It was a Sunday morning. Helen and Jim were taking a walk on a beach. It was a quiet beach and there were no other people. They felt very relaxed and happy, walking in the sunshine.
Then Jim saw a bottle (瓶子) on the beach. He picked it up and found something in it. He took it out. Helen ran to look and said, "Wow! A treasure (宝藏) map! Let's follow it."
"OK. We are here and the treasure is here. Let's go! I'll read," said Jim.
"Walk north 100 meters. Stop at a big tree. Turn right and then go straight. Stop when you get to the river. Cross the bridge. Turn left and walk along the river. Stop in front of a big rock (岩石). The treasure is behind the big rock."
"Here!" Jim said excitedly.
"There is a box!" said Helen. In the box was a very old note (便条).
Dear finder,
Sorry. Ihad totake mytreasure away, becauseI needed to buy a new boat.
Bye,
Owner (主人) of thetreasure
Jim and Helen were disappointed and had to go back.
Bullet comments (弹幕) are a new form of comments (评论) which move across the screen while a video is playing in recent years. It's not only a way of communication but also serves as a bridge connecting people in the digital age. However, different people have different opinions about it.
No matter what kind of video we're watching, as long as the bullet comments are on, it will turn into a comedy. From Jack |
With bullet comments on, we can see other people's thoughts, so we can have a different experience. Sometimes we can even find details of the video from them. It allows people to share their feelings. It turns the film-watching experience into an online social activity. I usually enjoy the movie and share my ideas with others in this way at the same time. From Mary |
When there were no bullet comments before, I had more thoughts on the movie. Ever since there have been bullet comments, I need to turn them on when I watch videos because some comments have something to do with the story. However, I do have less thoughts on the movie itself with them on. That makes me quite bored. From Tom |
If someone just keeps telling the story of the movie while you're watching it do you want to beat him at once? From Judy |

Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets. A sonnet is a special type of poem with fourteen lines. His sonnets were mostly about love. One of his most famous sonnets began with the line, "Shall I compare thee* to a summer's day?"
