The children grow vegetables and take care of animals, but they are not playing “Farmville(開心農(nóng)場)” online. Students at Gateway International School have started farming a small piece of land in the school. The students in the school are from different countries, such as Malaysia and the Philippines.

“To make the children selfreliant and develop friendship between children from different countries, we asked them to grow vegetables. They were excited about the idea,” said Grace Alwyn, the head teacher of the school. “They give part of the harvest to us and we cook it for them. We are planning to ask the parents to buy the vegetables planted by the children. This will also teach them the importance of money.”

The students are also encouraged to keep pets. They feed the animals in the morning and check on them through the day. It's a good way for them to learn to be responsible.

Pritesh, a student in Grade 8, said, “I understand how farmers work. As we grow the vegetables ourselves, we don't feel like wasting them. It is a very interesting hobby.”

A parent said happily, “Through farming, they are learning to love the environment. They will learn a lot from these activities.”

Rosalie Atkins is an English girl. Her home is 200 miles away from her school. She always goes to school alone. It usually takes her three and a half hours by train. Rosalie isn't worried about it. Here she gives other kids some advice on having a journey alone.

1.. When planning a journey, allow plenty of time for everything. For example, if you have a journey by train, you must make sure you have a lot of time to get to the station.

2.. Make sure you know when your train will get in and which platform(站臺) you should come to. Her elder brother looks all those up on the Internet for her before her journey.

3.. It is very useful to have a list when you are going on a journey. When you leave your house, make sure you have everything. Before you get off the train, check again.

4.. If something does go wrong, please don't get into a panic(恐慌). Stay calm and call someone up at home who can tell you what to do.

5.. If it is your first journey alone, it is always a good idea to stay in contact(聯(lián)系) with your family. If something goes wrong, you can tell your family.
