Three years ago, I went on a vacation in Paris, France.

One day, I went to a restaurant to have lunch, but there were no more free tables there. Then an old woman said, “You can sit with me.” I thanked her and sat down with the kind woman.

After the lunch, she asked me how I would spend the vacation in Paris. I told her I would take a taxi to go out, although it was a little expensive.

“My dear, don’t use any more taxis,” said the woman. “I’m retired (退休的) and I can drive you to any place you want.”

I told her I couldn’t trouble her too much, but she disagreed and asked me where I was staying and the next morning she came to my hotel. She drove me to the Eiffel Tower and then left after staying with me for some time. At the end of the day, she came back to take me back to my hotel. I gave her money, but she refused.

That wonderful woman made my short vacation in Paris great. I will never forget her.

Hello, my friends! Nice to meet you! My name is Bing Dwen Dwen. I’m the mascot(吉祥物) of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games. I’m a black and white panda. I have big eyes, a small nose and a small mouth. My arms and legs are short. What is it on my left hand? Haha, it is a heart pattern(心形图案) to welcome friends all over the world to come to China.

Who is that? It is my good friend, Shuey Rhon Rhon. It is the mascot of the Paralympic Winter Games(冬残奥会). It looks like a red lantern. It has two small eyes. Its arms and legs are short, too. We are very cute.

A rich woman is so proud of a valuable antique vase (古董花瓶) that she decides to have her bedroom painted the same color as the vase. Several painters try to mix the color right, but none comes close enough to satisfy the woman.

Finally, the ninth person comes. He is a painter named Wilson. He is confident that he can mix the proper color. The woman is pleased with the result, and Wilson becomes famous. Years later, he retires and turns the business over to his son. “Dad,” asks the son, “there’s something I’ve got to know. How did you get those walls to match the vase so perfectly?”

“Son,” Wilson replies, “I painted the vase.”

As the important document called “double reduction” (双减) policy was carried out by the Chinese government on July 24, 2021. Some parents worry that the policy (政策) will lead to worse grades because students will have less time to study and get less help from after-school training classes. However, most of students support the policy. Here are their ideas.

A new study found that lots of kids hate school. Usually this kind of feeling doesn’t last long. But what will happen if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let’s talk about school and what to do when you don’t like it.

If you don’t like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don’t have enough friends, or maybe you are not good with your teachers. Sometimes there’s a big problem with your schoolwork. Too many subjects and too much homework make you worried. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like you’ll never catch up.

When you know why you don’t like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It’s a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Remember, your mum, dad or teachers can always help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It’s a great way to let out emotions（情绪）. Remember, you don’t have to share what you’ve written with others.
