Nov.16, 2023 20: 19We should pay attention to the importance of synonyms (同义词). A synonym is a word that has the same meaning as another. If you find you are using boring words, look for interesting synonyms you can use in their place. Amanda |
Nov.16, 2023 20: 24 I think the most useful way to improve your vocabulary and use the new words you have discovered is to use them in conversations. Julia |

【推荐1】Do you want to travel to space? Here is a piece of good news for you. The world’s first space travel agent started in the UK.
The agent will arrange flights, accommodations (住宿) and entertainment packages. It costs from $250,000 to $791,666. If you want to travel in space, you can go to visit bark. com.
“I’d like to be the first one who ever set foot on the Mars and I want to check it out whether there is water or life with my own eyes.” said Kate, who now works in the agent.
“I think it is many people’s dream to be an astronaut when they are young. And this is not the right job for everyone because it is very difficult to be an astronaut. But don’t worry. Our agent can give people the chance to have this experience for a few weeks.” said Kai Feller, CEO of bark. com.
“People can experience zero gravity and enjoy wonderful views of the Earth. They can also watch 16 sunrises and sunsets in a day.” said Franklin, the leader of the agent.

【推荐3】Smoking is harmful. But as soon as you give up the habit, everything will be OK, right? Wrong.
New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time.
In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed.
The process (过程) that smoking makes changes to your genes is called “methlation”. It affects how your genes act—whether they are turned on or turned off.
According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.
When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal in five years. This means your body is trying to cure itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years. It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥)—it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.
Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.
People who have just stopped smoking or are planning to do so shouldn’t feel bad about their choice either, because “the sooner you can stop smoking, the better you will be”, suggested Stephanie at National Institute of Environment Health Science.

Hey, guys! I’m going abroad!! This summer holiday, I’m gonna spend a week in Beijing with my family. But Beijing is a fresh new city to me.

Lovely Kim Wow! Good for you, man! I went to Beijing two years ago. It’s the most historical and beautiful city that I’ve ever seen. I still remember I stayed in Shichahai Shadow Art Performance Hotel at that time. The hotel is amazing with rooms mixing the shadow art and Chinese classical elements. You’re sure to learn something about Chinese opera culture with the help of the friendly Chinese people. |
Fiberman Hi, man! Now I am at the Southern Gong and Drum Lane in Beijing! It is one of the oldest streets where you can enjoy most traditional food in the restaurants, the best cheese in Wenyu Cheese shop, the sweetest rose cake at Miss Hat’s Cake, and my favorite mustard roasted wings at Guiwei. Check out my photos! |

【推荐3】Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids. But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let’s read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.
①Eat a variety of food, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition (营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.
②Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium (钙) to grow strong bones, you should drink at least three cups of milk, when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks (含糖饮料), like soda and coca. They include a lot of sugar. Sugar only includes calories (热量), not important nutrition.
③Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.
④Limit screen time. What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies and playing computer games. The more time you spend on these siting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports, like basketball and doing other activities like riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.
