The erhu is a traditional Chinese musical instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use this type of huqin to perform different kinds of music, and it became quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. Now it is used in both traditional and modern music. It has even become a solo (独奏的) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue by Abing.

The erhu used to be mainly played by common people, As the playing skills were passed down by oral (口传) tradition, there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians usually turn to ancient paintings, sculptures and murals (雕塑和璧画). The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province.

Because of so many people's effort, the erhu becomes more and more popular around the world. In fact, we can hear the familiar sound of the erhu in many Hollywood productions, such as Kungfu Panda in 2012 and most recently, the Oscar nominated(提名)film Up in the Air(《在云端》). When people watch these movies, they also enjoy the special music of the erhu. The erhu is also called "Chinese violin" by many westerners, but in many ways, they are quite different.

An amazing outdoor activity

Time flies by quickly. In the past year，I took part in many amazing outdoor activities. 

As a country with a history of over 5,000 years, China is the home of tea. Last summer, I took a trip to Huangshan Mountain in Anhui, China with my parents. I will never 1 the Chinese tea culture there.

On a sunny afternoon, we arrived at the foot of the mountain, tired 2 excited. After a short rest, the 3 took us to a big farm and we learned about tea processing there. He told us that Sheng Nong found out 4 as a drink in old times. In the evening, we paid a visit to a tea house. We watched a tea art show and 5 the local（当地的）green tea. We saw a young woman in a beautiful Chinese dress showed us 6 a cup of tea is made with tea sets. We really enjoyed it and 7 ourselves when we were listening to the traditional folk music. We are sure that the 8 are the ones who best understand the nature of tea.

Time went fast there. I learned a lot about tea culture 9 . Through this journey, I knew something new about the country. I am 10 to the next trip to China!

The 24-year-old volunteer, who is known online as Danni recorded(记录) happy times with her students on her phone. Each of the videos attracts thousands of Chinese netizens who are interested in her volunteer experiences.

After finishing university in 2020, Danni chose to work in Africa for a year and then traveled to seven countries. Finally, she stopped in Uganda because of a primary school. She taught children from Grade One to Grade Four. Danni set up different kinds of classes for her students, such as Chinese language learning and cooking.

Sometimes Danni would cook traditional Chinese food for her students, and she also taught them to speak Putonghua. "Their smiling faces gave me energy(能量) and I enjoyed staying with them," she said.

In 2022, Danni arrived in Lebanon and became a voluntary teacher at a local school. This time she taught arts and crafts(手工艺). At the school, Danni built beautiful friendships with the children. They would run to give her hugs(拥抱) or small presents every morning, and would invite her to their homes.

She had some interesting activities in her teaching such as paper cutting and the making of paper ice cream. Some of her students were good at these and could finish the handicraft works quickly, while some needed a bit of help. The good thing was that they all worked hard.

Hello, I am Mark. Let me {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (tell) you something about my brother John and me. Our parents are busy, so we need to clean our own rooms and our {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (parent) room, too. You see, this is my room and that is his room. My room is tidy, but {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (he) is not. In my room, my books {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) on the bookcase and my school things are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my school bag. There is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} map of China on the desk. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} in his room, things are everywhere. Look, some white toy planes are under the chair. The {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (tape) are on the bed. He always. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (ask), "Could you take my socks to me?" "Where is my set {#blank#}10{#/blank#} keys?" "Where is my math homework?" Maybe he needs a babysitter.

David, a 15-year-old boy from England, lives in Shanghai with his parents now. He is very healthy. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, he had some bad habits in the past. He liked to stay up late and he usually played computer games on the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} at night. In the morning, he got up late and didn't eat breakfast. For lunch and dinner, he ate junk food. He liked eating candies very much and he {#blank#}3{#/blank#} ate them every day. And he hardly ever exercised. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} his parents asked him to do sports, he never listened.

Last year, David often felt tired. His parents were worried about his {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, so they took him to the hospital. The doctor told David that he was in poor health (健康欠佳). Then David decided to do something. "I'll try to spend {#blank#}6{#/blank#} time on the computer," he said. "I'll try to eat healthy food. And I'll get up early and exercise at least {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a week. Besides, I will do the housework with my parents {#blank#}8{#/blank#}."

Now he loves doing sports. After dinner, he often helps his parents with the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. On weekends, he hardly ever plays computer games. He also loves reading some English {#blank#}10{#/blank#} such as Time in his free time. These good habits help him keep healthy.
