【推荐1】These days, we can watch a video (视频). In the video, it’s difficult for lots of village children in Yunnan to go to school. The children have to get up at five or six and then walk a very long way to go to school. It usually takes them about two hours to get to school. At that time, it is still dark. They are in great danger when they walk in the dark.

It’s also difficult for many other children to go to school. Can you remember a photo, the “Snowflake(冰花) Boy?” The boy’s name is Wang Fuman and many people know him from the photo. In the photo, we can see the boy in the classroom, with a red face and much ice on his head. To get to school, he has to walk for a long time every morning.

       With the help of many kind people, now these children have new classrooms to study in and nice dormitories to live in. “Our classroom is really great. I can live in the school, so I don’t have to go home every day,” Wang says. Wang also has a new house. Now he lives in it happily with his parents, grandmother and sister.

【推荐1】Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.

When I was a teenager, I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it, too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish.

On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles, I was thinking, “I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment, I said to myself, “I am never doing this again!” That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and walked. At times, I didn’t know if I could finish. Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare ourselves to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up on running races, and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-old men who were still running.

As I crossed the finishing line, I was proud of myself. I didn’t regret having such an experience.
