Do you like English idioms(习语)? Today, I’d like to share some interesting idioms with you.

Turning Red, a wonderful movie set in the early 2000s, has become a hit on the Internet. It tells the story of a 13-year-old schoolgirl Mei and her mother.

Mei’s mother is very strict with her and she even wants to get into everything of Mei’s life. At the very beginning, Mei just did everything as what her mother told her to. She was afraid to say no to her mother and even couldn’t have her own ideas. Because she thought she wasn’t good enough, and if she couldn’t do well, she would let her mother down.

But something else colors Mei’s life. She finds that whenever her mother doesn’t care about her feelings or she feels angry, she turns into a huge red panda.

Luckily, Mei’s 3 best friends put themselves in her shoes and she finally gets to know that her mother also experienced Mei’s trouble many years ago and her mother just wants her daughter to lead a better life.

In the movie, Red stands for “anger” and we should learn that it is natural to show our true colors because many teenagers （青少年）have different feelings like anger or happiness during most of their waking hours. And parents should also learn to give their children a free hand, just as her mother says at the end of the film: The farther you go, the prouder I’ll be.

Guilin, lying in the northeast of Guangxi, enjoys a history of more than 2, 000 years. The city is known for its green mountains, pleasing rivers and fantastic caves（岩洞）. It has been believed that Guilin has the finest mountains and waters under heaven. And here are some of them.

The Lijiang River is a bright treasure among China’s beautiful mountains and rivers. It covers 84 kilometers from Guilin to Yangshuo, like a green silk scarf going through the mountains. For several thousand years, a great number of bookmen have lost themselves in it.

The Elephant Trunk（象鼻）Hill stands in the south of Guilin. The hill is a must-go place in Guilin and it is like a drinking elephant with its trunk in the river. If you see the space between the elephant’s trunk and body on the water, it is like a bright moon, for this reason it is named Water Moon Hole.

The Reed Flute Cave is one of the most eye-catching caves in Guilin. Along its 500-meter path forms a gallery（画廊）of pretty stalactites（钟乳石）with the most unusual colors. As a result, the cave is also known as a palace of natural art.

Have you ever heard the idea that you need eight glasses of water a day? In fact, it won’t make you brighter and it won’t make you feel clear. It might, however, make you have to go to the washroom a lot.

Many people don’t understand the biology（生物学）behind their bodies. The fact is that when you understand how your systems work, you’re able to make better decisions.

For the most part, your body will tell you when you need to drink water because you’ve got these wonderful and surprising things-kidneys （肾脏）. Your body is an environment where everything needs to be in a good balance（ 平衡）. If levels of anything get too high or too low， then it is the job of the kidneys to keep them just right.

Imagine you are running for a long time and you’re losing water, then it may lead to dehydration. And then you’ll do whatever you need to get some water. So thanks to your kidneys, your body is really good at keeping water.

But if you stop counting eight glasses of water a day, how much should you drink? The answer is: there is no should. In fact, everything you have has water—an apple has water, so does your breakfast. So as long as you’re thirsty, trust your body.
