For many years, people have had picnics. Now, people still like picnics. People eat outdoors because of worries about the corona virus. It is also called COVID-19. Eating outdoors might lower the chance of spreading the illness.

Countries around the world have different picnics.

Hurricane Irma was a very strong storm. It hit Florida in September. Many people left their homes. Some made special plans ahead of time. They planned to take their pets with them.

This is important. It is easy for pets to get lost in disasters. Rescue centers take in many pets after a big storm. Some pets get scared. They run away. Others get left behind. Scared pets may hide. Their owners cannot find them.

Sometimes, families leave without their pets. They have to leave quickly. So they do not have time to find the pet. Planning can keep this from happening.

Plan Ahead For Emergencies

Tim Rickey works for an animal rescue group. It is called the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Mr. Rickey said families should plan ahead for an emergency. They should not leave their pets at home. It is too dangerous.

Families that plan can still lose their pets. This is sad for the family. And it is scary for the pet. But they should not give up. There are ways to find each other again.

Comfort Your Pet During Storms

Owners know their pets. Does your dog run when he gets scared? Ask your parents to buy a stronger leash, Mr. Rickey said. Does your cat like to hide? Make her a safe place. Then you will know where to look for her first. Make sure you can get there quickly. You may have to leave home in a hurry.

Your pet may be scared by a big storm. Comfort him or her. Treats and toys can cheer your pet. Lots of snuggles help, too.

Don't Lose Hope

Planning is a big help. But disasters are unpredictable. You may still lose your pet. If so, do not lose hope. You need to keep looking. Animal rescue centers are very busy after a disaster. You should call them often.

Also, you should search for your pet in a wide area. Do not stick to your town only. Your pet may be in a nearby town or city. Sometimes, other states take in animals after disasters. See if this is the case where you live. Then check with those faraway shelters.

In the 1700s, many people believed that space was supernatural. They thought events in the sky happened when gods were unhappy. Some of these events were eclipses (日食). Eclipses result from objects moving in space. These objects may be planets or moons. During an eclipse, one object passes through the shadow of another.

But Wang Zhenyi thought differently. She was a scientist in China. Wang believed in facts and observation (观测). She used experiments to understand difficult ideas. This included eclipses.

Throughout her life, Wang wrote many articles about her research. She shared her findings with scientists and the public. She wanted everyone to understand her work. She thought science should be available to all.

Wang Zhenyi was born in what is now Nanjing, China. She grew up in the late 1700s. Back then, girls were not able to get a formal education. But her father and grandfather were scholars (学者). They pushed her to read and educate herself.

She read about math. She also read about astronomy. That is the scientific study of stars, planets and space. She read medicine books and poetry.

Later, Wang met other female scholars. She decided to focus on studying astronomy and math. She also started writing poetry.

Wang couldn't go into a lab. So she did experiments (实验) at home. In one, she used a round table, a lamp and a mirror. The table was Earth. The lamp was the sun. The mirror was the moon. She moved them around to understand their movements. By doing so, she showed what truly happened during eclipses.

Wang showed that the moon can block our view of the sun. This demonstrated (演示) a solar eclipse. It happens when the moon moves between the sun and Earth. It lasts for a short time. Wang also showed that the Earth can block sunlight from reaching the moon. This demonstrated a lunar eclipse. It happens when Earth gets in the way of the sun. Its light cannot hit the moon. During a lunar eclipse a full moon disappears. The shadow of Earth covers it up.

Wang felt it was not fair that girls could not get an education. It hurt science. Her poems often addressed these inequalities.

In one poem, she wrote, "It's made to believe, Women are the same as Men; Are you not convinced, Daughters can also be heroic?"

    Once upon a time, there lived a wise man. Everyone respected him. His son, however, was very lazy and did nothing all day.

    The wise man was worried about his son's future. One day, he said to his son, "I want you to go and find some treasure. I have drawn a map to guide you." Then he handed his son a bag. Inside the bag were clothes, some food, a little money and the map.

    The son set out on his long journey the next day. He had to travel across forests, rivers and mountains. Along the way, he met a lot of people. He was helped by some with food and by some with shelter. He also came across robbers who tried to rob him. He saw changing landscapes (风景) and experienced different kinds of weather.

    Finally, after a long year, he reached the treasure's location. He spent two days looking and digging for the treasure, but found nothing.

    Disappointed, he headed back to his home. On his way back, he experienced the same changing landscapes and seasons. Sometimes, he would stop to enjoy the beauty of nature. He also learned to hunt and make meals. He had to fix his own clothes and shelter himself. He was now able to tell time by the position of the sun and protect himself from wild animals. He met the same people who had helped him earlier. This time, he stayed and helped them in order to repay them.

    When he reached home, he apologized to his father for not finding the treasure.

    "There wasn't any treasure in the very first place, my son," the father answered with a smile. "But I think you have found your life's true purpose."

Visiting a new place can be a scary experience because most people are not comfortable with English. So how can you keep away from this kind of situation? Learn how to speak English fluently. Here are several English speaking tips you must know.

Listen first

One of the best English speaking tips is to listen carefully to understandable English every day. Most people turn to textbooks to study English grammar rules, but you cannot learn how to pronounce correctly by reading them. Instead, listen to the pronunciation of native English speakers and watch the movements of their mouths.

Practise

Read aloud in English for 15-20 minutes a day in front of the mirror, which helps in accent reduction and improves your speaking skills.

Also, talking with a good English speaker can help improvise (即兴发挥) your usage of words and formation of sentences.

Think in English

If your goal is to speak English fluently, it is necessary for you to think in English. Make up the sentences in English as you think about them before saying them. With practice, you can respond automatically (自动地) in English.

Be more confident

Try to relax if you're speaking English. When you speak at a normal speed, you'll find that you'll be able to pronounce the words correctly. Most of the time, the person who you are talking to doesn't notice your mistakes.

In a word, leaning English does not happen overnight. Follow these tips and practise daily.

A kindergarten teacher decided to have her class play a game. The teacher told each student to bring a plastic bag with a few p in it to school. Each student would "name" their potatoes after people they did not like. So the n of potatoes would be different depending on how many people each student d.

The next day, all the students brought their potatoes to school. Some kids had just one or two potatoes, while o had as many as five or six. The teacher then told the children that they would have to c their potatoes with them wherever they went for one week.

Several days passed by. Some of the students started to complain b their potatoes began to rot and smell bad. The students who carried more potatoes also complained about how h their bags were. One week later, the game was over. The teacher asked, "How did you feel about carrying around your potatoes for a w?"

The students complained o again. The teacher simply smiled and said, "This is what it's like to carry hate in your h. You have to carry it with you wherever you go. If you can't tolerate(容忍) carrying rotten potatoes for one week, can you imagine having hate in your heart for a whole lifetime?"
