Hello, My name is Dale. I'm 13 years old. This is a photo of my family. Look! This is my father. His name is Tim Brown. He is 45 years old. This is my mother Alice. She is 43 years old. I have a sister and her name is Gina. She is 11 years old. I look like (长得像)my mother and Gina looks like my father. All my family are in the same school. My parents are teachers. They are friendly (友好的) to the students, so the students love them very much. My sister and I are students and we love our school.

A Teacher's Gift

    That day I arrived at my class in the morning. Immediately I felt upset and uncomfortable. Today was the day when our teacher would leave and move to another school.

    Mr. Smith was very easy to talk with and to have fun with. He was cool, relaxed, and was always friendly when you would see him. I couldn't even imagine how things were going to be without him.

    "Thank you everyone for my time here. I will forever keep these memories and friendships I've made in the past five years." He took a deep breath and said," As a moment for me leaving, please look under your seats."

    Confused, I slowly checked under my seat to see a yellow block of wood that read "Love" on it .I quickly got it and began to study it. After seconds of watching the block, I realized that it was a Jenga block（积木块）

    Tears ran down my face and fell on the Jenga block. I heard my classmates sobbing（抽泣）That was to say, everyone in my class had a Jenga block with the word "Love". We hadn't found a way to express our sadness and also we couldn't find a way to express our love to the respectable man. "This is a reminder to always love others." Mr. Smith said slowly.

    Maybe that day wasn't the worst day, and it was just a moment of my life and l was too young to understand Mr. Smith. What Mr. Smith taught us is that whenever and wherever we are. We should love others. The Jenga block acts as a reminder, encouraging me to give a hand to those in need of help. As time goes on, "Love" others has been a habit

 Some Ways for a Happier Life

 Here are some scientifically proven but simple ways to get happiness. 

★{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. 

 Whether lending a hand or offering a handout, giving to others can make you feel better. A study from the University of British Columbia found that people who spent money on gifts for others or gave to charity reported being happier than people who spent money on themselves. Volunteering can make you feel good, too. Giving your time to help others may lead to better health. 

★Listen to music. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . 

 According to the research from the University of Missouri, it works well if you actively try to be happier when you' re listening. Scientists from University of London also found that people who listened to relaxing music are likely to look brighter than it actually was. 

★Keep a diary. It's really good to write down your feelings. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} . 

 Little things like a nice cup of tea, watching a pretty bird in the garden or a phone call from a friend are worth thanking, according to Californian researchers. 

★Go outdoors. Lots of studies have found being outside makes you feel relaxed. If it's a green space, even if it's just your local park, that's better still. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . According to a University of Sussex and LSE study, researchers asked people to number their happiness levels on an app and being by the sea on a warm weekend day came out top.
