②One of the most important events in Jiyou Village is the Bridge Worship Festival(祭桥节). It is celebrated on the second day of the second lunar month. During this festival, the Miao people take an active part in the joyful preparations, cooking traditional dishes, making wine, and practicing their traditional songs and dances.
③When the festival approaches, the village becomes lively, with villagers dressing up in colorful Miao clothes. Men play the lushing, a traditional musical instrument, while women carry baskets filled with delicious food and wine. The children, dressed in their best clothes, can hardly wait for the fun to begin.
④The highlight of the festival is the bridge worship ceremony(仪式). Villagers come together under the guidance of the elders to honor the bridge and celebrate their heritage(传统).
⑤Many tourists come to experience the traditional festival. During the daytime celebrations, the village square is filled with the happy music of the lushing as villagers and visitors dance together. Tourists take pictures and make videos to remember the special moments.
⑥As night falls, villagers and tourists gather around a bonfire(篝火) in the square. They laugh and chat while sharing stories and delicious food. It's a great time to make new friends and enjoy the warm atmosphere(气氛).

Make a timetable
Decide what you're going to do at a certain time each day. A well-organized timetable can not only help you improve your working speed but also make you feel less stressed.
Choose a suitable time
Think about the time when you have the most energy during the day. Are you more energetic in the morning or afternoon? Do hard work when you feel good and leave simple one when you are tired.
Make lists
Write down when to do and what to do. I keep two to-do lists: one for aims of today and the other for the projects I'm working on. The lists remind me that I won't forget anything. They also help me pay more attention to the shorter list.
Give up something
Managing time sometimes means giving up doing something you like. When you're ready to start a new task, think carefully. Is it really worth spending your time? Could someone else do it instead?
As a saying goes, "Work smarter, not harder." If you want to make full use of your time, make a plan and stick to it.
