      According to one story the idea for making the first teddy bear came from a newspaper cartoon drawn in 1904. This cartoon showed President Teddy Roosevelt on a hunting trip refusing to shoot (射杀)a young bear. The young bear became a symbol for Teddy Roosevelt.
Morris Michtom owned a small candy and toy store in New York City. He and his wife made many of the toys they sold. When he saw the cartoon, he had a wonderful idea. He decided to make a toy bear with eyes and legs and arms that moved. The bear was put in the store window next to a copy of the cartoon. Mr . Michtom called it “Teddy's Bear”.
     Many of these bears were sold. The bears became so popular that Mr . Michtom thought he might need President Roosevelt' permission to use his name. He wrote to the president and sent him a “Teddy Bear”. The president answered,saying that Mr. Michtom could use his name.

    You might think that native English speakers are the best at speaking the English language. But some experts believe that when it comes to successfully communicating in English, non-native English speakers are actually better at it.

    "Often you have a room full of people from different countries communicating in English and all understanding each other. And then suddenly the American or British person walks into the room and nobody can understand them," Chia Suan Chong, a UK-based communications culture expert, told the BBC.

    Chong said that happens because non-native speakers communicate more carefully. "English speakers, on the other hand, often talk too fast, use jokes, slang (俚语) and make references (引用材料) to their country that others might not understand," Chong said.

    It is something that I keep in mind when talking to my Chinese friends. I am careful to speak slowly and use words I know they will understand. Sometimes we confuse each other though. Once I told my friend "no dramas", which means "no problem". She thought I was calling her a drama queen, though, and got upset!

    But don't worry. Experts say that it is the native speaker's fault if they can't understand you, not yours! "English speakers with no other language often don't know how to speak English internationally," said English language teacher Dale.

    The best way to avoid any trouble might be to ask for some patience. If you find it difficult to understand an English speaker, don't be afraid to ask them to slow down and speak clearly.

A Healthy & Delicious Dish--Potato Salad

When your parents have to leave you alone at home, surely you need to feed yourself while parents are away. You can eat out in the restaurants, order takeouts (外卖) on some apps or fill your stomach with snacks. However, none of them is healthier than a home-made meal that is cooked by yourself. If you are not a good cook, I'll show you how to make a simple dish—potato salad. 

What we need

Please prepare three potatoes, two eggs, one onion, one tomato, 1/2 spoon(汤匙)of sugar, one spoon of salt. Then get 1/5 kg of sausage. Make sure the vegetables are fresh enough. And it isn't necessary to have sausage in the salad, but the salad can taste more delicious with it. 

How to make it 

The first step is to cut the potatoes into small pieces. Just cut them in any shape you like. The next step is to cook the potatoes for 10 minutes. The third step is to boil (煮沸) the eggs for 7 minutes, take the shell(蛋壳)off and cut them into small pieces. After that, cut the sausage, the tomato and the onion into small pieces. The final step is to put all of them into a big bowl. Put sugar, salt in it, and mix them well. Now everything is done and the dish is served!

When your parents are back home, they will be surprised at what a wonderful dish you can make. If you want to invite someone for dinner, have a picnic or even enter a cooking competition, just make a potato salad and share it with others!
