Stay connected
Zhao Yuchen,13,Beijing
To me, the biggest headache about studying online is my poor internet connection (连接). During one online class, I couldn’t hear my English teacher’s voice and I had to reconnect. It took lots of time. Since then, I have checked my connection before class every day and asked my family member not to use the internet while I’m in class.
Improve self-discipline(自律 )
Qiu Ziyin,13, Shenzhen
During the first day of studying online, I was excited and listened carefully. But I found that my teacher had no idea what I was doing at home. I found that myself-discipline was weak.Since then, I’ve set screen (屏幕) time for all of my electronic devices (电子设备). When I’m resting, I walk around my house. At night, I try not to play with my mobile phone and do preview (预习) work for the next day.
Find the right courses(课程 )
Zhao Jiawen,14,Shanghai
It’s important to know how to choose wisely when we pick online courses. For example, I had difficulty understanding certain (某些) English grammar points, so I searched (搜索) for key words on our national cloud learning platform and watched several videos from teachers across China. It is good for us to get different teachers. I think previewing subjects and finding the right courses are the most important factors(因素) when studying online.

【推荐2】Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to go wrong, and nothing seemed to go right? Not too long ago I was having one of those days. My job didn’t go on well and I was disappointed and sad. So I visited my mother and hope to get some comfort from her. Instead, she said “I heard Jamie was having a difficult day too. Why don’t you make her some cookies and we’ll take them to her this afternoon?”
I didn’t really want to, but what else could I do at that moment? I made the cookies and put them on a little plate. Then I made a card with a sunflower on it and wrote a small note.
Then I went to Jamie’s door and rang the bell. Soon she came to the door. Before she could say anything, I said, “I heard you were having a hard day and decided to bring you something. I hope your day goes better.” Her look at that time was always in my head: a dark sky was suddenly shone; and her day became bright again.
I got back into the car and for some amazing reason, I felt a lot better myself. Suddenly I remembered a saying from a famous writer which goes, “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.”

【推荐3】A cafe owner has been delivering (递送) free soup for one year to a stranger going through chemotherapy (化疗). He serves up much more than meals — he has spent the last year serving up kindness to a stranger who loved his cooking. Juan Carlos runs JC’s Cafe. In addition to making coffee, the 49-year-old man is famous for serving up many delicious soups. Noah is just one of the local people who adore his soups. Being in poor health, Noah has been depending on the soups as a valuable source of nutrition (营养) throughout his chemotherapy treatments.
Juan learned of Noah’s health problems sometime last year after he saw a neighbor’s Facebook post about the man’s condition — and his love for the cafe’s soups. Juan filled up a few cups of fresh soup at once and brought them to Noah’s house. Noah was surprised to find Juan on his doorstep with food in hand — and he was even more shocked when Juan told him not to worry about payment.
Ever since that first meeting, Juan has been delivering free soup to Noah’s house as often as four times per week for the last year.
“I really feel it when other people are in pain,” Juan said. “I felt that I could help him at least by delivering the soup that he likes, with the nutrition that is going to help him.” Though Noah’s friends are now trying to raise money for his next round of chemotherapy treatments, he says that Noah’s kindness has been a very helpful kind of treatment for his illness.
“I think he’s a great human,” said Noah.

People all over the world are now taking action to fight against the COVID-19. Wearing a mask has been so necessary for everyone’s health and safety.
In China, for example, when doctor Wu Jiande invented the modern medical mask during the pncumonia plgguc(肺鼠疫) in 1910, the mask became a symbol of China’s position as a modern, scientific nation. Many years later in 1934, another global flu(流感) spread all over the world, Asians again noticed the importance of the masks. They’re really good for humans’ health and safety.
The Asian Flu Pandemic of 1957 spread throughout China, eventually reaching from Singapore to Hong Kong. It killed somewhere between 1~4 million people.

In Asian countries like China and Japan, there has been a long tradition of mask-wearing, In Japan, wearing masks makes others feel safe when one catches a cold or flu. Some Japanese also turn masks into fashion, with different colors and patterns to match their clothes. Wearing masks is also a way to “hide”for young women when they don’t have their makeup on.

Culture is always regional(区域的). In the West, people are taught to wear masks only when they get sick. According to a survey done by Global Times among some European and American people, wearing a mask in public can make them feel “worried”, “shy”, and “afraid of being looked at differently.” Overseas Chinese students said that they would be “stared at like a virus spreader” if they went out with a mask.

【推荐1】Because of COVID-19, students couldn’t go to school. As schools tried to prepare for the new term, they found a new way of teaching: live streaming.
While teachers were giving lessons in their own homes, students were watching them on their computers at home. The online class was just like the offline one. The teacher could ask questions and communicate with the students. Some Apps even make it possible for the teacher to see the students. If someone didn’t listen carefully, the teacher could even point the camera at him or her, like calling him or her out in front of the whole class. The whole experience was like that in a real classroom.
Many students liked the online classes because they were more interesting.Then did all the people have the same idea? Actually, some people didn’t think it was a good idea. In their opinion, some students didn’t listen carefully and it wasn’t easy for each teacher to give lessons in this way. Many elder teachers found it difficult to teach through their mobile phones.
As a new way of teaching, live streaming (直播) has its advantages. Unlike traditional classrooms, online ones allow teachers and students to share resources (资源) more easily. They also allow teachers to use more technologies.
It’s hoped that more technologies enter classrooms and make teaching more efficient (有效率的). Even if everybody has to stay indoors, people can still work, have classes and do most things at home.
