    Good evening, everyone! It is my honor to be here to share something with you. Today my topic is “Stop {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(choose) merit students(优秀生)”.

    There is no doubt {#blank#}2{#/blank#} choosing merit students may inspire some students to learn from those models, which make many parents happy, for they always attach great importance to their education. However, this way has its {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (weak). As we know, the students are still young, and choosing merit students may be {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(harm) to their mental health by sorting them into good students and bad students. So it {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(obvious) doesn't benefit them in health. At the same time, teachers are always {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(drown) in teaching, thus ignoring their virtue and PE, which does more harm {#blank#}7{#/blank#} good to the growth of students.

As a matter of fact, what is more important is that we should take measures to enter their minds to find {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they are thinking and desiring. Only in this way can we really find an effective method {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(guide) them at school. Everyone may have a balanced {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(develop).

    That's all.

    Thank you for listening!

Chinese tea is good for cleaning our digestive system. From time {#blank#}1{#/blank#} time, we would like to have a cup of Chinese tea after {#blank#}2{#/blank#} meal. Sometimes, we use Chinese tea for cooking, especially tea eggs.

Tea eggs, a popular Chinese food, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (sell) along the busy sidewalk or at a market food stand. It is not only a quick and delicious way to fill up your stomach, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a unique way to learn Chinese culture of food.

Chinese tea eggs are easy to make. Simply prepare some {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (boil) eggs. Gently tap the egg shells with the back of a teaspoon and crack the shells. Next, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (careful) place the cracked eggs in the pot with marinade (卤汁) and boil for about 15 minutes.
