In our life, we always meet somebody or something that makes us excited, happy or sad. Now let me share 1 funny experience with you.
I was at the train station last year. I was waiting 2 my train to Berlin. I had nothing to do, so I walked around the shop and admired 3in the shops .I enjoyed 4there. Suddenly, I wanted to go to the bathroom. I searched for it, 5I couldn't find it .I had to ask other people where it was. To my surprise, those people I asked didn't understand 6at all. They all told me the restroom was over there. I felt very surprised, and I had to ask7people. I needed to use a bathroom, but why did they tell me to have a rest in a restroom? I wanted to cry. I needed a bathroom, not a restroom. After half an hour, I still8find the bathroom. I gave up.
I felt tired of all this walking. I decided that maybe they were right and I did need to rest so I walked to the restroom. Now I was9, because I realized the restroom was actually the name for a public bathroom! How I wish I could have known 10 meaning of "bathroom" before.
A teacher was giving a talk to his students on stress management. He raised a glass of water and asked them, "How 1 do you think this glass of water is?" The students began to think and 2. Their answers were different, from 20g to 450g. "It does not matter on the real 3. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a 4, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, I will have to call a doctor. It is the exact same weight, but the 5 I hold it, the heavier it becomes. What we have to do is to put the glass 6, rest for a while and then hold it up again. " "If we carry our burdens (负担) all the time, we will not be able to 7. The burden will become increasingly heavier. We have to put down the burden every now and then, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on." So 8 you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. 9 burdens you have, let them down for a moment if you can. And learn to 10 yourselves. Life is short but amazing, cherish every day and make it full!

Mandy: Is it ever OK to lie to a child? My 8-year-old son likes playing soccer, but he's not very good at it. Yesterday he played badly on the school team. When he finished the game he asked me, "Am I a bad player?" I said, "Of course not! You've played well!" Did I do the right thing? |
|
Emma: Yes, you did the right thing. White lies are a necessary part of life. Sometimes you have to tell lies that hurt nobody. You just wanted to make him feel good. |
|
Bobo @ Emma: I don't think there is ever a good reason to lie to our children. Children learn honesty from the examples they see. As the first teachers, we parents should always be honest in order to teach our children to be honest, too. If you keep hiding truth(真相) from them and they find the fact in the future, they will not believe you anymore. I believe honesty is the first step to a good parent-child relationship. |
|
Ruby: You lied to make your son feel better, but you missed a good chance to teach him how to face difficulties in our life. People should work hard for what they want. Maybe next time you can say, "Sorry, dear, I'm afraid not. But we can practice more, because great soccer players practice a lot." 'The truth will make him stronger. |
|
Alex @ Ruby: Agree. Parents should be honest to their children. Yet, sometimes we don't need to be so direct. Or we can let our kid talk about his feeling first. If I were you @ Mandy, I would ask my son "What do you think?" first. Then he will tell you his thoughts. In that way, everything you say is true, and you can also avoid hurting him. |
The Mid-Autumn Festival has a history of 2,000 years. During these 2,000 years, lots of Mid-Autumn traditions have been thought up by Chinese people. All the celebrations show the happiness and excitement of people.
The main celebrations during the Mid-Autumn Festival are appreciating the moon, eating mooncakes together and making Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns. These three celebrations have been passed from generation to generation. Chinese people may think the Mid-Autumn Festival is not coming if they don't do these three things.
In some places in China, people celebrate the festival in different ways. In Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, people eat taro (芋头) to celebrate the festival because the taro harvest occurs at the same time as the festival. They eat taro and hope the harvest is good in the next year. In Nanjing, people cook duck with sweet-scented osmanthus (桂花), because Nanjing people think sweet-scented osmanthus is a symbol of peace. In some places, people make fires inside towers to celebrate the festival because they think the fire is a symbol of good business.
In the literary history of China, many poets penned praise to the pure moon of Mid-Autumn night and gave words to their delicate feelings. The following is one of the best of those poems.
Thoughts in the Silent Night
—-Li Bai
The moon light is shining through the window,
And it makes me wonder if it is the frost on the ground,
Looking up to see the moon,
Looking down I miss so much about my hometown.
Li Bai used his lines to express his homesickness at the Moon Festival.

Learning Is Like a Journey
We can remember some important times in our lives. Some things have become good memories. The memories are always in the corner of our mind.
When I was in a kindergarten (幼儿园 ), I had many toys and friends. They made me laugh and cry. The teachers taught us many songs and games. We played all day. Although we did not know what learning was at that time, we were learning every day.
When I was in the primary school, I was excited to learn school subjects. Nearly every subject caught my attention. However, my favorite subject was science. I remembered on the first day our science teacher told us the sun was like a big fire ball. We were quite surprised and kept our mouths open. We began to wonder at the secret of nature. Later many other things came to our ears. We began to learn carefully.
When I was ten years old, I began to read newspapers, keep a diary, visit museum and make many friends. Every day was something new, interesting and exciting. Now I am in the middle school. Each day is new to me. Happily, I am still learning. It is like a journey to me. I have learned a lot, but there's still a long way for me to go. I hope to become a learned(有学问的) person someday.
