He liked painting some cartoon characters such as Nezha and Sun Wukong, because he thought those characters could give people power. As his works became popular on the Internet, Xiaotun village also became a popular travel place. Villagers there didn't go out to work anymore. They improved their living conditions by selling local products (产品). Shang Qinjie also realized painting in the village was very meaningful. So he will continue creating art in his hometown.

Food is life. It gives us what we need to stay alive and be healthy. Usually, we eat because we are hungry or need energy.
Brian William, an scientist, says we also eat certain foods because they make us feel good, and they us of the good old memories. William calls this kind of food comfort(安慰) food. For some people, ice cream is a comfort food. For other people, a bowl of noodles them feel good.
How does a food become comfort food? William believes that we connect food important times, feelings, and people in our lives. " I was a child, my mother made a delicious soup, and I loved it. Now I often have the when I am tired or worried, and it helps me feel better, "says one of William's friends.
Do men and women choose different comfort foods? The is yes. In William's study, the favourite comfort food for both men women is ice cream. What's more, men usually prefer hot, delicious foods like soup or noodles. While women like things such as chocolate, candies and milk tea. And there is a popular saying on the Internet"If one cup of milk tea can't solve the problem, then cup." That means after the second cup of milk tea, you will surely become good and work out the problem.
As students, we have homework every day. Here is some advice for us to finish our homework well. Doing homework should be the first thing, and we should do our homework as soon as we get home. At the same time, it is fine to allow for a snack break and also for stretching(伸展) breaks. It is our duty to do our homework. Don't depend on our parents for help. Please try to find the answer by ourselves because we will learn much more in this way. When we have a question, especially something about science or maths, don't always turn to smart phone, iPad or computer! We need to think hard, then try to solve the problems by ourselves. We can also look at our textbooks carefully, or use some tool books. We can't learn anything without thinking. |
Finally, while doing homework, don't think about or do other things. Keep working. We can set a time limit(限制) to help with this. Different ages decide different study time. 10-15 minutes is good for a child that is aged 6-8. A time of 20-30 minutes is right for a child aged9-12. Kids can keep studying for 30-45 minutes at the ages of 13-15. What's more, the ability to pay attention and stay on tasks also decides the study time. So it is natural that some kids may be not good at it. |
