool beside it.

There is a kitchen and a home cinema on the ground floor. The kitchen is very clean. There is always more than enough food there. The cinema has a large TV. I would like to invite my friends to watch films with me at the weekend.

Thank you very much for your letter. I hope I can offer you some useful advice.

You said you often stay up late to finish all your homework. Plan your day carefully. Make a list of all the homework you have. Then work out how much time you need to finish it all. This will give you an idea of how much spare time you have.

You also said that you do not have enough time for your hobbies. What about choosing your hobby according to the time you have? I hope you think my advice is worth taking. Best wishes,
