       Good morning,boys and girl. Today I’11 talk about going online.

       We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also we can send emails to our friends in a quicker way. It can help us contact (聯(lián)絡(luò)，聯(lián)系) people from all over the world.

       But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online. They write letters to each other too often. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don^, t study well any more.

       I think we mustn ’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or

winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.

       At the same time,if we have lots of free time,we can do some activities after class. We usually have activities from 4 ：50 to 5 ：50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school ? such as drawing ? singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.

                                Don ’ t rest on your laurels 

         Have you ever heard the saying “ Don ’ t rest on your laurels ” ？ “Laurels ” means the achievements you have already got. The saying suggests that you shouldn ^, t be so satisfied with your achievements that you ’11 no longer try to improve.

         As to this saying,Mike Perham has set us a good example. Bom in 1992 in

Hertfordshire,England,Mike was just 14 when he became the youngest person to sail across the Atlantic Ocean. You might think the achievements are good enough,but Mike doesn ^, t think so. At the age of 17 ? he became the youngest person to sail all by himself around the world on a nine-month voyage (航海) .

         Mike is now 19 ? and he is still trying his best to break the records and push himself further. For his next adventure,he plans to fly around the world on his own,making him the first person of all ages to both sail and fly around the world.

         Mike wants his achievements to encourage young people to realize their dreams. Since his adventures? he has travelled widely,speaking at schools and youth clubs in the UK,Hong Kong and Australia on the theme of “Live the Pream”.

Amazing facts：

         Mike started sailing when he was seven.

         His trans-Atlantic crossing began at Gibraltar and ended in Antigua.

         His round-the-world yacht (游艇) was called TotallyMoney. com.
