1 . Zheng Lin is a Junior 3 student in Shijiazhuang, Hebei. Earlier this month, Zheng and his classmates stood on the street with a box asking people for donations（捐款）. Later they gave the money they got to the poor students in their school.
Many Chinese students raise money to help people in need. Most of the time, they hold a box and ask for donations on the street or in the park. Or they sell things like old books and CDs. Those students have done a great job so far. The money helps the students in poor areas like Yunnan and Gansu with new clothes, pens and pencils.
Teenagers in the US make donations, too. But they raise money in a different way—they raise money by doing something for others. For example, they sell homemade food or play musical concerts in their neighbourhood to raise money.
“Chinese students like to wait for people to donate, or sell things that they buy with their parents’ money,” says Ge Daoshun, an expert. "While US kids get donations and give people something useful in return.”
Ge says Chinese teenagers should learn to raise money in the US kids’ways. “That way, they can show their talents and practice communication. More importantly, they can learn every coin counts（有价值）. They have to work hard to get a donation.”

Saturday，March 24th We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand. All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight（今晚）. The hotel we are staying in is cheap and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North. |
Tuesday, March 27th Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai. |
Friday，March 30th Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life—no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thailand, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year. |

5 . September 20th is Love Teeth Day. Teeth are important in many ways. I think our teeth need care. If you take care of them, they’ll help lake care of you. Strong, healthy teeth help you chew the right foods that help you grow. They help you speak clearly. And yes, they help you look your best.
How do we keep our teeth healthy? Here are some tips:
☆Brush your teeth at least twice a day-after breakfast and before bedtime. If you can, brush after lunch or after sweet snacks, too.
☆Brush all of your teeth, not just the front ones. Spend time brushing teeth along the sides and back of your mouth.
☆Take your time while brushing. Spend at least 2 or 3 minutes each time you brush. Play a song you like to help pass the time.
☆You can also brush your tongue to help keep your breath fresh!
☆Go to the hospital and visit the dentist twice a year. The dentist will help keep your teeth extra clean and can help you learn the best way to brush.
