【推荐1】When you are learning English, you find it not clever to translate an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence "How do you do?" for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language. Languages don't just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It's important to master(掌握) the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener can't understand the speaker's sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change between the two pairs of sentences: "She only likes apples." "Only she likes apples." "I have seen the film already." "I have already seen the film."

When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speakers do.

Do you ever feel like you are just running from one activity to another? In school, do you hurry from one subject to another? When things happen so fast, it’s easy to get lost of what you’re doing or learning. It’s important to stop yourself now and then to think about what you are doing or learning.

Self-reflection (反省) means slowing down and calming yourself down, including calming your mind. By being calm and not going quickly, you give your brain chance to think about what you have learned. Some people like to do self-reflections only in their mind. Others write down in diaries or notes. Both of the ways work, depending on your own personal learning. You can follow the steps to do self-reflection.

First, choose the proper time to do it. School textbooks are usually divided into units of study. This makes it easier to begin self-reflection. Look for time when you finish a unit of study. Sometimes you know the unit is over because there is some kind of test. Use these natural breaks to stop and do self-reflection.

Then, find a quiet place and take out your reflection diary. Write down some notes on the new things that you have learned in the unit. Let your mind think about the notes you’ve written before and make some connections (联系).

Finally, think about things that you’re not sure of. Maybe you learned a new way to work out a math problem, but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.

Self-reflection is important for a successful student. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.

As the global pandemic（流行病）speeds up, many are wondering about the effectiveness of masks and when it’s proper to wear them. Most people from the East believe that wearing a mask is important to control the spread of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP新冠肺炎). But people in the West generally would argue that, unless one is already ill, wearing a mask is unnecessary.

In Eastern countries like China, mask-wearing has a long history in their cultures. In fact, people in the East wear masks not just to protect themselves from illness but also for a variety of other reasons.

In many Asian countries, masks are worn in many situations in daily life, such as doing housework or visiting patients in the hospital. They can give people the comfort of being protected.

In recent years, they are worn simply for beauty. Young people in Japan, for example, wear masks as a fashion statement, expressing their personal style through unique designs and patterns.

In Asia, wearing a face mask is also an expression of group-oriented values（集体主义）.

Wearing a mask, one becomes part of a giant group. “People communicated their responsibilities to the social group of which they were members,” wrote Peter Baehr, a research professor in social theory at Lingnan University, Hong Kong.

In Western countries, however, individual values are the most important.

As a citizen, it is one’s duty to prevent the spread of illness in following ways, such as washing one’s hands and limiting one’s contact with others. A face mask is kept only for those showing symptoms（症状）of illness.

Whether from the East or the West, social culture has played an important role in one’s decision about whether or not to wear a mask. That’s because human beings are social creatures who consider much about what other members of society think of us. The most important thing is to respect others’ opinions, no matter how different they are.

       In the opinion of many people, the two-parent family is the correct way to bring up children. Traditionally, this has been as the most natural way, but single-parent (单亲) families have had to face prejudices (偏见) against their lifestyle. However, the single parent family is the fastest growing type of family. In the United States,a national survey showed that at least 50% of children will be members of a single-parent family. So we think it is important to throw prejudices away and to see the advantages of single-parent families.
       Compared to two parent families, single-parent families are usually at a disadvantage in some ways. They are often in short of money, and children receive less attention. What’ s more, single parents can find themselves under too much pressure of both work and home. Although there are such disadvantages,it is possible for single-parent families to look for support from friends, schools, communities or other organizations. They need to remember that nobody can do it alone.
       Surprisingly, single-parent families also have some advantages over two parent families. Single parents have greater flexibility (灵活性) in spending time with children, because they don’t have to consider the needs of a husband or wife. So they can develop closer relationships with their children. Another advantage comes from the fact that single parents often work together with their children to solve problems, which makes children feel more needed and valued.
       It’s important to remember that single-parent families have, until now received prejudices from some people. They think that it’s easier for the children in single-parent families to drop out of school in teens,and to be jobless in their early twenties. But, with the support from friends, schools and communities, single parent families become more accepted by society, and this situation is certain to improve. In the future we will probably see these prejudices disappear.

The first day the boy drove 37 nails into the fence. Then it began to become less. He found it was easier to control his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy should now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to control his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
