Gardening is popular in many parts of the world. It brings us sweet smelling flowers, fresh fruit and vegetables. But you can get more from your garden.
Gardening helps to keep healthy. Today's people sit indoors for too long and don't get much exercise. When you garden, you have to move around. It's a good chance for you to exercise your body by watering flowers or doing some digging. Besides, when you are in your garden, you can feel the warm sunshine. This means you are getting Vitamin D. It helps your body use calcium (钙), which is necessary to keep your bones strong.
▲ It gets them off computers, televisions and phones.
Gardening can be a great teacher to teach children about nature and healthy eating. It can also help them to understand the meaning of "No pains, no gains."
Gardening is a great way to meet people and build relationships. When you are gardening, you are outdoors. So it is a perfect time to communicate with your neighbors. Most people love to talk about their hobbies, and so do gardeners. They usually enjoy showing people what they are growing. And most enjoy sharing advice and stories about their gardens.

A study points out parents can take some key steps to raise children well. So, the parent-child relation is very important.
Parents bring warmth to children's lives. They usually show kids love with support. As a child grows older, he finds warmth in the parent-child relation in other ways. Warmth can lead children to do very well in all the fields.
In fact, parents are the children's role models. They can teach children not to depend on parents or others. They are also very strict with children. That's to say, children must do as they are told. Setting limits can help children focus on the work. For example, limiting television time can help them finish homework on time.
From early childhood, the home becomes a school. And the dinner table might become the desk after dinner. Parents will educate their children much if the parent-child relation is strong. For example, reading books to them will improve their language skills, playing games with them will help them think and finishing puzzles (智力游戏) with them will improve their cognitive (认知的) skills.
Mom and Dad play different roles in the childhood. Moms are their life teachers. They teach children not to be afraid of new environments. They also spend time on simple and funny activities with children. Dads are their growing teachers. Experts think fathers play an important role in children's feelings and development. The father-child relation always helps children learn to express and control their feelings.
One day, I picked up my daughter Eloise from school and went to the supermarket for a few things. I was hoping to be in and out quickly.
I found a short line with just one person in front of me. It was an elderly woman, and she was paying for her things with only change. After a long day at work, I could not stand being kept waiting so long.
But then I watched the young clerk. He helped her count her change, ever so tenderly (温柔地) taking it from her shaking hands. I listened to him repeatedly say to her, "Yes, Ma'am." When she asked if she had enough to buy a bag, he told her she did. Then he went two lines over to get one for her. Never once did this clerk get bored or roll his eyes. He was patient and kind.
As I was watching him, I saw Eloise was watching, too. I realized my daughter was learning an important lesson from a complete stranger.
When the woman was finished, the clerk began ringing up my things and thanked me for my patience. I thanked him, too. I found the manager and told him about the clerk's kindness and patience. Then we left the supermarket with a full cart (购物车), but also with a heart full of thankfulness for such an important lesson.
As teenagers, you must have many dreams. The dream can also be very small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what will you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?
"You may think you are not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from realizing your dream," he writes in the book.
In fact, everyone can achieve his or her dreams.
Then, never let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step because a big dream is always formed by many small dreams.
Last but not least, you must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results. While saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

A. Everyone has a dream, big or small. B. You need to decide what is the most important. C. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. D. Many people like eating an ice-cream or drinking cola while watching TV. E. This is good as you have a chance to learn more skills and find new interests. F. The dream can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize or becoming an NBA player G. Follow Your Heart by Andrew Mathews tells us that making our dream come true is one of the biggest challenges in our life. |
