A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But it's usually easy to 3. Some take medicine such as aspirin (阿司匹林) 4 others try home treatments like herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you will feel better after a week.
The flu on the other hand can be much more 5. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can be deadly. The worst flu, the so-called Spanish Flu of 1918 to 1919, killed about 50 million people, according to The Atlantic.

That was the end of the term. When we were studying something about DNA, Mr. Kwak, the science teacher, told us to prepare for a debate (辩论). I was a little worried. We found we were against a group which was filled with native English-speaking students, while there was only one American boy in our group. However, we didn't dread the challenge. Our topic was "Should college accept students based on their DNA traits(特征)?" We opposed this thought.
I took the role of Q&A. When I went back to the dormitory, I asked for help from an experienced debater in college. He taught me how to express ideas, search for information on different websites and list the points.
After a week's preparation, I stood on the stage with a well-thought plan in my mind. Then I noticed that the hope of our group, the American boy, was sick that day. His position of first speaker was empty. I had to take his position and plan my materials and data again. Before the debate, I kept asking myself what if I couldn't understand what they were saying, and what if they included some idioms(惯用语) that I didn't even know. I was even nervous. But when I stood in front of the whole class, I saw trust and encouragement from my group members. I started to cool down. I fluently stated our opinions and asked questions. When our opponents(对手) had their opening speech, I wrote down some points to retort(反驳) them. Although Mr. Kwak didn't tell me who won the debate, I believe I have already learned a lot. Never lose confidence and you will surely win.

We students have two days off in a week. But do you know "996"? It means starting work at 9 a.m. and finishing at 9 p.m., six days a week.
The "996" work schedule has recently become a heated topic of discussion online. According to the website, working in a "996" schedule is unhealthy and could cause people to end up in serious illness. This work schedule is common at Chinese tech companies like Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei. Most "996" workers do not receive overtime pay.
Many tech industry workers have complained about this schedule. "I worked ‘996' for nine months," one worker said. "I couldn't sleep because of the stress. So, I leave my job."
However, the bosses of some tech companies supported "996". Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, said it's "a huge blessing" for young workers to work "996".
"If you don't do ‘996' when you're young, when will you?" Ma said. "If you don't spend more time and energy than others, how will you achieve the success you want?"
Many have questioned Ma's thinking. In an article in People's Daily, one reporter said, "There is a clear difference between valuing hard work and forcing employees to work overtime."
A lawyer told China Daily that it is illegal (违法的) to use a "996" work schedule. China's Labor Law clearly states that employees should not be asked to work more than eight hours a day or 44 hours a week.

Put on a presentation(陈述，报告)
In the UK, there are many classes that students in China don't have. One is called PSHCE, which stands for Personal, Social, Health and Civilization(文明) Education. 在这节课上，他们可以了解到世界上的不同文化。
The class mostly includes discussions and talking about our own experiences. The teachers prepare presentations and leaflets(散页印刷品) for the students. Sometimes students are asked to watch videos to see how people behave in some situations. Sometimes, teachers will teach about all kinds of topics.

In Western, giving presentations is part of their educational or professional lives as well as in China. It is important to get your message across(传达信息), whether you're in an interview or giving a talk in front of the class. |
Everystudenthastodopresentationstogetherwithothermembersinagroup. Everyone is in charge of a different part of a presentation.
How can you have a better presentation?
● Control your nerves 
It does help you not to forget what you are going to say. The audience(听众) doesn't care if you mess up, and what they care about is what you are going to do about it.
| |
● Be prepared
When possible, you should get to the location of your presentation the day before to make sure all the electronic aids work.
● Engage(吸引) the audience.
Whether you've got a one-on-one talk or a speech in front of 400 people, think “storytelling”. Stories are powerful. The way to a person's head is through his or her heart.
● Pause(暂停) for a while.
If you've got something people should read, pause and let them read it. However, if you leave your pause too long, people will feel uncomfortable.

Because of the novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan in December, the number of people infected and patients died kept climbing. It is reported that the epidemic has something to do with the selling of wild at South China Seafood Market. There is no doubt that hunting and killing wild animals has a bad influence. On the one hand, wild animals for their meat, which causes the imbalance of nature. What's worse, some of may disappear forever. On the other hand, because of the contact (接触) between humans and wild animals, epidemics like SARS and pneumonia may infect humans .
Since the outbreak of the disease, the Chinese government down the city directly to prevent the spread of the disease. At the same time, the Chinese people pull together to fight the epidemic. Our relationship becomes even in the face of the disaster.
For the further development, something must be done to stop this illegal action. First, Nature Reserves (保护区) are supposed to be built so as to offer more living space to wildlife. Second, be aware that never have wild animals for food they are part of environment. Third, it is time for the government laws about protecting wildlife. In this way, we can build a and friendly society and ensure a sustainable development (可持续发展).
