Anna and her family enjoy their visit in China. Now she is checking the weather forecast before making plans for the following days.
Mother's Day first began in America. A mother was very kind. After she died, her daughter wanted to remember her so she wanted to make a day for all the mothers. In 1913, America decided to make the second Sunday of May to be Mother's Day and every family had to put up a national flag to show their love to mothers. Later, it became an important festival to remember and praise(赞扬) all the mothers in the world.
In China, some people want to make our own Mother's Day. There is a famous story about Mother Meng. She loved her son very much and did a lot for her son. Chinese people think she was a great mother, so people want to make lunar(阴历的) April 2nd to be the day. Because Mother Meng's son——Mengzi was born on that day.
On Mother's Day, children often help their mothers do some cleaning and they also buy gifts for their mothers. Some mothers even go for a trip and have some other activities to celebrate this day.

Sunshine Middle School is so nice! It is a very big school. Look! There are five school buildings. The classroom building is for students and next to the science building. There is a big library in front of the classroom building. You can read books in it. The office building is in front of the science building. Our teachers work in it. Our dining hall is just next to the playground. After school, many students play sports on the playground. I like playing basketball very much. What's your favourite sport? |
Sit back and get relaxed!
These days, we easily feel stressed as we get more and more work to do. It's important to know how to solve problems and find ways to relax.
First, we should try organizing our work from most important to least important as well as most urgent(紧急的) to least urgent. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} As soon as those are done, work on things that are important but not urgent. Then, do things that are less important and less urgent. This makes us know what to do first and not worry about the rest.
Still, sometimes we feel stressed even after organizing our work. That's okay. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Because exercise helps a lot in forgetting about our problems. It doesn't even have to be a big trip to the gym, although that surely helps. It could be something as small as walking around the neighborhood for 10 to 20 minutes.
Finally, we can try meditation(冥想). {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Just set aside 10 to 20 minutes with an alarm clock, sit straight, close our eyes, and focus only on breathing. If other thoughts come up, accept that they are there and let them fly away on their own. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
By trying these steps, we will certainly feel peaceful when finishing all of the work.
A. How can we do that? B. It is not easy to get work organized. C. Try to add some exercise into our weekly plan. D. Both our body and mind can get relaxed this way. E. If some problems are both important and urgent, do those things first. |
Which way is better for you to get relaxed? Why?( about 20 words) {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
I feel unhappy.
Lingling says: 22 August 2024 at 20:18 Hi, Chen Jie, I'm Lingling. I have a little brother, but sometimes I feel unhappy. My parents give my little brother more attention(关注) because he's too young. I know we should help him but I miss(思念) the old days. What can I do?
23 August 2024 at 17:32 Hi, Lingling, It's okay to feel a bit left out when there's a new baby in the family. Your little brother is getting lots of attention, but it doesn't mean your parents don't love you. I'm 13 years old. When my little sister came three years ago, I felt this way sometimes too. But I'm happy because I can do more things by myself when my parents are not at home. I usually look after(照顾) my sister. I play with her, feed her and change her diaper. It helps me learn to be a good big brother. Don't worry, Lingling. Everything will be better! |
