1．A lot of people enjoy doing the shopping through the Internet now.Why is it so popular？There are some reasons.First，more and more people have their own computers and mobile phones，and they can be joined with the Internet.So it is possible for many of them to do shopping through the Internet.Second，shopping through the Internet can save them some money and a lot of time.Third，they don't need to go to the shop themselves.Because of these good facts，few people refuse it.On the other hand，some people don't like this new way of shopping.They are worried about the safety（安全）of shopping online.Customers can only see the pictures of products on the Internet.And they can't enjoy the pleasure of buying things in large supermarkets or some wonderful stores.These are the reasons why they do not like it.
   But I think more and more people will like this new kind of shopping in the future.

2．Yesterday I heard a talk about TV and the Internet on the radio.Most guests thought that with the rise of the Internet，TV was becoming less and less important in our lives.But I couldn't completely agree with them.
   All guests in that talk said that many programs were not good enough.It is true that many channels（頻道） offer nothing more than reruns or low-cost programs.However，I would say that many programs on the Internet also need to be improved.I agree to their idea that it is easy to keep up-to-date with the latest news on the Internet，but I'm sure most of us still enjoy sitting down to watch the news on TV in the evening just as much.
   Also，some guests said that the Internet was a great tool for research and I think this is the main advantage（優(yōu)勢(shì)）of it.I agree that programs on TV are made mainly for entertainment rather than for research.But criticizing TV for not being as good as the Internet is unfair.People will continue to love watching TV.It is still the main way most of us get our entertainment at home.Thanks to some well-made programs，it can bring the whole nation and all ages together in a way the Internet never could!

3．There is a big change in Emma's classroom.The desks are no longer in rows，but pushed together to make eight bigger desks.Let us listen to what students and teachers think of it.
   Emma：I was so excited about it for the first two days that I couldn't listen to the teachers carefully.But soon my classmates and I got used to this new classroom arrangement（安排）.Now our class is quieter.What's more，we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion.It's a better way to study.
   David：I like it，too.Group members first discuss，and then show to the whole class.It encourages us greatly.
   Linda，an English teacher：This is part of a reform（改革） in our school.The school made this reform because we want to offer students easier ways to study and more chances to discuss.Our school hopes to improve students' abilities to study by themselves and work in examples.
   Steven，the school master：The reform has demanded（要求） more from teachers.Now they have only 15 minutes to give a lesson that would have been taught in 40 minutes before.It is difficult to teach in such a short time.The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively（有效地）.The reform demands more，but I'm sure it is helpful.
