Her elder sister, Ella, had just moved away to go to a performing art high school in another city. Her brother, Harry, was in middle school and always got home late. With Ella leaving home, Tammy was expected to do a lot more than she had ever done before, especially now, because her mother was ill.
Her father was in the kitchen. “Tammy, I know you usually do your homework right now, but with things being different, we all have to change a little bit. I’ll help you and Harry with your homework later on, OK?”

3 . One Thursday afternoon, when I was in Grade 7, a new boy came into my classroom. He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn’t think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn’t the type I would like to become friends with.
During that year, I didn’t talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.
But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong.
“Haven’t you got any friends?” a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down. “No, he hasn’t got any friends. He’s too stupid and shy.” I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.
That night, I couldn’t sleep because I couldn’t get Christian’s face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive (原谅) me. But I thought I should.
The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. “You will never realize (意识到) what your apology (道歉) has meant to me, Jimmy,” he said to me. “I hope we can become friends.”
We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends.
When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was.
Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.

5 . Many people in the world are short of basic skills. That’s why governments are paying attention to food education in schools. They want students to have a good relationship (关系) with food and know about its importance.
Schools give kids different information on food. So, students learn about not only healthy eating but also food production (生产) and waste. They learn to make different food, too.
For example, UK students from 7 to 14 must learn to cook basic meals. In this way, students can learn a useful skill and good food habits.
In the US, schools use a farm-to-school method. They buy fresh food from local farms for their restaurants. Students also go on field trips to the farms. In some areas, US students learn to garden, too. When they grow their own fruit and vegetables, they respect (尊重) food more. They also try not to waste it.
Japan even has a rule on food education. Students can’t skip (略过) breakfast, and they can’t eat fast food. Students are living healthier lives thanks to good food education.
