Showing your feeling is important. It is a mistake not to talk to anyone 1 you're feeling sad, worried or nervous. If you keep bad feelings inside, it 2 you sick.
But if you 3 with someone，like your mom or dad or your best friend，you'll usually begin to feel better than before. Now you're not all alone with your problems or worries. 4 , it doesn't mean your problems and worries will disappear magically(神奇地). But at least, 5 understands what's the matter with you and can help 6 find ways to solve your problems.
Your mom and dad want to know 7 you have any problem. They love you and they want to know what's 8 in your life. But if you don't want to talk with them, what should you do? 9 a trustworthy (可信的) friend or teacher at school or a relative. Maybe that person can help you deal with your problems. Then you'll feel as 10 as before.
If your child doesn't like doing housework, sit him down and talk to him. Believe me, teaching children to do housework will be good for 1 in the future.
When my sister was little, she thought doing housework was quite 2 . Every time my mum asked her to clean her room or 3 her things, she suddenly had a lot of homework to do. The homework time lasted (持续) as 4 as the cleaning was going on.
I, on the other hand, never knew 5 to say no. So, I always ended up doing housework while my sister was doing her homework. And after everything was done, she was done 6 her homework!
Many years have passed. However, my 7 and I are quite different. I can look after myself well, 8 she can't. Every time she gets into trouble, she gets 9 and doesn't know what to do. Sometimes, she even needs Mum's help to clean her house.
So, if you want your child to be independent (自立的), let him 10 housework with you. One day, he may thank you for giving him the chance to help.
Celia's pen friend Li Hua has sent her an email. Part of it says:
Here's Celia's reply (回复).
Hi, Li Hua,
It's great to hear from you.
Do you know National Space Day? In my country, we celebrate it on the first Friday of May every year.
It was National Space Day last Friday. My brother Jimmy asked me to go to the museum with him. I didn't want to go at first. But he promised to teach me how to ride a bike, so I went there with him by bus. I thought the museum was just so-so, but Jimmy really loved it.
Now, let me tell you about the museum. It's also called the NASM. It has a history of over seventy years. In 1976, the NASM opened its main building. In 2016, the museum received about 7. 5 million visitors, making it the third most visited museum in the world and the most visited museum in the US.
Jimmy has taken a lot of photos of the museum. Do you want to have a look at them? If so, I will ask him to send some to you.
Yours,
Celia
Have you ever heard of leaf painting? It has a history of more than 2,000 years in China.
Ding Li is 27 years old. He comes from Xianning City, Hubei Province. He has spent many years learning leaf art and has opened his own workshop in his home town.
Ding Li started to learn painting at the age of five. At age 12, he began to learn carving (雕刻). When he first found out about leaf painting at the age of thirteen, he fell in love with the art.
Making leaf paintings is quite complicated. First, Ding Li needs to choose fine leaves from mountains in Yunnan. Then, he goes through over 60 steps (步骤) such as cutting and drying. It takes about two to three months to finish all of these steps.
Ding Li has spent one year making the ancient painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. He painted it on ten leaves.
Before Ding Li makes each painting, he first learns its history to make his artwork more detailed (详细的). "I want to tell stories through my leaf paintings," he says.
Ding Li's works are very popular. On October 28, 2018, two of his works won second prize at an art show between China and Japan.

Michael went back to Fullerton, his home town. His visit to Fullerton was very special to him. He was born there, he grew up there. But he hasn't been back there since he finished high school．
He went to places when he went many years ago. He walked through the park and remembered the days he used to(曾经) walk through that same park with his friends. He passed by the field where he and his friends had played baseball every day after school. And he stood in front of the movie theater and thought about all the Saturday afternoons he used to spend there, watching his favorite movie heroes and eating popcorn.
He did things he hasn't done for a long time. He had some home-made ice cream at the ice cream shop. He rode on the merry-go-round in the park，and he went fishing at the lake. For a little while, he felt like a kid again．
He saw people he hasn't seen for many years. He visited several of his old neighbors. He said hello to the owners of the candy store near his house．And he also went to see Mrs. Riley, his ninth-grade science teacher．
Michael's trip back to Fullerton was a very nostalgic(怀旧的)experience for him．Going back to Fullerton brought back many memories of days gone by．
Dear Mark,
I am very happy to hear from you.

Yours,
Tom
