2 . On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War（抗击新型肺炎战）, the Ministry of Education issued（教育部公布） a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before March. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.
However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect（影响） children’s studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.
In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform（平台）, where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.
It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection（感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.
Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.

6 . China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to solve the population problem, our government carried out one-child policy (政策) before. When it is carried out for some time, many people not only see its advantages but also disadvantages.
From 2016, two-child policy is put into effect. In my opinion, two-child policy is good. First of all, two-child policy is the gift for some only child. For some families, maybe the parents are only child and they can also have only child. Besides the loneliness of their child, when their child grows up and they grow older, their child marry an only child girl, the burden (负担) on their child and his wife is too heavy. Their child and his wife have to take care of two couples. Usually, a young couple looking after an old couple is a little difficult. But if their parents have two children, they can share the burden of taking care of their parents. It would be much better. Secondly, two-child policy can guarantee (保证) the number of Chinese population.
All in all, one-child policy has been out of date. And two-child policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problems of nowadays and the future.

7 . Several years ago, I was shopping in a store with my best friend in California. There we saw a young lady with a small boy moving in the opposite direction. The lady didn’t see us because she was so angry with her little boy, who kept pulling things off the lower shelves. As the mother became more and more irritated, she started to shout at the child. However, it was no use. So the mother began to shake the boy by the arm and tried to take him away.
Seeing this my friend spoke up—-she was a wonderful mother of three and founder of a famous school. She had never treated a child so hard once in her life. I expected my friend to give the boy’s mother a serious mother-to-mother talk about controlling herself and about the effect such behaviour would have on a child. But she didn’t do that. Instead, my friend said, “What a beautiful little boy! How old is he?”
The young lady answered cautiously, “He’s three.”
My friend told the mother how curious the boy seemed and how her own three children were just like him, pulling things off shelves in stores and so interested in all wonderful colors and packages. “He seems so bright and intelligent”. my friend said.
Finally, a shy smile came upon the young lady’s face. Then she had the boy in her arms. Gently brushing her hair out of her eyes, she said, “ Yes, he’s very smart and curious, but sometimes he wears me out.”
My friend nodded in agreement, “Yes, they always do that .They are so full of energy”.
As we walked away, I heard the mother speaking kindly to the boy, “Let’s go home for dinner, honey. I’ll have your favorites—macaroni(通心面）and cheese.”

10 . As the proverb says, “Your tongue has the power of life and death.” This means that your words have power to finally cause things to happen, even life or death.
We may all experience the power of words in our life, even when we were very young. A child is blamed ( 责 备 ) by teachers or parents, and after that, he might probably think of himself as a bad child. Most kids have that experience. They say it is important to praise children four times for each negative ( 负 面 的 ) word. Blaming will make things worse, while positive words are helpful especially when being in trouble or in need. When we fail the exam, encouraging words from our teachers or parents make us work harder at our lessons. Encouraging words can go quite a long way. They lift people up. For example, encouraging words to someone who is sad can help them make it through the day. Words can have a powerful effect on your brain. And it will in turn ( 相 应 地 ) have a great influence on your action.
Everything you do depends on what you choose to do. It’s not your parents, your past relationships or your job, but you and only you that are responsible for every goal you set. If you have dreams in life, write them down and speak them out. Your words are likely to bring you out something amazing.
