VIP Class Notes (Lily)[S/R]

write about “Where would you like to go for your next trip? Why?”

If something I don’t good at, I don’t want to do it. If I do it, I must do the best.

When I was 5 years old, my mother want to teach something about art. I chose drawing, acting and dancing. I still remember, I was very unhappy with dancing, so I hate dancing. But I always get high score with drawing and acting. I find if something get very high score, I will like it.

Revised:

Organic food is very popular these days. It can also be very expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food. Parents of young children, and even some pet owners, will pay high prices for organic food if they think it’s healthier. But many others think organic food is just a waste of money.

There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals such as pesticides that stop insects from damaging crops. In many countries foods that claim to be organic must have special labels that guarantee they’re grown organically.

Some people think organic also means “locally grown”, and originally this was true. But over time organic farming has become big business, with many organic foods now being grown by large agricultural companies that sell their products far from where they’re grown. Processed food made with organic ingredients has also become more popular. At first, only small companies produced these products. But as demand overtook supply, big food companies that had been selling non-organic products for many years also began selling organic products. Small organic food companies found it difficult to compete with these big companies, and many didn’t stay in business much longer.
