________
Tip 1 Use clever names. Well, quite ften Shakespeare gives infrmatin abut what a persn in a play is like thrugh their names. Fr example, Rme’s name means a persn being rmantic and kind. Benvli can be nice and friendly. Falstaff is a character in Henry IV and he is lazy and funny. Nw think what yu can call a persn in a play wh is angry and ht-tempered all the time? Yes. Maybe Rage r Fury.

Hw can I express my ideas and feelings in a way full f life?
Tip 2 Try metaphrs. Shakespeare was a fan f metaphrs. A metaphr is a way f cmparing ne thing with smething else t shw ideas, feelings, places and mre. And the tw things usually have the same qualities. In the play As Yu Like It, he writes, “________” What d yu think f the metaphr in this sentence?

What shuld I d if I can’t find a prper wrd?
Tip 3 ________. Eyeball. Lnely. Unreal... All these were created by Shakespeare. If yu have an idea that yu can’t think f a wrd fr, be like Shakespeare and create yur wn. If yu want t create wrds that mean smething and may stand the test f time, try creating wrds like this: breakfast + lunch = brunch. And yu can start with making up wrds fr everyday things in yur hme.

Meet Cherry Female
Hi, my name is Cherry. I’m a very pretty ten-mnth-ld GermanShepherd dg.
I was given t my frmer (之前的) wner as a birthday gift by a friend f his when I was a puppy. My wner lved me very much. I was allwed t curl (蜷缩) up next t him n the sfa while we watched ur favurite TV shws. When he drpped me ff, he said, “Thank yu fr being there fr me. I’m srry that I can‘’t be there fr yu anymre.” I didn’t understand why my dad had t leave me. I’m an energetic girl wh likes getting lts f physical exercise. I may be mst suitable fr a hme with lder kids.
Human-like friendsRbts will be mre like humans bth in their lks and abilities. These rbts will serve as greeters, waiters and cmpanins f the elderly. Eln Musk’s cmpany is wrking hard n making human-like rbts that will wrk in ur hme. Mre AI systems will play rles-in areas like health care and scientific research.
Prtecting the earthOne f the mst difficult challenges the wrld faces tday is reducing carbn emissins. This year we can expect mre prgress in green hydrgen, a new clean energy with near-zer greenhuse gas emissins. Scientists will als have a safer way t deal with nuclear waste. The used nuclear fuel will be buried 400 meters undergrund.
Space and beyndThe images frm the wrld’s largest and mst pwerful space telescpe—the James Webb Space Telescpe—have amazed the wrld. And the Euclid Space Telescpe will be launched. It will take phts t create a 3D map f the universe. China will cntinue t build the Xinjiang Qitai Radi Telescpe. It will be able t watch 75% f the stars in the sky at any given time.
Staying cnnectedPeple will cmmunicate mre smthly. In China, the Beidu Navigatin Satellite System can nw be directly cnnected t mbile phnes. We can find where the phnes are even when there’s n signal. A US cmpany is als wrking n a direct cnnectin between phnes and satellites. The impact f 5G will cntinue t grw.
Using ‘fake’ animals t free real nesHlgram (投影) Z in Australia is the wrld’s first z t use hlgram technlgy t shw animals, Visitrs dn’t see real animals like bears r elephants. They see mre than 50 animals created by hlgram technlgy. The z nt nly prvides a new z experience, but can als free real animals frm their cages. T bring dwn the cst, Bruce, CEO f Hlgram Z, built his factry where he wrked n hlgram technlgy.
A special sleeping pillSleeping prblems are cmmn in ur stressful wrld. Many peple use sleeping pills t get enugh sleep. But they can be bad fr ur health. Here’s a “pill” that helps yu fall asleep quickly withut any side effects. It’s called “The Chill Pill”. It is nt a pill but a small tl that yu can hld in yur hand. It sends ut little electric pulses (电子脉冲) that can relax yur brain and lwer yur stress levels. When yu hld it, yu will feel relaxed and fall asleep quickly.
The easiest t repairLast year, arund 5.3 billin mbile phnes became waste. This created a need fr phnes that can be fixed easily instead f being thrwn away. The newest phne called the G22, is the mst advanced phne that can be easily repaired. If the screen breaks r the battery dies, anyne wh has a small screwdriver (螺丝刀) and five minutes can put in a new ne. This saves users a lt f time waiting fr repair and keeps the phne frm becming a waste.
Prtecting the warming planet with AI’s helpMethane Emissins (甲烷排放) are bad fr Earth. They are a big reasn fr climate change. Hwever, neither human eyes nr mst satellites in space can see the emissins, s they are difficult t lcate. A team f scientists develped a new AI-pwered tl, They gave the AI 167, 825 satellite images (图像). It has nw “learned” t find methane emissin. With AI, scientists can get t knw sme f the strngest emissin areas mre quickly.
