It was nearly dark, the sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home, with tears in his eyes.
“What's the matter, Tom? How's your trip?” his mother asked with a big smile. “I failed. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way, I still go ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back.” Tom cried. “It doesn't matter, you are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance.” his mother said. “But, standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!” Tom said. His father came over and asked, “Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?”“Sure, and there are a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road.” Tom replied. “Did you hear the birds singing?” his father asked. “There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was very sweet.” Tom said. “Did you feel the beauty of nature?” his father asked. “Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture.” Tom answered. “That's enough!” his father smiled and said, “Please remember, son. For often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn't reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way.”
It is true that not every goal will be achieved, not every job will end up with a success, and not every dream will come true. The most beautiful scenery (风景) is on the way.
With only one yuan, could you live in a city for one day? It may sound impossible.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Living was hard, but finishing the tasks wasn't any easier. The students went to different places to finish tasks in a short time. The most amazing one was when they had to exchange things worth a thousand yuan with only a piece of paper in half an hour.

Perhaps you are looking for an after school hobby, or something to do on the weekends. Gardening with children can be a great way.
Most children love to get dirty. Gardening is a good reason to let them touch the soft earth and enjoy sunshine outside. It can make them stronger.
Gardening can make children learn about their favorite plants at an early age. It helps them know where their food comes from. Children can also understand why it's important not to waste food.
Don't mind if it takes your children some time to take care of the plants. Be sure to encourage them to keep watering and feeding their plants as needed until the end of the growing season. Gardening is a great way to teach your children about responsibility.
Children always have questions. Gardening can help them develop their curiosity (好奇心). A few minutes in a garden, kids will start asking questions. Feel free to let them guide the conversation. Make sure to take the chance to learn together about anything you can't answer.
Start with small projects that children can follow and enjoy, and get them to choose what they want to plant.

| China introduced the "double reduction (双减)" policy in July, 2022. According to the policy, it should take no more than 90 minutes for junior high school students to finish their homework. Several months have passed since the new term began. Here are the two students' points of view. |
| "Our homework is clearly less than before," said 15-year-old Xie Dong from Shijiazhuang. "We are not encouraged to buy workbooks any more. The exercises are mainly from the textbook." Students have enough time to learn new knowledge now. "Our teachers are also giving us more chances to do experiments and learn from real life," said Xie. Self-discipline (自律) becomes the key. "Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind other students," he said. "And we have few exams, I don't think it is a good thing." |
| For 15-year-old Zhang Jing from Langfang, the best thing about "double reduction" is the increased time in after-school activities. "We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have joined a group called "leadership development" where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond schoolwork," said Zhang. There are fewer exams now. But it's not necessarily a good thing. "Exams push me to study harder. Each exam shows my progress as well as my weak points," Zhang said. |
