Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and made progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.
But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing? What separates(区分)successful people from dreamers is their persistent(锲而不舍的)action. When you learn your lessons at school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying. And you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
This is the famous formula(公式)for success:
Dream→Believe→Achieve
Most people have what they want(Dream)and think they can realize their dreams(Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired of waiting and lose a lot, they say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula:
Dream→Believe→Act→Achieve
For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action(Act). If you say“I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable(有价值的). However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.

【推荐3】You may feel you’re most comfortable at home, but there are dangers, too. You may get a cut from a kitchen knife or burn your hand when taking something from the oven. Usually, you can treat these common injuries at home.
Before touching the wound, wash your hands carefully with soap and water. This helps get any dirt off your hands. I’m sure you don’t want to add dirt to the wound that may infect(感染)it later.
If the wound is bleeding, you’ll need to stop it. Just press a clean cloth(布) on the wound. While keeping the wound covered, lift it above the level of your heart. This helps stop the bleeding.
Once the bleeding has stopped, you need to wash the wound. Do this by holding the cut under running water. The water will help wash dirt out of the wound. Once the wound is clean, wash the skin around it with soap and water. Lightly press the area with a clean cloth to dry the area.
Get protection. Use some medicine on the wound. This helps keep the wound clean and keep infection away. Then cover the wound for protection. This cover is sometimes called a dressing. Every day, you need to reuse the medicine and change the dressing.
Watch for infection. When you change the dressing, look for signs of infection in the wound, such as swelling (肿), redness, and more pain. As time goes by, your wound will develop a scab (痂). That’s the natural way it protects itself.
Sometimes you’ll need to see your doctor to treat a wound. For example, the wound won’t stop bleeding or you can’t get all the dirt out of it.

【推荐1】Qingming Festival is a traditional Chinese festival for family to pay respect (尊敬) to their ancestors (祖先). People visit their ancestors’ grave sites and offer food, drinks and flowers. There are some Chinese poems showing Chinese history and culture through ancient expressions. Here we look at one of the classic poems in the history of Chinese literature:
A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day;
The mourner’s heart is going to break on his way.
Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours?
A cowherd points to a cot amid apricot flowers.
In China, around the time of Qingming Festival, there is more rain. The poet is traveling far away from home on these rainy days. The rain and lonely walks lead to the separation of the soul (灵魂) and body, which adds a sad feeling to this poem. The writer, Du Mu describes a rainy scene in a village in the first two lines. Then in the last two lines, the poet wants to find a place to take a rest, drink some wine (酒) and get away from the sad feeling. Where can I find a good tavern? In the last line, a cowherd points to a direction (方向), which describes two people looking far ahead on the rainy day.
In this poem, Du Mu presents a village with apricot flowers around as the direction of the tavern. He doesn’t describe its feature on a rainy day but leaves it to the readers’ imagination.
Qingming is not only a sad festival, but can also be a happy time for people to enjoy the spring and get closer to nature in an outing. Trees are green and flowers are blooming, so it’s a good time to be outside.

【推荐3】Green is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. How to decide whether a product is green? Here is what we may keep in mind.
The materials of a product are usually our first focus. Green products are made of more natural materials which are free from harmful chemicals, so they can be good for our physical health.
Packaging is important. We’d better choose glass, metal and paper packaging, as these can be reused or more easily recycled. We can also look for less packaging or even choose unbagged products whenever possible.
Location (地点) matters. Think about how much energy was used to get it. To us, try to choose local products. When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from local farmer, shop at markets and buy fruits in season.
Look into what the company tells us about their product. It’s easy to say that a product is “green” or “all natural”, but the words may be too good to be true. So, much of the information about a product should be taken with a grain of salt.
Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store. It sends a message to the producer, keeps money in our pockets, reduces waste and keeps the planet healthy.
