The students and teachers at Fairfield School think it’s necessary to look after the environment! This is what they’ve been doing：
Growing vegetables
Fairfield School students have their own vegetable garden. Both children and teachers plant and water the seeds (种子), then they pick the vegetables. And the vegetables are used in school meals. Now they can enjoy healthy food at lunchtime. “School meals are tastier than ever before!” says one pupil.
Recycling
The students don’t just bring their books to school ----- they bring their rubbish(垃圾) too! There are recycling bins (回收箱) in the playground for cans, plastic bottles, batteries and paper. The teachers give a prize to the student who works hardest to recycle every month.
Planting trees
‘This used to be one of the least beautiful areas of the city with no green areas,’ says the head teacher Lynne Johnson. ‘Now every child has planted their own tree, which he or she looks after during the week. They’ve made the view from the classroom more beautiful!’
Finding cleaner ways to get around
Everyone walks or rides to Fairfield School. “When the roads are busy, it’s faster to ride bikes than to go by car anyway,” says one student. Even the teachers don’t use their cars. “We can’t encourage our students to look after the environment if we don’t do it ourselves!” says one teacher.

Do you know the phrase “Weibo Addicts” (微博控)? Do you write a Weibo? If you don’t, you are “out”!
Weibo means microblog. People may spend much time writing a blog, but it takes a little time to write a microblog. Why? Because every message on a microblog is less than 140 words.
Microblog started in the USA. It came to China in 2009 and it grows very fast. In 2011, the number of Chinese micro-bloggers grew to 300 million. People write microblogs for many reasons. For many microblog users, it is a great way of learning the freshest news, talking with friends and sharing different kinds of information, including news, everyday life, pictures, music, videos and so on.
It is easy and fast to send a message on a microblog. However, this can also bring problems and even panic (恐慌). For example, when the big earthquake and tsunami (海啸) hit Japan in March, 2011, messages like “Salt can help people fight radiation (辐射)” were hot on microblogs. Then a crazy buying of salt followed. Later people knew it was just a rumor (谣言).
In a word, microblog plays a new part in the life of Chinese people.
