Just 28years ago，Berlin was a city divided into two by the Berlin Wall．How excited people were as the Berlin Wall came down．Since then，Berlin has become one of the coolest cities in Europe．Here are the main reasons why I think Berlin is cool．

First，Berlin has cheap hotels and everyday objects （物品）．You needn't worry about spending too much money when visiting Berlin．

Second，Berlin knows how to give parties，and there is a festival here every month of the year．Perhaps the most famous is the Berlin International Film Festival （the BIFF）．

Third，Berlin has beautiful buildings of its own．The Brandenburg Gate is one of the city's most famous buildings．It's the symbol （象征） of more than 200years of history．The TV Tower is as good as the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the London Eye．

Lastly，Berlin is a city of living art．Artists can create works of art on the sides of buildings．

If you want to visit a European city with culture，cheap objects and lots of colours，Berlin is the place to be．What are you waiting for？Get to Europe's coolest city before anyone else discovers it

Using iPads to Make Learning Fun

Paper, pencil, whiteboard, textbook are the tools you need if you want to go to school. But recently, you can add another one to the list: an iPad.

Because the popular Apple tablet is not only useful for searching the Internet and watching videos, but it is also being used to make learning fun.

Scientists now know that we learn better when we are enjoying ourselves, so recently software developers have made iPad applications(應(yīng)用程序) that look like video games, but have strong educational content. One of the best examples of this new form of teaching application is Futaba, a game in which up to four children try to recognize a spinning(旋轉(zhuǎn)的) object, and then identify what it is. The game can be used to teach English, math, foreign languages, or just about anything, and students love it. Teachers can even make their own questions. The important thing is that children enjoy the game, and don't even realize how much they are learning!

So the next time you have to choose between making your child study or letting them play a game, just remember…they could do both at the same time!

Learning to deal with stress (壓力) is the key to passing any exam. If you feel nervous when taking an exam, take a deep breath (呼吸) and tell yourself to take it easy. Here are five steps to follow:

Show up on time. Arriving late might make you feel rushed and nervous, and arriving too early could give you time to sit there and worry about things.

Don’t waste time. If you see questions that you don’t know, don’t spend too much time on them. Remember you have to answer all the questions.

Handwriting, Neat (工整的) and clean handwriting is easier for the examiner (評卷人) to read.

Use up all your time. If you finish the test before the time is up, don’t just sit there. Go back over the questions, especially the ones that seem hard, and check your work.

Move on. Once an exam is over, forget about it. The best thing you can do is to go home and study for the next one.

1.______ on time. Don’t arrive too late or too early.
