In Britain, people have a strange hobby. When there’s a Bank Holiday (法定假期) weekend, a certain kind of shop always gets very b1. , and it’s not what you might think — a clothes shop or a music shop. Many people go to DIY stores and garden centers instead of r2.at home.
Doing DIY is very popular in Britain and there are lots of TV programmes which show people h3. to do DIY projects. Some people just do some simple decorating — putting up wallpaper and painting walls. But there are all kinds of DIY projects that some people d4.to do, for example, putting in a new shower.

Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact, we are maybe 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.
Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live a comfortable life. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, expensive school things, and often a thousand-yuan-cost bike. They think that they have done everything that they can for their children. In return, they only want their children to get good results in the examinations.
But why their children still can’t understand them? Does it mean that they still want more material things? No. As a matter of fact, what they want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation ( 安 慰 ), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family.
So I think that parents should save their money and sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family, so the children and their parents could understand each other more and more. Then, no children will be regarded as little ones.

Why is music an important subject that every child should study?
First of all, music helps us when we are unhappy, and gives us pleasure when we are happy. There are many different types of music: slow and fast, serious and relaxing. We can choose the music to match our feelings. And second, music is fun. People enjoy playing drums (鼓) and using their energy!
Scientists say that music helps children with language learning. Singing simple songs is good for young children. Music improves the ear — and we know that children who have studied music can learn foreign languages more easily and pronounce (发音) them much better. Students who have learnt to play music are also better at maths. This is not surprising, as music is mathematical, with notes in order. Playing music with other people also teaches children to work together. People who can play musical instruments ( 乐 器 ) always have something they can do at a party. Older children who play in school orchestras (管弦乐队) enjoy school more and do not drop out of school early.
You need a lot of practice to play an instrument, and it can be difficult to ask your child to spend hours at the piano or playing the guitar. So music practice should be a daily habit — for example, every day after school, but do not make the practice too long.
Parents should listen to their children playing and tell them that they enjoy it. Practice should also be fun. It is also a good idea to finish the practice with a piece of music the child likes, and so learning music will be a pleasant (愉快的) part of the day.
