This idea was to help people living in cities who did not have land to grow vegetables. And now it is
becoming more and more popular in many other countries.
To build a rooftop garden, four things are necessary. You need a roof strong enough and four pieces of
wood to build a box, and also you need grass cuttings in which to plant your garden and a thin piece of plastic
on which to put the cut grass.
Begin by testing your roof to make sure it is strong enough. Cut and collect some grass. Cover the roof
with a thin piece of plastic. Then you build a box from the four pieces of wood. The box has no top or
bottom. It should be about 8cm deep. It can be as long and as wide as needed. Put the box on the plastic.
Then fill in with the cut grass. Water the grass and push it down by walking on it. After about three weeks,
the rooftop box is ready for planting.
Put the seeds (种子) directly into the wet grass. It is important that the grass is kept wet until the plants
begin to grow. When the plants are growing, you will need to water them every day unless it rains. And birds
must be prevented from eating the seeds or new plants. They will also need some liquid fertilizer (液体化肥).
You can make your own liquid fertilizer if you can get waste (粪便) from chickens. Put the chicken waste in
a cloth bag. Then put the bag in a big container (容器) of water. After about one week, the water becomes a
good liquid fertilizer.
The rooftop garden is a good place to grow peas, tomatoes and onions. If the box is deep enough, potatoes
and carrots will also grow.

uniforms every day. The problem is that all the students think the uniforms are 1 . They think young
people should look smart and so they would like to 2 their own clothes. Their teachers believe that if
they did that, they would think more of their clothes than their 3 . But the students disagree. They
would 4 more comfortable and that is good for studying. If they can"t do that, they should be allowed
to design their own uniforms. That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students happy. It"s
also probably a good idea for parents to allow teenagers to study in groups during the evening. Sometimes
they get noisy 5 they can learn a lot from each other. They also think that vacations should be 6 . At
present they"re too short. Longer vacations would give them time to do things like volunteering. Last summer
they had an 7 to volunteer at the local 8 , but they couldn"t because they had to 9 to school. It
would be a good experience 10 them because some of them want to be doctors when they grow up.

| Some things can carry messages, for example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. Signs on the door tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate on many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell about beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TVs, radios and films all help us to communicate with others. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about. | |||

| The Guidance Department (教导处) at Berryville High School has a staff (员工) of eleven teachers. Most of their work is done with the students. But the staff sees a lot of parents, too.  "parents meetings make clear monthly diagram (图表)," says Mildred Foreman, head of the Guidance. "This diagram stays much the same from year to year. The busy months are October, March and May." September, the beginning of a new school year, starts rather slowly. Few parents come in. Most of them want to talk about the schedules (日程安排). October brings many problems caused by some students. Some parents are called in. Others come by themselves. Things quiet down in November. December is a quiet month. "It"s the holiday," Ms Foreman says. "people want to come in, I know, but they decide to wait until after New Year"s Day." Report cards go home just before Christmas holidays. Bad marks (分数) bring parents in as school opens again. This happens again in March, another report card month. May is always the year"s busiest month. That"s when parents begin to think that their children may be asked to stay in the same grade again. They come in to see if anything can be done before things are decided in June. | |||
