BBC News on TV, radio and online often brings you stories from across the world. Today we can hear "Life in China". Have you got a story about life in China today? If you do, please put your stories here.
Wu Peng, Anhui
| I am a 14-year-old boy from a poor village in Anhui Province. Like many other left-behind children in China, I live with my grandparents now. My parents went to work in Shanghai several years ago. They call me twice a month to ask about my study. I really miss my parents and I hope I can go to school in Shanghai. I think every child needs parents' love and care. |
Cindy, Shenzhen
| I like traveling and I have traveled a lot around China. During the trip, I often find that a number of Chinese often break the rules in public. For example, when I traveled in Hong Kong this year, I saw a kid eating noodles on the underground, which was against the rules. However, the kid's mother didn't think she did wrong. Can you believe it? Let's improve our public manners. |
Mike, Shanghai
| These days, we're asked to "clear our plates" when having our meals and say no to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to finish the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we leave the classroom. |

It was 10 meters high the next day and 60 meters high on 18th November. Scientists flew there to watch. It was exciting. Smoke and fire were still rushing up. Pieces of red-hot rock were flying into the air and falling into the sea. The sea was boiling and there was a strange light in the sky. Surtsey grew and grew. Then it stopped in June 1967.It was 175 meters high and 2 kilometers long. And life was already coming to Surtsey. Plants grew. Birds came. Some scientists built a house.

One day a student was walking with a teacher and they noticed a pair of old shoes. They thought the shoes might belong to a poor farmer. The owner of the shoes was working in a field-nearby and had nearly finished his work.
The student said to the teacher, "Let's play a joke on the man. We hide his shoes, and wait to see what he will do when he cannot find them."
"My young friend," answered the teacher，''we should never make fun of others. Instead, put a coin into each shoe, and watch what will happen. "
The student did so, and hid nearby.
The farmer soon came back to get his shoes, but when he put his foot into one of his shoes and felt something hard, he found the coin.
Surprise appeared on his face. He looked at the coin, and then looked around, but no person was to be seen. He then began to put on the other shoe, but his surprise was doubled on finding the second coin. He then fell on his knees, looked up to heaven and said aloud thanks. In the thanks he spoke of his wife who was in poor health, and his children without bread.
The student stood there silent, his eyes filled with tears . "Now," said the teacher, "are you much more pleased than if you had played your joke?"
The young man replied, "You've taught me a lesson which I will never forget. I've really got the true meaning of the words that I have never understood before: It's better to give than to receive."

Now we have comfortable buses in New York. I would like to describe to you how comfortable they are. The number of the seats on a bus has been reduced(减少) from 44 to 19.
In the beginning, they just changed the normal(正常的) seats to airplane seats and took off 10 seats on the bus. However, every passenger (乘客)wanted to have a more comfortable seat on the bus when he took long distance trips by bus. Also, the bus manager wanted to get more profits (利润)，so they changed the airplane seats to sofas, and the number of the seats becomes 19.
The new buses are coming out, but the prices are going up too. The owners have many ideas which you have probably never thought about before. Now they have bus attendants (服务员)who serve water, snacks, newspapers and towels.
Also, you can change the direction of the sofas so that you can feel more comfortable, and they have a service bell on each sofa. What's more, some companies play some videos on the bus. In addition, when you take a long distance trip, they provide luxurious buses that have an LCD (液晶彩色显示器)on each seat. That is not the only surprising thing on the bus一一they also have three different video channels, and seventy TV games for killing time when you are on the bus.
In a word, we want to be more comfortable when we are on a trip. That is the reason why we have sofas on the buses. Maybe we will have beds on the buses in the future.
Everyone needs friends. They are very important because friends bring us happiness and hope in our lives. But the ability to make friends changes from person to person. To some people, making friends is not hard, and to others it's very difficult. Making friends is a skill, and the first thing is to know how to get on with others. If you have trouble in making friends, maybe I can tell you how to do it.
a)Realize your own good points. You have skills and talents(才能) that others will like.
b)Believe that you are a good person and have something nice to share with others.
c)Be humorous. Learn to laugh at yourself and your weakness. Remember to smile at others.
d)Respect(尊敬) the others. Everyone has his own idea. Learn how to listen to others' ideas without trying to make them accept yours.

f)Don't complain. Learn to accept what you can't change, and work hard to change what you can. No one is willing to hear your complaints all the time.
