In our family, we tape(粘贴) our rules on the wall of the living room. I got them from a friend six years ago, and these rules help us a lot over the years.

Rules come in different words. But good rules are all easy to understand. And it is important for the children to remember and follow the rules. So don’t have too many rules for your children. For younger children, parents can use pictures to tell them about the rules. Here are some examples(例子):

I am too tired and I just want to sleep.” he said.
“More and more kids become unhappy because they have too many activities to do,” said Mr. Wang, an expert of child development. “41% of the children aged 9 — 13 said they felt worried most of the time, and more than 75% of them said that they wished they had more free time to play.”
“Over-scheduling (过量的课时安排) is a growing problem for Chinese families,” said Mr. Wang. It is not good for both kids and their parents. All these family members are always very busy, especially for dinner time. More families have dinner quickly or often have to eat fast food on their way to football practice or music lessons.

3 . Qomolangma is the third mountain of the Himalkayas, so people call it the Third God Mountain in Tibetan language.
Qomolangma is very famous and it is higher than any other mountain in the world. Its newest height is 8,848.86 meters. At the height of 8,000 meters, there is only 30% O2 and the human body can only stand this height for a few days, so it is dangerous for humans to climb higher. But many climbers want to challenge themselves. As Alan Arnette, a mountain climber from America, said “Climbing mountains drives you to look deep inside yourself, and lets you find out whether you are strong enough in mind when you want to stop.”
It’s a good thing that Qomolangma gives people a chance（机会）to become strong-willed（意志坚强的）when they are trying to achieve their dreams. However, Qomolangma is in danger these years because many people leave their waste behind, such as water bottles and plastic（塑料的）bags. They cause the environmental pollution for Qomolangma. Many animals would die after eating the plastic bags. Luckily, many volunteers from all over the world came to Qornolangma to join in the clean-up activity. A volunteer advised, “Mountain climbing lovers should always take good care of themselves, and at the same time, take good care of Qomolangma.”
