Classmates jokes （2）同學(xué)“囧”事（二）

One kid in our class was so stupid that he had his address tattooed（刺青）on his forehead. That way， when he got lost he could mail himself home.

Another kid was so stupid that he had “l(fā)eft” and “right” tattooed on his toes so he would know which foot his shoes should go on. Now all he has to do is to learn how to read.

One kid in our class was really stupid. He was late for school every day because he kept trying to put his pants on over his head.

I had one friend who was very stupid. He lost his shoes one time because he put them on the wrong feet. Then he couldn’t remember whose feet he put them on.

One classmate of mine was always being kept after school. The only thing he ever learned in school was how to lock up when he left.

Having mobile phones —Yes or No

手機已成為現(xiàn)代人生活中必不可少的通信工具。無論在哪，我們都不難看見它的身影。那么，你認為中學(xué)生可以攜帶手機進入校園嗎？

More and more adults are buying and using mobile phones. They can keep in touch with their friends and relatives. But many middle school students in China are also using mobile phones at school. Should they go to school with mobile phones？ Here are different ideas.

Liu Qin， 14， Grade 7

I think this is the latest fad（時尚）. Mobile phones are the most convenient for parents and students to keep in touch with each other. Now we have lots of exercises to do every day. When we feel tired， we can listen to music， play games and relax ourselves. If we come across something interesting after class， we can also take photos with them.

Wang Tao， 15， Grade 8

Mobile phones should be forbidden（禁止）at school. Some students often play with their mobile phones in class. They can’t listen to their teachers carefully. Sometimes they spend too much time sending or receiving messages after class， so they have less time to do their exercises. This will cause their grades to become poorer and poorer.

Su Lin， 16， Grade 9

Students don’t need mobile phones at school. If we have to call our parents or friends， we can use public phones. This is a cheaper and safer way. We have no chance to send or receive dirty jokes or other unhealthy news without mobile phones. I don’t think mobile phones are good for our brain， ears and hearts.
