4 . One evening in December 2021, I stood on the stage and received a special award given to our team for our performance in the Model United Nations (MUN) (模拟联合国) Conference. The conference allows students to role-play as UN delegates (代表) to understand how the UN works and how the international relations develop.

Behind the honor of the award was sweat on our own. When I was told that we had to add some details to our report presentation (展示), I was quite surprised and nervous, because it would make our presentation much more difficult. Fortunately, we finished our presentation thanks to everyone’s efforts.

However, when the time of the conference came, something unknown happened. The placement of the tables and chairs upset us a lot. What was worse, the newest PPT with the background music was deleted on the computer. What was shown was only the original (原来的) PPT. We could only give our speeches based on our previous knowledge, with no PPT prompts to guide us.

In the end, we did very well. From the first introduction to the final speech, every part was excellent. During the public review period, many judges walked over to give us praises.

As one of our players said, the MUNers are confident and always moving forward. It was this honor that strengthened my determination to carry our MUN club forward to a bright future.

6 . The tooth is the hardest part of your body. Your teeth help you in many ways. For example, they can help you talk. They can also help you have a great smile. And the most important job of your teeth is to chew (咀嚼) your food. But do you know how your teeth grow?

When you are born, you don’t have any teeth. About 8 months later, small teeth begin to appear one by one. These teeth are called baby teeth. They are also called milk teeth.

Most people will have 28 permanent teeth by the time they are 12 years old.

For some people, four more permanent teeth arrive by their 25th birthday. They are called wisdom teeth (智齿). But these teeth don’t make you smart! Sometimes they bring you pain. If a wisdom tooth brings you too much pain, you should go to a dentist (牙医) and have it pulled out.
