I started playing the piano when I was about eight or nine. But when I got to university, I stopped playing it. I just didn't have enough time and there were so many other things to do.

    When I was little, I thought I should play the guitar like my dad. But later I decided to try something else. I chose the violin. I want to be a musician when I grow up, but my dad says it's difficult to make a living from music. But I don't want to be a doctor like him. It's so boring.

    Nobody likes living near someone like me because when I practice, I make a lot of noise! I''m sorry for that but I have to keep practicing. I have drum lessons every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon, and I practice the drums every evening. I love playing them and now I play in a fantastic band.

    I''ve played the guitar as long as I can remember. I used to play in a subway station to make some money. Now I keep on playing it when I'm free, but I work as a cook in a restaurant to make a living.

Once there were two neighbors living next to each other. One of them was a retired(退休的) teacher and the other was an engineer. 1 of them planted the same plants in their gardens. The retired teacher was giving a small number of water to his plants and he didn't always give a full attention to them. But the other neighbor gave a lot of water to his plants. He 2 them too well. One day,a rainstorm started suddenly during the night. The next morning, the engineer was 3 to see that his plants came off from the roots(根). But the retired teacher's plants grew very well. The engineer went to the retired teacher and asked," We both grew the same plants together. I took care of my plants 4 than you did for yours, and even gave them more water. Still, my plants came off from the roots, while yours didn't. How is that possible?" The retired teacher smiled and said," You gave your plants more attention and water, but because of that they didn't need to work 5 for water. You made it easy for them. While I gave them just proper(恰当的) water and 6 their roots search(寻找) for more. And their roots went deeper and deeper, which made them 7 "

This story is about parenting where children are like plants. 8 everything is given to them, they will not understand the hard work it takes to have those things. Teach them 9 to walk, but let them go their own way. Sometimes it's best to guide them but not to 10 them

A trip to Hangzhou

Yang Hongwei born in 1966.is a keeper of the Weifang kite-making skill.Born into a kite-making family.Yang often saw kites with bright colours and different shapes in her grandfather's workshop.

Yang learned the skill from her grandfather at the age of 16.After practising the skill for 10 years,she started her own shop in 1992

"Many places around the world have a tradition of flying kites."Yang said."But I think the cultural background behind our kites is unique."

On Yang's kites, people can see not only common designs like butterflies and birds,but also some prints telling Chinese history.For example.she once made a kite showing a phoenix(凤凰)that was lined with portraits(肖像)of 50 famous women from Chinese history on each side.

Yang said that each woman is different in look,clothes and make-up style.To create their portraits,she made lots of effort to check historical records and talk about details with experts.

"It took me a lot of time,"Yang said,"but when I explain the stories of the kites to foreign people,I feel a great sense of achievement."

In her free time,she travels to different countries including Germany,Australia,the United States and New Zealand to tell people stories of Chinese kites and the traditional ways they are made."It is an important job of mine to spread our heritage(遗产)around the world and onto our children,"she said.

This summer my family went on a trip to Stockholm. 

We took a train there. When we arrived in Stockholm, we {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(take) a bus to the hotel. We saw trees and flowers everywhere along the way. We felt like we were in a big forest.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} a lovely city!

The next day we visited the Vasa Museum. It's home to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} old ship— the Vasa. Nobody was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(excited) than my son, because visiting museums is his favourite. There were many visitors in front of the museum. We waited {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a long time and felt a little tired. But {#blank#}6{#/blank#} we went into the museum, we were all surprised. The ship looked very cool and beautiful. 

The third day we went to a park in Stockholm. My son played with some{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (child) there. I talked with {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) parents. My husband watched a chess game. I thought it was the best way {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (feel) Stockholm!

It was a really {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (relax) trip. We all had a good time.
