A one-day event gave me a chance to see how farming is all about. After a two-hour drive, we reached countryside. The fresh air and open land made me excited, but I quickly threw me into hands-on work in the fields. Following some farmers instructions, I did the work for the whole afternoon. It included harvesting crops, tie them up and moving them to a warehouse (仓库). As the Chinese poem is goes, every grain on the plate come from hard work. I now understand how farther it travels from the farm to the plate. I’ll value food and not be too particular in it any more.

I woke up the other day when hearing a phone call from taxi driver who had my friend's cell phone. My friend has apparently left it in the cab the night before. The driver had called the others, but I was the first one who answered the phone. It was a rainy morning, that for cab drivers is a very busy time. The cab driver asked him where he could give the cell phone for me. I asked him to go to the place where I lived. Then I quickly jumped out of bed, put on my cloth and told the cab driver I'd meet him on the corner of the street.

When I met the taxi driver, I thanked him for have such a kind heart. My friend recent moved here from another country and I can imagine how importance his cell phone is to him!

Do you have trouble sleeping at night? When you worry about get to sleep and keep tossing and turning around, trying to find a comfortable position, you’re probable only making matters worse. What happens when you do that is that your heart rate actually increase, making it more difficult to relax.

You may also have some bad habit that contribute to the problem. All of these might be leading your sleeplessness interfering with your body’s natural clock. How should you do, then, on those sleepless nights? Don’t bother with sleeping pills, that can actually make it worse later. The best thing to do so is to drink milk or eat cheese. These are all rich in a kind of acid and help producing a chemical in the brain that controls sleep. Try to help yourself relax, but you’ll be on your way to getting a good night’s sleep.

I apply to be one of the host family for the Chinese students.

Built in a attractive neighborhood, our large house meet their needs. Our car can take them to some places of interesting. With a good command of Chinese, I’ll have no difficulty communicate with them. Above all, we hosted two British students last year, through that we’ve gained many experience. In addition to, they’ll enjoy Chinese food as my mother has wonderful cooking skills. I would greatly appreciate if I could have the chance to host him.

Looking forward to your reply.

As the saying goes, “Friendship is like sunshine what keeps us warm and helps us grow.” I think it is important for us to making good friends so that we can always have a fun. I like to choose people who are kind, honesty and helpful as my friends. I like to share my thoughts and fears them whenever I get into trouble.

Now I have some good friends who trusts me. I always care about what had happened to them, because I call them once a week. I always go out with my friends, chatting and play. I try to offer some advices to my friends when necessary. In this way I am able to keep friendship.

Are home visits necessary when they are so many ways to communicate with the students’ parent? Some people are for home visits. They thought home visits will make it easily for parents and teachers to communicate and work more closely to help students learn. Home visits will give teachers a chance to better understanding their students. Besides, others think it is a waste of the time and energy to pay home visits. If they keep on touch with the students’ parents with text messages, QQ or E-mails, it will be more convenient and save a lot of time. Personally, I think home visits is positive, and teachers can educate their students effectively through home visits.
