It all started with a "Kindness Week Challenge" given to Brennan by his 8th-grade teacher, Ms. Watkins. Little did he know that this challenge would lead to a wonderful friendship with 84-year-old Ms. Ann.
Brennan's promise to send his little attractive things every day for a week developed a habit of checking up on Ms. Ann and sending gifts regularly, long after the challenge was over.
Their friendship has now lasted for over five years, and Brennan still visits Ms. Ann every month with flowers, cakes, chocolates, cards and more.
They talk about everything from his high school life to his college goals. The pair has found that they share a common love of chocolates. Ms. Ann always hopes to hear about what he's doing and loves to share her own stories from a different time. They have become the best friends, with Brennan treating her as his great-grandmother.Brennan's mom, Traci, takes pride in her son. She said, "The best thing a teenager can do is to take care of the elderly. I'm so glad my son has added more sunshine to Ms. Ann's life. I hope he always remembers the joy he's brought her, and his fun talks with her, keeps his kind heart, and thinks of others."
Ms. Ann's daughter Emma, with her husband Gould, has a 2-year-old son. They are thankful for Brennan's friendship as they cannot always be with Ms. Ann. Brennan's kind heart has brought more sunshine into Ms. Ann's life, and her encouraging words have helped to inspire him in return.
Foreign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry Potter and his friends. Usually, there's an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with an accent known as Received Pronunciation (RP, 标 准 发 音 ), also called the "Queen's English" . However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak with their own regional accents.
Scouse, Glaswegian and Black Country dialect—from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands—are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking with the RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.
In a 2015 study by the University of South Wales, videos of a group of people reading a passage with three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The second group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowest-rated accent was Brummie, spoken by people in Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered working-class.
However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking with the RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you strengths.
Kong Seong-jae is an Internet celebrity from Seoul. After studying in the UK, he picked up several regional accents. He's now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he's learnt. "British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I think it makes a bond between local people and foreigners to speak with their local accent," he said.
So if you're working on perfecting your British accent, try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends.
The thought of low material need and being unwilling to work, marry and have children, is described as a "lying down" lifestyle recently. It creates an emotional reaction among many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly competitive society.
Many young people complained to the Global Times that duties, including work stress, family argument and financial pressure, have pushed them "against the wall" . They said they hate the "involution ( 内卷)", joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get stuck in an endless competition against peers .
"Instead of always following the ‘good quality ' of struggle and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as release and adjustment," said an expert. "It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind."
Interestingly, the majority of young people, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, admit that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel ashamed about their constant loss of morale (士气).
"Young people have both ambition and confusion about their future, but most of us have refused to waste opportunities and challenges," a postgraduate student told the Global Times. "It's no use running away. I have to ‘stand up ' and face the reality sooner or later."

I was a self-employed writer. But I had been in a bad 1 since my new neighbor moved in. Whenever I became 2 to write, I could hear a girl singing next door. She didn't sing well at all, even 3 it was absolutely a headache for me. 4 , it became a daily routine for me to 5 . How could I keep up my 6 and go on writing?
