Children are the future of our world. The healthy development of them is important to any country. The world has long been looking for ways to support children’s healthy development. As for that, the Child Friendly Cities Initiative (《儿童友好城市倡议》), CFCI for short, provides us with a good way forward.
CFCI is an initiative started by UNICEF and UN-Habitat in 1996. The initiative calls on people to build a city in which children can grow up healthily and safely and make their voices heard. The initiative has made a big difference worldwide since it started. Now, there are about 1,000 child friendly cities in the world.
Many cities in China have also shown their interest in joining the initiative. Shenzhen is one of the first cities in China that are trying to go child friendly. The city came up with an initiative called “seeing the world from a height of one meter”. It calls on society to see the world from the perspective (角度) of children and hear their voices. The city has opened up many child friendly spaces like reading rooms and playgrounds. Along with improving children’s living conditions, Shenzhen has also started child friendly radio lines and programs to let children share their opinions.
Building child friendly cities shows our wish for the healthy and happy growth of children. China plans to build 100 child friendly cities by 2025. We hope that all the children can grow up healthily and happily.

【推荐2】Rob Frenette had problems with bullies at school for eleven years. He was often lonely and scared. When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences. They also wanted to hear his ideas to stop bullying.
After that, Rob continued his studies at school, but in his free time he helped other people with bullying problems. With a friend Katie Neu, he made a website called www.bullyingcanada.ca. Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying, in both English and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team. Every weekend Rob has to answer e-mails to the website. He also speaks to children, teachers and members of government around the country about bullying.
Rob’s most important message is: “When bullies are unkind to you, it isn’t your fault. There’s nothing wrong with you, so you should try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that people care about your problems. You just have to find those people.”
One of Rob’s ideas is “Blue Day”, a special day for stopping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue clothes and in class they learn how to stop bullying. More than 150 Canadian schools now celebrate Blue Day, but Rob won’t stop until there’s a Blue Day in every school in Canada.

【推荐3】New York City is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move on their way to work and school?
In New York you can travel around the city by underground, bus, taxi and car. The underground train runs on the railway lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes to all parts of the city. Travelling by underground is the fastest way to get around the city.
The second way to travel around the city is by bus. It is a slower way to travel. This is because the bus moves on the road on which traffic is often heavy.
You can also travel around the city by taxi. This is very expensive, but the taxi will take you to every place you wish to go to. If traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons, there are rush hours. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and back from work.
The last way to get around New York is using your own car. It is inconvenient(不方便的)since you will perhaps be driving in the rush hour. If there is an accident on the road, you will have to wait for a long time.
The best time to travel around the city is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This is the time after the morning rush hour and before the afternoon rush hour. Traffic will be less crowded during this time since most people are already at work or at home.

Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can’t open the window. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to get out of the airport and into the city.
I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.
I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.
1. People like to travel by plane because they can have food in the plane.2. When you travel by car, you can start at any time.
3. If you want to take a lot of things with you, you’d better take the train.
4. It doesn’t take you much time if you travel by car.

【推荐3】“Art does not solve problems, but tells us their existence,” famous Polish sculptor（雕塑家） Magdalena Abakanowicz once said. “Arts education, on the other hand, does solve problems.”
The high school entrance exams for Chinese Junior 3 students are mainly about academic subjects, such as math and Chinese. But starting from 2022, they will be tested in areas like music and art.
On Oct 16, the Ministry of Education (MOE) said that fine arts will be included in high school entrance exams in more provinces and cities by 2022. Twelve cities in six provinces have already started the practice, including Nanjing and Qingdao. The scores for these subjects are from 10 to 40 points.
This is being done to encourage primary and secondary schools to provide more fine arts classes. They should cover subjects such as music, painting, calligraphy（书法）, dance, drama and opera, The Paper noted.
“Aesthetic（艺术的） education is not just about teaching students how to paint, sing or dance—it’s about the ability to appreciate artistic beauty, which is very important for students’ mental health,” Fan Di’an, president of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, told China Daily.
However, the change has caused heated discussion. Many students and their parents worry about this new policy will bring too much extra work. They think that since students already have heavy academic workloads , adding new testing material would make things worse.
It was also pointed out that not every student would be talented enough to be good at these subjects. “It’s really hard for tone-deaf people like me to remember melodies. So I need to do extra practice before music tests,” Zhao Hanfang, a 15-year-old student from Yunnan, told newspapers. “So if music is included in the high school entrance exams, I might be too much stressed.”
In response to this, Jiangsu authorities said that the tests would be based on basic knowledge that comes from the students’ textbooks. The extra workload will not be difficult and shouldn’t put too much pressure on students, China Business Herald noted.

Japan is one of the cleanest countries in the world. What are its secrets?
In Japan, people have to pay for their garbage. If they have a lot, or their garbage is difficult to treat, they have to pay more. They also have to pay for things they no longer need, like old TVs and fridges. This makes people think before they throw away.
There are few garbage cans in Japanese streets. People take their garbage home and sort through it carefully. They also have different ways of treating different kinds of garbage. People turn old chopsticks into paper. They burn some garbage to make fertilizer(肥料). People even use garbage to make more land area.
Japan has set a good example to the rest of the world. If people in every country did the same, we would be able to do something about our environmental problem.
What can we do to help the environment? Here are some ideas.
Reduce!
Check it out. Buy products with less packaging (包装).
Buy less and create less garbage. We shouldn’t buy things we don’t need.
Reuse!
Be creative and make use of garbage. For example, you can make a photo frame(边框) out of buttons, and other small pieces of garbage.
Recycle!
Ask your family and friends to use recycled products.
Be helpful. Is there a recycling center near your home? If so, ask your family and neighbors to recycle.
