Max-Being well in school is an important thing, so every school’s teachers may ____ this question, or it can affect the schools fame. But, there are many ways to let a student do well, we should teach the students “the way”.
Many schools have big problems-many bad kids. We can all think about this scene- many kids playing, running in the corridors, and may talk and laugh, even playing paper airplanes when teaching, and let the teachers mad. As many American schools, the teachers will give a punishment, mostly writing sentences. Also, there are many more problems by doing homework, like not writing, or always wrong at questions, is also a problem that can’t do well.
The only way to let the students do well in school, is to change his (hers) behavior. But students can do well in school by good grades, being quiet when teaching, no running in corridors, but the worst problem will be playing food fights at the cafeteria. As the way teachers look, first change a small problem at school, then maybe about months after, that student can do well at school.
We should change the students’ problem, but do not punish them too much. That way, we can let students do well at school.

Queen of the Bee
Queen of the Bee
Fourteen-year-old Anamika Veeramani wins the 83rd annual Scripps National Spelling Bee
By Andrea Delbanco
Stromuhr. Most people don't know what the medical word means, or how to pronounce it. But Anamika Veeramani, a 14-year-old from North Royalton, Ohio, knew how to spell it. The challenging word won Anamika a trophy and more than $40,000 in cash and prizes at the 83rd annual Scripps National Spelling Bee on Friday. Three spellers tied for second place.
A total of 273 spellers took part in the three-day competition, held in Washington, D.C. Contestants ranged in age from 8 to 15. The final rounds aired on ABC on Friday night.
V-I-C-T-O-R-Y
Anamika tied for fifth place at the Scripps Bee in 2009 and was one of the favorites at the competition this year. Anamika sat through a tense commercial break before she got the chance to spell the winning word. She kept her cool, standing still with her hands behind her back, waiting to smile until the trophy was presented to her. "I usually have a poker face," says Anamika. But she admits the spelling was stressful, and winning was surreal. "It was just really nerve-wracking," she said. "The commercial breaks didn't really help."
"This has been her dream for a very, very long time," says Anamika's father, Alagaiya Veeramani. He says his daughter studied spelling for as much as 16 hours on some days. Now, having won the top spot at Scripps, Anamika can no longer spell competitively. "I've been doing spelling for such a long time," Anamika says. "It's kind of sad." She says she wants to spend more time golfing, dancing and writing.
A Winning Streak
Anamika is the third Indian-American champion in a row. Although Indian-Americans make up less than one percent of the population of the United States, they have an impressive winning streak at spelling bees. Indian-Americans have won the top spot at Scripps in eight of the last 12 years.
"All of the past champions inspire me," Anamika says. "They're all amazing people."
Max-Spelling Bee is a great game to play, and tests players’ word spelling. This game may have a race, or you can play it yourself. Spelling Bee is one of those popular contests, and many kids to teens join the race. Spelling contests have many rounds-from about a hundred or more contestants join the first round, to the final round with only a few contestants. This game is also exciting, but also gives stress to the contestants, because if they spell wrong one word, they’re out of the contest! So maybe the contest will be splendid to watch if this contains a lot of geniuses. I know Spelling Bee contests tests not only regular words, it also tests geography! But I know, Spelling Bee Geography tests are as hard as Spelling Bee. We may also want to know what questions it will ask. As Spelling Bee, they will ask words which can’t find in the dictionary. At Geography Spelling Bee, they would ask some peculiar places, seas or some spots. Also, a great prize will be awarded for the winner of Spelling Bee. Don’t just know the race is hard, the contestants may take a few months to practice, and sometimes can’t get the champion!

The American Idol Finale
The American Idol Finale
An inside-look at this season's last two shows
By TFK Kid Reporter Claire Epting
The season nine American Idol finale was a spectacular two-day event held at the Nokia Theater, in Los Angeles, California, from May 11-12. The first night featured the singing competition between the two performers that made it to the final round: Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze. After their performances, both singers seemed tired and relieved that it all was over, and they both offered their thoughts on what the last night was like. "I'm pleased with my performances, and I had a good time, so that's what really counts," Bowersox told reporters.
DeWyze felt the same way. "I'm proud of what I did," he said. "I had a really good time doing it. Everything up to this point has been amazing. I'm really appreciative of the whole thing."
The Results Are In
The next night, it was time for the final results show. On the red carpet before the show, several former American Idol contestants gave their opinions. Michael Sarver, the tenth-place finalist last year, said: "It's tough to say, but I'm thinking Lee might have a little bit of an edge. They're both wonderful and both will no doubt have great careers, but I'm thinking Lee."
William Hung, who became an American Idol sensation on season three, had a different opinion. "I think Crystal is the favorite," he said. "They are both wonderful performers, but I still have to say that Crystal is the favorite." Hung also reflected on how being on the show had changed his life. "I went from being a regular college student to someone who is now recognized wherever I go. It is amazing."
Lilly Scott, a top 24 finalist from this season, agreed with how powerful the show is. "I can't believe how many people watch!" she said. "My life has changed so much because of it, all good. I'm touring this summer, singing, living this dream, having lots of fun." And whom did Lilly think would win? "I'm rooting for both of them," she said. "Both Crystal and Lee are my buddies, they have been since day one, so I couldn't be more proud of them, and whoever wins, I'll be happy."
Many Idol contestants from years past paraded down the red carpet, along with the two finalists from this year and judges, Simon Cowell—who was taking part in his last American Idol show—Randy Jackson, Ellen Degeneres and Kara DioGuardi. There were also appearances from many of the people who would be performing later in the evening.
At the end of the two-hour episode, host Ryan Seacrest revealed the winner. The new American Idol is: Lee DeWyze!
Everyone loves singing and dancing competitions shown on TV. Like most people in America like “American Idol”, British people like “British Got Talent”, and many more people in many more countries like other competitions. I don’t watch American Idol, but I watch “So You Think You Can Dance(or called SYTYCD in short)” on AXN. You can see many competitors dance, and good judges, but also some competitors feel sad or anger when they are being eliminated. After the Top 20, the contestants (paired) started to dance music made from some musicians, and some teachers taught them. At this competition, you can see many kinds of dance, like hip hop, tango, etc. After every episode of elimination, judges choose the champion in the Top 4, and get a quarter of a million dollars. I also like such competitions that attended in Taiwan. I especially like Super Idol, which is on the 4th season, tests the competitors’ singing and dance (if needed). In this competition, you can see a lot of great contestants that get a high score, sure, this needs singing to do this job. I know, many people get famous by competitions, like Susan Boyle. I really like this kind of show!
