【推荐1】Dumplings are traditional Chinese food. On the Lunar New Year’s Day, most families make a lot of delicious dumplings. To make them, we can follow these easy steps (步骤).

The first step is to mix the flour (面粉) with water. When the dough (面团) is ready, we can begin to make dumpling wrappers (薄皮). We roll the dough into small, thin and round pieces so that they can be easy to cook. Then it’s time to prepare the filling (馅), usually, we use meat such as beef or pork, and some vegetables for filling. Remember to cut these things into small pieces, put some salt and oil into it and mix them.

When all these are ready, we can start making dumplings. First put filling in the center of the wrappers. Then stick (粘) the two opposite sides together. The best shape of dumplings is like a ship.

【推荐2】To many students, joining social media “circles” is now more important than making new friends in real life. And it’s easy. If you have a mobile phone, you can download many apps such as Weibo, QQ and WeChat.

“I love to check my friends’ updates. I also enjoy news and jokes shared on social media,” said Wang Wei, 14, from a middle school in Shenzhen. While enjoying these, Wang distances himself from real life. “I love playing the plane-shooting game on WeChat, but have no interest in playing chess with my classmates,” said Wang.

Deng Yunyun, 14, from Xuhui Middle School in Shanghai, said that social media had influenced their normal lives. Last month, his school held a basketball match, and a student hurt his leg. Instead of giving him some help, students were busy updating their blogs about the accident, “I think they need to learn to balance their real and online lives, and what worries parents and teachers a lot is safety,” said Deng.

“Many students are happy to tell their interests and personal information to their social media ‘friends’. And this could bring them danger.” said Miss Wang, a teacher from Shenzhen. “For example, WeChat’s shake-shake function allows users to connect to other nearby users.” Also the police warn about the risks of making friends in this way.

“Be careful. Do not use the locating function at any moment, do not give your name, and do not post the photos of your community,” said Wang.
