Our world is full of rules. Everyone needs to obey them. But      your idea about your school rules? Now many students like to talk about the rules that they have      . At their school, they      wear uniforms every day. The problem is that all the students think the uniforms are        . They think young people should look smart and so they would like to wear their own clothes.      , their teachers believe that if they did that, they would think       of their clothes than their study.       the students disagree. They would feel more comfortable and that is good for      . If they can’t do that, they        design their own uniforms. That would be a good way to      both teachers and students happy.
It’s also probably a good idea for parents to allow teenagers to study in groups during the evening.  Although they get        sometimes, they can learn a lot from each other. They also think that vacations should be longer. At present they’re too      . Longer vacations would give them time to do things like volunteering. On Friday afternoons, many students are sleepy after a long week of classes. They think it’s better to have Friday afternoons        to volunteer and help others.        , it is helpful for students to go to an old people’s home to sing and perform a play for them. It will help them understand the meaning of love. It’s also better to volunteer at the local hospital. It would be a good         for them because some of them want to be doctors when they grow up.

Rita stepped into the cool, moving water. She pushed a black inner tube in front of her. She had a worried look on her face because she had never floated down a river before.
“Let me hold your tube while you climb on,” said her father. He smiled at her. “There’s not a cloud in the sky. It’s a great day to be in the river, isn’t it?”
Rita looked out across the water. People were floating by on tubes. Some talked and laughed as they floated easily down the river. Others leaned back with hats pulled over their faces. None of them looked terrified.
“We’ll stay together,” said Rita’s father. “I’ll hold on to your rope.”
“Will we go very fast?” Rita asked.
