People have different feelings. For example. I feel bad when I am ill. But I'm happy when my mother stays with me. She takes me to see a doctor and soon I feel good again. I'm afraid when I meet a big dog. But I'm brave（勇敢）when my little sister needs me. I'm worried when I lost my book. But I feel better when my classmates help me to find it. I'm angry when my brother draws pictures in my book. But I'm not angry when I take a deep breath and count to ten.I'm sad when my friends do not want to play with me. What should I do? I should listen to music, read an interesting book or play sports. Then I will feel better.
Things always happen. Sometimes they are good. Sometimes they are not. But that is how life is, and that is how I grow up（成长）.
The year of 2024 is coming. We also call it the Year of the Dragon. Because each Chinese year has an animal name. We may call it the Year of the Tiger, the Year of the Monkey or the Year of the Pig and so on.
We have twelve Chinese zodiac animal signs（生肖）. Each animal represents（代表） a year. There is a cycle（循环） . The twelve animal signs are: rat, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, dog,pig and so on. The first one is the rat. The last one is the pig. The animal names help people remember the years.
People say the zodiac animal of the year can decide your character. The tigers are good leaders. The rabbits are quiet. The sheep are cute. The horses and dogs are friendly. It's really interesting. Do you think so?
