【推荐1】I like travelling. I have been to many places, such as Beijing and Shanghai. Yet, I still have a wish - to go somewhere to experience differences and changes.
Thanks to the Belt and Road Initiative(一带一路), my mother’s university has a Polish Research Center. I got to meet a boy named Tomek. He came to China with his mother from Poland(波兰) this summer vacation. We were so excited to meet each other. He found it interesting to learn Chinese and Chinese culture. I even taught him some Ningbo dialect(方言). It was a fun experience for me.
Then I began to wonder how these two countries, thousands of kilometers apart, are able to be closely linked today. My mother told me it is because of the Belt and Road Initiative. More than 2,000 years ago, Chinese people explored and opened up routes of trade and cultural exchanges. This was called the Silk Road. In 2013, President Xi Jinping came up with the idea of building the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21^st Century Maritime Silk Road. It is a great project.
I live in Ningbo, which is s starting point for the maritime Silk Road. I want to to go to other countries taking part of the Belt and Road Initiative, including Russia, Pakistan and Poland. I want to make many friends like Tomek from these countries. I want to bring Chinese gifts to foreign friends and tell them stories about China. Also, I want to see the beautiful views around the world.

【推荐1】This Friday, across the US, kids are going to work with their parents instead of going to school. They can help their parents do some cleaning, send e-mails and etc. Because April 28 is Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day all over the US.

I still remember when this day started, I was very happy. But after only 40 minutes of driving around the city, I was very bored. I couldn't read my book in the car as I would get carsick（晕车）and my dad didn't like to turn on the radio. I got hot and uncomfortable. People wouldn't get into his taxi because they thought he already had a passenger: me--so nothing happened. It seemed years before we went out for lunch. In fact, I started to miss the school.

Although the purpose of the day is to give kids a chance to experience possible jobs in the future, I got something completely different from the day. I learned to value school life. Where else can you play with your friends, do science experiments and read great books all in one day?

You'll have to learn to love your job later in life, so learn to love school now. If you don't, try spending the day at work with your dad.

If you are interested in polar exploration, you must have heard of Roald Amundsen, the first explorer to reach the South Pole.

Born on July 16, 1872 in Norway, Roald grew up with his other three older brothers. His father, a businessman in the shipping industry, died when he was just 14. The teen had dreamt of becoming an explorer, but his mother wanted him to become a doctor. He followed his mother’s wish until she died when he was 21. Then Roald left school to go after his dream of exploring.

His adventure on a Belgian research ship in 1896 was his first real polar exploration. When the ship got trapped（使陷入困境）in ice, the people on board were forced to spend winter in terrible conditions. But Roald used his skills to find fresh food, and showed himself to be a capable explorer. This was perhaps one of the most important experiences that would lead to him becoming an Arctic（北极的）explorer.

Roald had planned to be the first man to reach and explore the North pole. However, hearing that Robert Peary had already reached there, Roald changed the plan and decided to go to the South Pole. In January 1911, Roald’s ship arrived at the Bay of Whales in Antarctica. His team set up camp there and prepared for the trip to the South Pole. They used sled dogs instead of horses and redesigned the sleds they would use. The team set out to reach the South Pole months later. At first, they traveled quickly, but soon they had to pass over mountains and avoid dangerous crevasses（裂口）. Finally, after nearly two months of hard traveling, on December 14, 1911, they reached the destination. The exploration took 99 days and the team traveled over 1,800 miles to the pole and back.
