When Dorota Siewert played the piano as a child in Poland, she never imagined she would later develop a connection with the harp that would lead her to many cities and countries in the world, including Shenzhen. Siewert began playing the piano at the age of 6 and continued until 14. When she had the chance to pick.another instrument, she chose the harp for its beautiful shape as well as its beautiful sound. Becoming a harp artist was her dream. During her studies, she began performing in concert. As the only harp student, she got her first job to perform at a hotel in Oman. "I was able to make enough money to buy my own harp!" she recalled.
Siewert had performed in several countries. She enjoyed attracting audiences with her music. In 2016, personal changes forced Siewert to look for work in Hong Kong. She took the chance, which led her to discover information about Shenzhen. She received an invitation from a local school. " On arrival, a dinner at Sea World and the fountain music show were fantastic introductions to the city."
Siewert presently teaches music at Quality School International in Nanshan. She is teaching eight students aged 8 to 11. To encourage more students to choose the harp, she actively guides them in preparing for concerts. "Teaching the harp was my first step to develop greater interest in this wonderful instrument," she remarked. " My pupils' passion for learning encourages me to make this instrument more popular locally." "It's not difficult, it's just unfamiliar." She often reminds her students of the importance of hope and patience." Facing challenges develops a sense of achievement —the most important I hope they take away from my lessons."She said.

There is a girl at school, and we don't really get along. She keeps spreading rumours(传播谣言) about me and people are turning against me. What should I do? —Sam |
Some people spread rumours as a way to scare others and get popularity. But spreading rumours as a way to turn people against someone is a form of bullying(霸凌). So what can you do if you find yourself the target(目标) of rumours and social bullying?
Turn to a trusted adult for support. Talk to someone you can trust, like a parent, a teacher, or a coach. Let that person know what you're going through. Keep him or her up to date on what's going on, even as things start to get better. A trusted adult can help you feel more supported and less lonely. What's more, adults can do something to put a stop to the rumours.
Find your friends. Find a friend or two who will be willing to help you and who won't listen to rumours. If you want, share your feelings with those friends. Don't think too much about the situation, though. Spend time having fun with your friends and doing activities you enjoy.
Speak up. Try to speak to the girl who's spreading rumours. Don't be angry. Avoid shouting. Just say what you want calmly and clearly. After you've said what you want, you can simply walk away. There's no need to wait for her to say anything back. Leave her to think about what you said.
Before you try talking to the girl, though, talk with an adult about what to say. It can also help to have a friend stand with you when you talk to the girl.
