At the beginning of May, I went to the Con Brio Sun Peaks Music Festival with my school bands.     1     It has attracted over 5, 000 musicians. I have looked forward to it for a long time.

We left our school early in the morning and set off to Sun Peaks, a beautiful village in British Columbia, in the west of Canada. Everyone was excited in the bus.     2     We checked in and got some rest in the hotel. We played some fun games and also had free time to buy souvenirs.

【推荐1】Do you live in a city? You've probably noticed how noisy and crowded cities can be. What if you could live next to a quiet lake or river instead?

As it turns out, living near water, such as oceans, lakes or rivers, can help us feel both happier and healthier. Those who live less than a kilometer from the beach are around 22 percent less likely to have mental (心理的) problems than those who live 50 kms or more away. People who visit the beach at least twice a week tend to (倾向于) experience better and mental health as well.

So how does "blue space" make us feel better? For one thing, aquatic (与水相关的) environments tend to have less pollution and more sunlight, both of which are linked (与……有关) to better mental and physical health. People who get more sun tend to be happier than those who do not.

There's also the air above the sea. After spending time near the ocean, you might find that you feel more relaxed than usual. This is because sea air is special with negative ions (负离子). These ions are in control of our levels of serotonin (血清素), a body chemical that makes a difference to our mood (情绪).

Finally, people who live near water tend to be more active. Water sports like swimming can help us stay in shape, which in turn keeps us healthy.

【推荐2】Teaching is one of the most rewarding（有回报的） jobs. It is also one of the most stressful. If you want to be a teacher, you should have a passion（激情） for young people. If you are thinking about going into teaching for any other reason than this, you need to find another job.
Teaching is difficult. Students can be difficult. Parents can be difficult. If you do not have a passion for the young people that you teach, you will burn out quickly. Passion is what keeps an excellent teacher going. When students have trouble understanding what is taught, it is what drives him to spend long hours trying to think out how to help them. If you do not have enough passion for your students, you might last a year or two, but not long. Passion is a must-have quality（品质） for every good teacher.
Teaching can be rewarding, but you shouldn’t expect that reward to come easily. Teachers who search out better and new methods are the ones who will make it. A good teacher needs to be able to work with everyone. All teachers face stress. It is important to be able to deal with everything that is thrown at you when you walk through your classroom doors.
