High school students in England do much the same as those in America or any other country do. They enjoy using the Internet, telephoning their friends, going travelling, listening to music, watching movies on TV or at the cinema.
However, a new study shows that 15-year-olds in England have more fights than those in Canada, Australia and China. This has to do with how they spend their free time. In England, for example, 45% of 15-year-olds spend most evenings out with their friends. And in Canada, the number is 24%. In China, just 17% of 15-year-olds spend their free time in the same way. And in Australia, 15% of 15-year-olds spend their evenings out with their friends.
Another new study shows that the Internet is English students' favorite hobby. They spend about 31 hours a week online. One in four students of the 1,000 polled (接受民意测试的）said they often spoke to those they didn't know online and one in three said they tried to hide(藏）what they were looking at if a parent went into the room. But the study also shows that children also use Internet to help them with their homework. They spend at least three hours a week finding information.

Denny and Mark went to Sun Mountain with their class last week. The first day was great. Everyone enjoyed snowball fights. The next day was very cold and no one wanted to go out. "I'll not spend the day inside!" said Mark. He and Denny went out together.
By noon the boys went into the forest. They had a walk happily, but they lost their way. Before they could find the way, snow began to fall heavily. They were very afraid.
"We have to stay here," said Denny. "They'll find we aren't there and come for us."
"Looking up at the trees, Mark said, "I read a story once-some people stopped by a heavy snow made a lean-to（单坡屋顶小房）to protect themselves. Will it work?"
"I think so," said Denny, "but we'd better be quick."
The two boys worked quickly to make a lean-to out of branches（树枝）. Then they went inside. It grew dark. A cold wind blew through the lean-to. "I don't want to die here," Mark said in the dark.
"We're not going to die!" said Denny. But he wasn't so sure. Then he heard some shouting. The boys went out of their lean-to just as a few people got here.
"Here you are!" Mr. Jenkins, their headmaster, said excitedly. "We saw the lean-to and thought it might be you," he said. "Are you OK?"
"We're fine," said Mark. Everyone laughed.

My name is Ann. I would like to share my volunteering experience in Sue Ryder. I worked as a volunteer in 2013 because I wanted to do something to help others. I called some charity shops（慈善商店）to ask if they needed volunteers. Although I didn't mind where I volunteered, I was glad that one of the Sue Ryder shops said yes. Sue Ryder was a charity very close to my heart because volunteers from Sue Ryder once cared for my dad in the hospital.
Volunteering in the shop helped me know what shop work was like and I was surprised to find how much I really enjoyed doing it. I also found how important the public（民众）were. Lots of people gave us things they didn't need for the shops to sell. In this way Sue Ryder raised money to care for people with life-changing illness. I always left the charity shop late, because I knew how important the work of Sue Ryder was.
Another thing I enjoyed about volunteering was talking with other volunteers in the shop. They were friendly and helpful. I really improved my teamwork skills by volunteering.
I worked in the shop from late April to early August. I learned many things from it and I'm sure they will be useful in the future.
