When something great happens to a friend, a family member or a classmate, congratulations are in order! However, some people don't know how to congratulate others. Here are some ways to show your congratulations.

Say “congratulations” with a smile. Remember to express your congratulations with a winning smile. The expression on your face is pretty important. If you say “congratulations” with a serious look on your face, the person will probably think you aren't actually all that happy for him or her.

    Send an en email or a card. Besides saying “congratulations in person, you might want to send a congratulatory note. You can send a simple email or write a message on a card. You can buy some beautiful cards in the store.

    Send a gift. If the occasion is special enough, you can send a gift. You don't need to buy something expensive. Try to buy a suitable gift. All in all, choose a gift that lets the person know you want to celebrate with him or her.

    Spread the word. You can help spread the person's joy by telling other people the good news, so they can congratulate the person as well. If the person prefers to keep the good news private, don't spread the word.

    Teaching your child to read can be one of the most rewarding(值得的) experiences you have as a parent.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Nothing can replace the head start(起步时的优势) that a child receives from becoming familiar(熟悉的) with books and the way that the written word sounds when reading aloud. If your child sees that reading is important to you, then he will be much more likely to want to learn how to read himself.

    If your child shows interest in learning letters and looking through books, he may be ready to begin learning to read. Learning how to read cannot be rushed. If your child has no interest in learning his letters, then wait a month or so and try again.

    You can make this fun, such as saying "I see a [k]-[ӕ]-[t]-cat" whenever you see a cat. The sound of a letter is much more important than a letter's name because the child will need to combine the letter sounds to make words.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    Some children learn their letters faster by seeing or hearing them, while other children learn letters by using their bodies. Encourage your child to draw the letter and then paste pictures of something that begins with that sound onto the letter. Sing songs about the letter. Read your child a story that repeatedly uses that letter sound.

    Rather than try to teach a child 26 new letters at one time, focus on one letter a day or a week. This enables the child to master each letter sound and feel proud of himself/herself for doing so.

    We can find emojis (表情符号) in our life every day. "Funny" is a made-in-China emoji. It is from Baidu Tieba. And now lots of people like using it. People can buy "Funny" emoji bolsters (抱枕) on the Internet. They are just so cute, so people feel very happy when they see the bolsters.

    Look, this girl is wearing a long and beautiful dress. Do you know what it is? It is Hanfu. Hanfu is traditional Han Chinese clothing (传统汉族服饰). It is about 5,000 years old. Hanfu is different now, but it is still loose (宽松的) and long. More people are wearing Hanfu these days. Do you like it?

    Chinese tea is very popular around the world. White, yellow, green, oolong, black and dark tea are the 6 main types (主要种类). People in Guangdong and Fujian love to drink "Kung Fu Tea" in small tea cups. In Beijing, people love green tea. Remember to make the cup only seven-tenths full(七分满).If the cup is too full, it will get too hot.

    There are some skills for students to listen to the teachers in class, which means you're going to have to practice them. Just as you would have to practice basketball to be a better player, you also have to practice listening. How to listen in school? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    One of the things you'll need to do is to make sure that your mind doesn't wander(漫游). It's easy to start thinking about other things, especially when you are not interested in the subject. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

   Next, listen for the main ideas. If you want to catch every little piece of information, you'll feel tired and bored. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Not only does this show respect to the teacher, it also helps prevent your mind from wandering. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Or it could just be someone talking to their neighbors who shouldn't be, it can even be some birds outside the classroom window, or a group of kids who are talking loudly as they pass the door to your room.

    Finally, you need to take notes because you will not remember everything the teacher said. You'll have to take down the notes so that you can study it after class. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    Listening isn't always easy, but if you follow these simple steps, you'll be much more successful in your classes.
