Candy Wang is a nineteen-year-old Asian pop star. But last time when I interviewed her, she told me she used to be really shy. As she got better at singing, she dared to sing in front of her class and even the whole school. Now she loves singing and becomes very famous.

Candy found that her life changed a lot after she became famous. Of course, there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. But there are also many bad things. For example, she always had to worry about how she appeared to others and to be very careful about what she said or did.

What was the worst, she didn’t have much private time any more.

I’m Mary. I'm talking to you from the Hilltop School Skating Marathon. Here, students are skating to raise(募捐) money for charity(慈善). For every hour they skate, each student raises ten yuan for charity. The skating marathon has been going for five hours now, and several skaters are still skating. Alison was the first one to start and has been skating for the whole five hours. Next is Sam, and he has been skating for four hours. Lu Ning has been skating for four hours, too. And Li Chen just started an hour ago.

Food is very important. Everyone needs to eat well if he or she wants to have a strong body. Our minds(头脑) also need a kind of food. This kind of food is knowledge.

We begin to get knowledge even when we are very young. Small children are interested in everything around them. They learn something while they are watching and listening. When they are getting older, they begin to read story books, science books …, anything they like. When they find something new, they love to ask questions and try to find out answers. What is the best way to get knowledge? If we learn by ourselves, we will get the most knowledge. If we are always getting answers from others and do not ask why, we will never learn well. When we study in the right way, we will learn more and understand better.
