It’s one way for a weasel (黄鼠狼) to get around: taking a ride on the back of a woodpecker (啄木鸟) . In fact, the picture shows the bird’s fight life after the flesh-eating weasel jumped onto its back and attacked it. The extraordinary picture was taken by Martin Le-May, an amateur
(photograph) who was out walking with his wife in Hornchurch Country Park, Essex.
“As we walked we heard a painful noise and I saw the flash of green,” said Mr Le-May, 52. “We trained our telescope and it occurred that the woodpecker was （natural） jumping about like it was standing
a hot surface. The bird was about 50m away from us and took off just as I lifted the camera up. Originally, I
(think) I was just taking
picture of a green woodpecker flying. Then I realized it had
on its back. Suddenly it was obvious it had a small creature on its back and this was a struggle for life.”
The bird was around two meters off the ground when Mr. Le-May caught it on camera. Happily, it managed (shake) off the weasel and fly up into the trees.
The picture became a hot topic when it was circulated on social media, with some Twitter users (say) it could not be real.

necessary. Actually , only proper amount of homework in proper form is

might be some extensive reading, a paper, or even just a game, as well as other ordinary exercise. And it should leave enough
(free) to the students so that they could do things they really like to do with self-motivation, rather than unwillingness. We should always remember that homework is something for us to guide the students, rather than
(drive) them. Only if a teacher
(keep) this
his/her mind, the homework could be of most help to the students.
