I was jogging with my dog this morning when I saw John at a street corner. He was sitting on a bike with one of his feet on the ground. “He’s waiting for someone,” I thought. John and I were both in the ninth grade. He was a basketball player on our school team and was very popular with many girls. But I never talked to him before. He was not my type.
John saw me, too. He smiled. For a moment I thought he was smiling at someone else. But he was not. “Hi, Mary,” he said to me. “You have a cute little dog.” I smiled but did not say anything, because I did not know what to say. “I’m here waiting for you. Would you ... would you like to go to the movies with me? “ he asked. I was very surprised. I never thought he would do this, and I never thought about going out with him.
I said “No”, of course. But he seemed nice and friendly. Maybe I would go to watch him play
basketball someday.

We all do it. We all need it. Most of us need to do it for seven to nine hours a night, It is of course sleep. Many scientists believe that an average adult should get eight hours sleep per night. However, some people can live without feeling sleepy after as little as six hours of sleep. Yet, other people need about ten hours a night. Newborn babies usually sleep between 14 to 17 hours a day. Usually they only stay awake for one to three hours.
Do you take a nap in the day? Some adults and children need to nap. This just depends on the person. One thing scientists have learned is that man is the only mammal that stops himself from going to sleep. This can be bad for our bodies in many ways. Scientists believe not sleeping enough can make us eat more and put on weight. That’s right! A hormone called leptin falls when we don’t sleep enough and this makes us hungrier. Hopefully you are a good sleeper and get a good night’s rest tonight!

Kelly is a very special student in my class. Her father is an American, and her mother is a Chinese from Hong Kong. Kelly was born in New York and finished elementary school there. Then the family decided to move to Taiwan because Kelly’s father found a new job in Taipei. Kelly could speak only English, but her parents did not send her to a special school for foreign children. They wanted her to study in a regular junior high school and to make friends with the local students.
Kelly has to work very hard at school. English is easy for her, of course. Math is OK, too. But Chinese and history are big headaches for her because she cannot read the books in Chinese. She often comes to me, her English teacher, to ask questions about Chinese and history. She is trying very hard, and I believe she will do well in Taiwan.
