【推荐1】Students in the US don't begin their spring break at the same time. It depends on where they live. While students from one town are on vacation, their neighbors in the next town may have classes as usual.
You may have heard of it from many hit US TV shows and movies. It's usually in the middle of March, when characters on shows like Gossip Girl get a week off from classes, go to the beach and throw big parties. It's spring break or “party time”!
Unlike our semester, which starts in late February or early March this year, American schools begin as early as January. So in late March and April, most American schools, ranging from kindergartens to colleges, give students one to two weeks off school.
College students often take planes to places like Florida or Cancun, Mexico.
Younger kids take trips with their parents, visiting a new state or even a new country. Sometimes teachers lead overseas trips for groups of students. On a ten-day trip, for example, students may go on a tour through Spain, France, and Italy, which gives them a great chance to see different parts of the world.
Having a “staycation”, which means being a tourist in your own city, is another popular trend(趋势). You can visit local art galleries(美术馆), museums or have a big meal in a nice restaurant.
For those who are not in the mood to go out, spring break is a good time to catch up with hit TV series or play video games.
There are also students who want a different kind of spring break experience. Instead of partying, they choose to do community service, help with disaster-hit areas and do other volunteering work.
No matter how they've spent the break, one thing is for sure—students return to school feeling refreshed and ready to finish the school year.

【推荐2】Do you have a special talent or skill that only few people enjoy? If so, you might want to go to Christchurch, New Zealand, for the World Buskers Festival, one of the biggest and most popular street festivals in the world.
January is summertime in New Zealand, and the entertainment (娱乐活动) takes place outside. However, this is not the typical outdoor music concert or festival you have known. The buskers-people who perform in the streets and in other public places-bring the city to life with surprising entertainment.
The event begins in late January and attracts around 300,000 visitors every year with about 500 performances. The performances include the circus (马戏表演), magic acts, street dancing and singing and other crazy forms of entertainment.
One of the best things about the festival is how well it attracts the whole family, from the youngest to the oldest. Laughs are everywhere, especially when unprepared visitors are asked to become a part of the performance.
The festival director says, “We have performers from all over the world. Most of the performances are free, so you can bring your family and spend a whole day here.”

September is a big month for students in China since the new term begins from now on. In ancient China, the school entrance ceremony (入学典礼) was one of the most important ceremonies.
Children began school between the ages of 4-7 in ancient China. Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and four treasures of the study.
In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher.
On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in the First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow (叩头) to the statue of Confucius (孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect (尊敬). During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead (前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would also ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student.
Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for future Imperial Examination (科举考试).
Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on traditional costumes and bow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment, they take a step in the lifelong journey of learning.

One of the middle schools in Chongqing starts a mentor（导师）rule. That means some excellent parents and graduates（毕业生）can be mentors, in order to give students helpful advice on career（生涯的） planning, study problems and so on. The students in Verakin High School are having a hot discussion about the rule. Some say YES while others say NO. Here are some of the students’ ideas about having a mentor.
Fan Xiaoyu,13
As teenagers, we always have trouble in our lives. Our parents and teachers hope that we can solve them by ourselves. But for many reasons, we can’t easily work them out. So it becomes quite necessary for us to have a mentor when we need help. By having communication with mentors in person, we can find the key to solving problems.
Zhou Ziqian, 13
Because I once had a mentor, I think this rule is great. Mentors are not like teachers. They can bring students very personal advice and help. For example, my mentor always listens to me carefully and then gives me help.
Tan Yixuan, 14
On the one hand, it’s embarrassing （尴尬的） for students to talk about their personal problems. In fact, not everyone is ready to be bothered（打扰）by others’ problems. On the other hand, there is a gap（代沟）between students and their mentors. Even if students share their problems, mentors may not understand them well and give helpful advice.
Ge Jiarui, 14
Maybe learners can get useful advice from experienced mentors. But in fact, the more experience you learn from others, the less creative you will be. We should learn everything from our own experiences. I would like to have a life journey of my own with my own ideas better than having a mentor at school.
