According to the traditional Chinese custom, 2018 is just the year of Dog. Ranking as the eleventh animal in the Chinese zodiac -- the Shengxiao, Dog is a symbol of loyalty (忠诚) and honesty.
●Self-mocker (自嘲)
Words and phrases including dogs (Gou in Chinese) are commonly used by young people when telling jokes about themselves. For example, you can say “Valentine's Day has nothing to do with me since I am a single dog.” It is believed that dog-related words and phrases usually have good humour.
●Close relationship
Among some young people, adding “dog” to a friend's name has the meaning of a close relationship. One of the most famous examples in China is that the actor Lin Gengxin is called Lin Gou by his close friends and beloved fans.
●Easy to raise
Kids with pleasant names are easy to bring up, according to an ancient Chinese saying. Parents in the countryside prefer to give nicknames including Gou Sheng and Gou Dan to their kids in the hope that they are as easy to be raised as dogs.
●Metaphor (隐喻)
Since dogs are considered to have many good qualities ( 品 质 ), the word is included in more than 10 Chinese metaphors. For example, “serve like a dog or a horse,” is used to describe someone who is ready to work hard for the people who have powers.

An English gent leman always takes an umbrella and wears a hat. Why? In England, it rains often. The rain comes at any time, so an umbrella is necessary (必要的) in people's life. English gentlemen love to take a long black umbrella. It is useful when the rain comes. And it is also a style. The hat plays an important part in their life too. If two men meet in the street, they take off (脱掉) their hats to show their respect (尊重) to each other. If a man visits his friend, he takes off his hat frst when he gets into the room. If he goes to a party, he can only put the hat on his chair, but not on the table. You don't have the two things, but you can still (仍然) be a gentleman. Always be nice to others and be ready to help others. Show your respect and love to old people, women and children. Never shout. Never lose your temper (发脾气).

I was happy in those days before I started going to school. Because I had good neighbors to play with. I played with them from morning to evening. We played games outdoors, dressed up as cowboys and rode around on our tricycles(三轮车) happily.
At the age of five, I had to go to kindergarten(幼儿园) and it was quite hard for me at first. I felt very sad about having to leave my mother each morning. I cried and wanted my mother around. As the days went by, however, I made friends easily in my class. I became happy again and looked forward to leaving my house each morning.
I still remember those days when I was learning to ride a bicycle. I fell several times but I never gave up. Finally, I was able to join my friends riding around on my bike.
Another memory I like is the end-of-year concert held at the kindergarten. I was chosen to play the role of Jack in the play, Jack and the Magic Beans. I became the superstar that night and received praise for my performance.
What a wonderful childhood I had! At times I really wish I could go back to those days.
