My Birthday
March 5th is my birthday. This year I celebrated my birthday in a different way. In the morning，I got up early and cooked breakfast for my parents.

All of them hoped that I would be back again.

June 7th Tuesday Sunny
I got up late this morning. My alarm clock didn’t work. When I woke up，it was 7:10. So I washed my face quickly and ran to the bus stop without breakfast. By the time I got there，I missed the school bus because it had already gone. So I had to walk to school. Finally，when I got to school，it was already 9:10. I was late for class. When the teacher asked for my homework，I found I had left it at home. What a bad day it was!

Less Pressure，Better Life
Hello，boys and girls!
Pressure is a serious problem in today’s world. Students in our class are under too much pressure. Some students can’t get on well with their classmates，while others may worry about their exams.
I’m always under pressure，too. My parents want me to be the top student in my class. So they send me to all kinds of after-classes at weekends.
Last Monday evening，I had a talk with my mother. I told her I was not lazy. I really felt tired. I needed time to relax. My mother agreed me at last.
So in my opinion a conversation with parents is a good idea to solve the problem.
That’s all. Thank you!
