Dear Mom, Because of saving sick people in the hospital, you and Dad have to work away from home. You must be very tired. I know something I can do to help give you both a break. I can do chores and you can pay me! Every day, I'll sweep the floor, set the table and walk the dog each for $1. This plan can let you and Dad relax. It will help me, too. Ill organize my time better and learn to manage(管理)my money. So what do you think? I'm ready to start right now! Love Gabby |
Dear Gabby, You're old enough to start doing chores. But Dad and I won't pay you. No one pays us to do chores. Chores are a part of family life, and we all need to help keep our house clean and tidy. Sometimes we do jobs not for a reward(回报), but because it's our responsibility(责任) to do so. In fact, you'll get a reward for doing chores—smiles from both your dad and me. Love Mom |
S1Yan Minwen, a retired(退休的)engineer in Beijing, set up a free class to teach let-behind children in her hometown in Hebei Province.
Although Yan is not a teacher, it is a common wish of her and her husband to open such a class in the village.
However, before she set up the class, her husband fell ill and died. Yan was very sad, but she didn't forget their wish. She rented(租)a room from her uncle, bought some used desks and chairs and started the class on March 23rd.
There are 19 students from Grade One to Seven in Yan's class. Yan knows about each child well and talks about them as if they were her own grandchildren. They learn together and work together to solve problems.
"It is not about teaching, but about company(陪伴), "Yan said.
After learning that Yan is teaching in the village to help left-behind children, her old classmates send books to her every now and then to help her.
Some young people also want to help Yan and Yan is always happy to see this happen. She said, "I am too old to take care of the class all by myself. "Yan wants to see more volunteers help these left-behind children and is planning to open a library in the village as soon as possible.

As we know music can bring us not only wonderful excitement but also happiness when we are tired or sad. And many people have the habit of enjoying music when they are free. But one English school named Millfield School allows children to listen to music or even to have the TV on while they are studying, and they find it helps to improve the students' grades.
According to the research at Millfield School, about 20%of teenagers work best with background music, 10%of them do well when allowed to finish their work with short walks around the room while up to 80%can concentrate(集中注意)better if allowed to play with a small thing.
The research has made the school use a very new way, encouraging students to discover (发现) which learning ways suit(适合)them best, and then let them do their homework listening to music or even lying down. Some parents don't believe, but many are now accepting it at home where children are allowed to do their work with the television on.
"I prefer(更喜欢)to work on the floor with music on low, "said Linda, a 13-year-old girl. "At first my parents thought I didn't study hard, but my teacher asked them to look at my homework and when they saw it was okay, they agreed at last. "
