You rub (擦) and rub your eyes, but they won’t stop itching (痒). When you look in the mirror (镜子), they are red. What’s going on? Do you have a strange illness? No, you have just a usual problem called conjunctivitis (红眼病). It’s also called pinkeye.
Pinkeye often happens among children. It can bring redness, itching, and a clear or white, yellow, or green liquid (液体) to collect in the eyes.
It’s called pinkeye because the white part of the eye becomes red or pink when you have it. Pinkeye may start in one eye, but many people get it in both eyes at the same time. It usually doesn’t hurt, but itching can trouble you. Sometimes it feels like that you have something in your eyes and can’t get it out.
Grown-ups, especially parents and teachers who spend a lot of time with children, can get pinkeye too. Pinkeye lasts a short time, usually about a week or less, and then goes away by itself.

Good afternoon, class.
Many students like getting online very much. They think on the Internet they can get some information, play some educational games and these games help them learn a lot. They can also make friends online.
But there is also something bad getting online. It takes students too much time, so they do worse in their lessons. Spending too much time online is also bad for their health. I don’t think they should spend too much time getting online. I think they should put their hearts into their studies.
