When you feel sad, tears will come down from your eyes. When you are happy, especially when you laugh hard, tears will also come down from your eyes. But tears have a more important job than showing your feelings.
Tears keep your eyes clean and healthy. They wash away dirt and germs(细菌)just like bath. Your eyes also need tears to keep them wet. And eyes must be wet so that they can move smoothly. Your eyes are busy looking here and there all day long. They move quickly from one thing to another. If you didn't have tears, your eyes couldn't move, and soon you would be blind.
Maybe you don't like tears, but your eyes can't do without them.
This year students in my school can enjoy Beijing Opera in our music classes. The music teacher will teach us how to play Beijing Opera.
Because we can learn a lot from it, especially the history and traditional culture. They also think it can improve our Chinese. There are so many poems and stories in Beijing Opera.
Some students don't think so. They prefer pop music. They don't understand why their school will take Beijing Opera into classes.
They think learning Beijing Opera is helpful. But they're afraid it will affect our study. If we have opera lessons, we'll have less time to study.
I think different people have different hobbies. They can give different kinds of classes. We students can choose what we like.

A. Parents care more about our study. B. Teachers shouldn't force us to learn Beijing Opera. C. Teachers think it's necessary for us. D. They're bored with it. E. Parents think we are busy with our lessons. |
