The healthier our teeth are, the happier we look. Some of us have tooth problems, so we don’t want to meet other people much. And we may smile or talk less.
A dentist from Beijing shares some oral health tips with us.
●It’s best to brush your teeth every day. You should brush your teeth for three to five minutes at a time, two to three times a day.
●Use dental floss (牙线)If you have straight teeth, then using dental floss once a week is enough. If not, use it every day but not too often.
●Go to the dentistMy front teeth are not straight. When I take photos, I don’t give big smiles. I’m afraid that my classmates will laugh at me. If I had straight teeth like other people, I would be very happy. |

【推荐1】One evening, Zhang Luyang was working on her math homework. The 12-year-old girl from Sichuan Province opened Tik Tok, known as Douyin, to watch some short videos. She just wanted to take a short break, but half an hour later, she was still watching short videos.
Zhang Luyang is one of many teenagers who enjoy watching short videos on apps like Douyin. The videos usually last from 15 seconds to 5 minutes. According to a survey by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China, 20 percent of the teenagers watch short videos during their free time. About 10 percent check short video apps several times a day.
Sun Zhenyao, a 14-year-old boy from Anhui, says he likes short videos because they are interesting. “It’s the perfect thing to do when I want to kill time”, he said. However, the more time he spends on the short videos, the worse his eyes are.
Zhang Luyang says she can learn a lot by watching short videos. She follows a Chinese vlogger living in the US on Douyin. The vlogger enjoys doing funny things, like selling pancakes on the street, inviting foreigners to watch The Wandering Earth. “His videos teach me about cultural differences.”
These days many apps like Douyin offer a “teenager mode(模式)”. In this mode, teenagers are allowed to play for no more than 40 minutes each time and if they want to play more or watch the videos between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., they should ask their parents for password(密码).

There are many festivals in Australia. The most important one is Christmas. Each year, the summer holidays at every high school last about two months from the beginning of December to February, which covers the Christmas time. Since it is a long holiday, most foreign students in Australia love to fly back to their home countries to spend the time with their families and friends, but a few students still stay in Australia during the holiday to get part-time jobs. It is quite easy to find a part-time job at Christmas.
Students often take part in another major social activity. They go to the beach to have fun in the sunshine. The summer in Australia is from December to February, so going to the beach in December is very popular among Australians.
Easter in March is another important holiday in the year. It actually combines "Good Friday" and "Easter Monday". Almost every shop closes on Good Friday. And people usually go to see Easter Show.
The Chinese new year is not a public holiday in Australia, so every Chinese student still has to go to school to study and do his or her normal duties.

“If you don’t believe, I’ll call the police.” is a lie that parents might use to get their young children to behave. A new psychological(心理学的)study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore suggests that it has a relationship with harmful results when the children become adults.
The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children, how much they lie to their parents as adults, and how well they deal with adulthood challenges.
The first questionnaire(问卷)asked these young adults to recall(回忆)if their parents told them lies about eating, leaving or staying, spending money and so on. Some examples of such lies are “If you don’t come with me now, I will leave you here by yourself and “I don’t bring money with me today, we can come back another day”. Most of them filled in “Yes”. The second questionnaire included questions that could show how often they lie to their parents when they become adults. Adults who were lied to as children were more likely to lie to their parents when they grow up. They also said it was much more difficult for them when meeting psychological and social challenges.
Lead author Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapore’s School of Social Sciences said, “Parenting by lying can seem to save time, especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something are difficult to explain. When parents tell children that honesty is the best rule, but display dishonesty by lying, such behavior can send wrong messages to their children. Parents’ dishonesty may finally destroy trust and encourage dishonesty in children.”
Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has negative influence on children when they grow up. Parents should understand these possible risks and think of other ways to replace lying, such as knowing children’s feelings, giving specific information so children know what to expect, offering choices and solving problems together, to encourage children to have good behavior, said lead author Setoh Peipei.

Introduction | Parents’ using lies to make their children behave will |

Results | They faced greater difficulty when meeting psychological and social challenges. Some guests are with the sound proofing(隔音)and the dirty house. |
Opinions | It’s hard to explain the reasons why parents lie to their children. |
Parents should understand these possible risks and use correct ways instead of lying during parenting. Otherwise, trust between them would disappear and children would certainly learn dishonesty from them. |

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”. I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves because of a limited vocabulary. Obviously,the better answer is to enlarge their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive(积极的). Others will follow you as long as(只要)you use the words that you know.
Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY(流利性)NOT ACCURACY(准确性). Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using them to get your message across(使别人了解你的信息) . But to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and forgive you for any mistakes he hears.
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All the hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, most Chinese students are somewhat passive language learners. Instead of actively looking for opportunities (机会)to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you are active language learners, then, you will see English chances wherever you go.
If you do not use your English beyond the classroom, you will forget that English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.

【推荐2】“I didn’t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Wu Jun, a middle school student. Do you have the same problem?
One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he or she likes worrying about things. They do a lot for you, though something will make you angry. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get and so on. They expect you to grow up healthily and happily.
So how can you make things easier on your own? It’s easier than you think. You should just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you. In this way you can get on well with your parents.
