One of the most famous buildings in the United States is Carnegie Hall, the home of classical and popular music concerts in New York. Carnegie Hall is known not just for its beauty and history, but also for its amazing sound. It has been said that the hall itself is an instrument. It takes the music and makes it larger than life.

    Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie, who paid for its construction. He was a wealthy man who also gave a lot of money to schools and public libraries. Construction on Carnegie Hall began in 1890 and the official opening night was on May 5, 1891.

    The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E. Simon. The building became very old and in 1960, the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block. Isaac Stem led a group of people who fought to save Carnegie Hall and finally, the city of New York bought it for $5 million. It was then fixed up between 1983 and 1995.

    In 1986, people realized that Carnegie Hall had never kept proper records of its history. Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programmes and information from all over the world. Over 12,000 concert programmes were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Hall's concert history.

    Because the best and most famous musicians of all time have played at Carnegie Hall, it is the dream of most musicians who want to be great to play there. This has led to a very old joke which is now part of Carnegie Hall's history. Question: "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" Answer: "Practise, practise, practise."

In recent years, we can see some changes on P. E. classes at schools. Besides basic trainings like running and jumping, students are having a lot of fun now. Here are some examples. 

Tai Chi

Gao Ming enjoys the Tai Chi class at his school. "At first, we only learned Tai Chi in P. E. class. Day by day, my classmates fell in love withit! There is a Tai Chi competition in our school every year. Different from ballgames, doing Tai Chi makes me calm down and relaxed. It helps me get ready for other classes." said Gao, "I also keep practicing in my free time and it has been a part of my life."

Hip-hop

Ren Hui is a fan of hip-hop and the school helps her develop the hobby. "We can choose the type (类型) of our P. E. class at the beginning of every term and I always go for hip-hop." Ren said "It doesn't need much experience, so anyone can have a try. Every Monday, we learn a new movement. Then we review it on Thursday and Friday. I'm very happy to make new friends during dancing!"

Diabolo (空竹)

Playing diabolo, a traditional folk game, is a class for nearly all the students at Nanjing Yuhua Primary School. The much-loved sport includes whole-body exercise. "It is my favorite sport. It can help me train my reaction (反应) speed. Most importantly, it's so cool and fun. " Ma Jiaying, an eighth-grade girl said.

Imagine a sky filled with beautiful kites of all shapes and sizes. Isn't it magical? In this article, we'll take you on a journey through some of the best kit e festivals around the world. 

 The Feynman Technique(费曼学习法) was developed by Nobel Prize- winning physicist Richard Feynman. It's a study method that helps students learn by teaching others.

 The Feynman Technique has been one of the most useful study methods for many years. For one thing, it helps students really understand something instead of just memorizing information. Plus, unlike traditional study methods like reading textbooks or reviewing notes, it pushes students to be mate actively involved in the learning process.

 If you want to use the Feynman Technique to study better, follow these steps. To begin with, choose a topic you want to learn, including sub- topics(子主题). If not, you' ll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them.

 The second step is the heart of the Feynman Technique: explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth- grade student. This requires you to help the child understand by using the simplest and clearest language possible. This step helps divide indigestible topics into their most basic parts.

 Next, review your explanation and try to find any area where you felt that you couldn't explain the topic simply. When possible, it can be very helpful to get advice from someone whose understanding is similar to that of a sixth- grader.

 The mourth step. is to improve your explanation using the information collected from the third step Finally, repeat the steps. The Feynman Technique works best with repetition, and that is why going through all the prior(先前的) steps just once is usually not enough to fully understand the topic.

 Once you' re confident you've learned the topic, it's time to give yourself a prize. Perhaps, like me, enjoy a nice cup of coffee.
