I am walking through the winter park where the trees stand cold and bare (光秃秃的). The yellow leaves have fallen to the ground. Now, a group of women gather at the sides of a path. In the cold winter, they're moving their arms and legs to a rhythm (节奏). They are, of course, the dancing aunties.

    It seems that if you go to any public space around China, you're likely to see these dancing aunties. When I first came to China, it was one of the first things that annoyed me. That's because in Britain dancing in public is not a cultural habit. You won't see any age group swinging their arms and tapping their feet in a park. Usually, they just take a walk for exercise.

    Now and again the dancing aunties have hit the headlines (头条新闻). Some people find them annoying. But others respect their right to dance in public. Most of them are middle-aged. They finally have some free time to do whatever they like. There is no more work, and their kids have left.

    All in all, I like seeing these women enjoying themselves. They remind us of the importance of exercise as we get older. Besides, most of them have raised the whole families. Now it is their time to have fun and enjoy some peace.

 F. To give up is to live a meaningless life

    The life has been full of challenges and difficulties. Life is not about the smartest person or the strongest person, or even the richest person. However, life is about having the mind in your heart "Never Give Up", even when you feel that giving up is the only choice. The world is waiting on your gifts.

    You are important to this world and believe it or not, someone is waiting for you to enrich their lives. You are too important to the world to just give up.

    You many feel that life is challenging you from time to time and you can't take it anymore. You may want to give up right now. But here is a thought, what will happen if you overcome the difficulties?

    When an Olympic runner is in a race, he or she is focusing on one thing - the finishing line. You have to focus on the big picture – not just where you are right now. Focus in where you want to be. Make an agreement with your mind and your mouth.

    One of my favorite poems is called "Crystal Stair" written by Langston Hughes. In that poem, a mother tells her son that life is tough, you will meet rocks and hard places, but the end is victory to those who stand their ground and ride the course.

    Whatever you are facing, you can make it through. There is a rainbow on the other side of your situation. Stay strong, stay focused and never give up.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}We were both young when I first saw you, I close my eyes and the flashback starts, I'm standing there on a balcony(阳台) in summer air. See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns. See you make your way through the crowd and say hello, and I knew that you were Romeo.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Blue Skies for yon and me. We'll step out of the shadows and walk into the light. Yeah it's gonna be Blue Skies for you and me. But my heart beats slowly as the storm carries on up high.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}And I don't know what goes on in your mind. Someday we'll find you live forever. But no goodbyes, you are a great lady, you'll always be the pride of our country. We watched you fly, our great lady, but nothing's free, the angel of our country.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Hey, what about yesterday? The heavens are falling down. I can't even breathe. What about the bleeding earth? Can't we feel the wounds? What about nature's worth? It's our planet's womb(发源地). What about animals? We've turned kingdoms to dust.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}Say goodbye to all your pain and sadness. Say goodbye to all those lonely nights. I know sometimes you feel so helpless. Sometimes you feel like you can't win. You'll never have to feel that way again. We are here together.

    Yesterday Jack went to a movie with his mother, Mary. There were two movies last night. One was My Father's Birthday. It was a very funny comedy. They both liked it. The actor was Paul Jackson. Jack liked him very much. The other was Black September. It was a thriller. His mother thought it was boring. After that it was ten o'clock. They went home by car. Jack was very happy, because he liked the films and he had a good time. Half an hour later, he went to bed happily. It was a happy Children's Day.
