I found it hard to communicate with my mother. Relations between us became difficult. 

One day I ran away from home and stayed outside for a few hours. When I returned home at night, I saw all the pain, anger and disappointment on my mother's face. We knew that we were in great need of talk. We agreed to havebreakfast together the next morning. In the end, we decided to go to a restaurant.

On our way to the restaurant, I noticed my mother had two notebooks in her hands. I asked her what they were used for. She explained to me that sometimes it was easier to write our own feelings than talking about them. We should write down our feelings.

Our first topic was"Why am I so angry?" I wrote a half page, and my mom filled up nearly three pages. I saw the tears run down her face while she was writing. I never realized anyone could hide so much anger. After we finished writing, we exchanged our notebooks. As soon as I started reading my mother's words. I began to cry and so did she. When we finished reading, we discussed our feelings. Finally, it felt like all the anger inside me went away from my body. Our talk helped me realize so many things I had never thought of before, not only about my mother but also about other people.

My mother and I continue using our notebooks as a way of communicating. We know that no matter how we feel about each other, our notebooks are a safe place to express our feelings. We have come to an agreement that we write"I love you" at the end of each other.

A mother went home after a long day's hard work. Her 8-year-old daughter ran up to her. She was waiting for her mother and wanted to tell her something about her younger brother. 

"While I was painting a picture and Dad was on the phone, Tyler took his crayons and wrote on the wall! I told him you would be angry with him for doing it again, but I couldn't stop him,"the daughter said. 

"He did it again? Where is your little brother now?"

"He is in his room. "

The mother walked to her younger son's room. She called his full name as she came in. Then, she found Tyler trying to hide under the bed. He knew that the worst time was coming. For the next 10 minutes, the room was full of the sound of the mother's shouting about the expensive wallpaper. 

Then she went to the living room to see what was on the wall. As she saw the wall, her eyes were full of tears at once. It said"I love you, Mum" with a heart on the word"love". 

 Mary and Lisa are twin(双胞胎) sisters. They study (学习) in the same school but they aren't in the same class. They lives on a farm. They like animals very much. They have six sheep (羊), three horses (23) and ten chickens on their farm.

 One day, Mary's good friend, Lily goes to visit Mary."I have a white rabbit," Lily says." It is from my cousın Jack. But I can't find a nice home for it to live in. Can you give me some ideas?

" Yes," Mary says." You can bring (带来) your rabbit here. I think it will be happy to live on my farm. And you can come to take care of(照顾) the rabbit at any time."

 Lily is very happy. The next day, Lily takes her rabbit to Mary's farm. And the two girls give the rabbit a name — Bubbles. Now, Bubbles has a nice new home. It lives on the farm with other animals there.

Daming lives in Beijing. Read and learn about her day. 

One day Suzie McCash went shopping with her mum in Tynemouth, England. Suzie was four years old. Her mum didn't feel very well at the shops, so they went home.

In the house, Suzie's mum went to lie on the sofa. She was there for a long time. Her eyes were shut and it wasn't easy for her to breathe(呼吸). Suzie was worried. Was her mum really ill? Suzie went to the house next door, but the neighbors(邻居) weren't there. So she phoned 999 — the emergency telephone number for the police.

The police officer was very kind and Suzie was calm.

OFFICER: ‘What's your mummy doing now?'

SUZIE: ‘Um, she's just lying on the sofa and she's doing nothing.'

OFFICER: ‘Are her eyes open?'

SUZIE: ‘No, they're shut.'

And later…

OFFICER: ‘Can you open the door? Can you be a big girl?'

Soon the police were at their house and some doctors were there, too. About an hour later, Suzie's mum was OK again. A doctor said, "Her mummy was very sick. Without Suzie's phone call, her mummy might be dead(去世的) now!"

Suzie's story was in the newspapers and people were surprised and happy about it. She was a very brave girl and, a year later, she was in the news again because she was named a Child of Courage at the Pride of Britain Awards(奖) for helping her mother.

Many players at the Olympics represent(代表) their countries. However, some players cannot do this because they are refugees. Refugees are people who had to leave their home countries because of war, problems, or being treated badly. There are more refugees now than before.

 To help these players, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) made a special team for refugees. This team started in 2016 to let refugees take part in the Olympics. They don't represent any country, but they can still win medals.

 The refugee team first played in the 2016 Olympics in Rio. They also took part in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and the 2024 Paris Olympics.

 This year, the team had 37 players from 11 countries. They showed that more than 100 million people around the world who had to leave their homes could still do great things. In Paris, they played in 12 different sports like swimming, running, badminton, boxing, and more.

 The IOC President said that even though these players didn't have a flag or a national anthem(国歌), they were welcomed at the Olympics with the Olympic flag and song. They showed that people could be strong and do well even in difficult situations. This gave hope to many people who had to leave their homes.
