4 . Things you may not know about Grain Buds
Grain Buds(小满), the 8th solar term of a year in traditional Chinese lunar calendar, begins on May 21 this year and ends on June 4th.
Because of increasing rainfall during the Grain Buds, rivers are full of water, which gives rise to great tasting fish and shrimps. This is a good time to enjoy them. It is also a good season to eat mulberries as they are becoming black. People in Ningxia Hui autonomous region like to eat the blended herb of the common sow thistle(苦荬菜), which tastes savory and helps people feel refreshed.
Tips on health
High temperatures and humidity are common during the Grain Buds period. The increase in temperature over this season may also give rise to many kinds of skin diseases.
Key period for flower management
This time is a good period of the quick growth of flowers.
People in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces celebrate this season as the birthday of the silkworm deity(蚕神). Farmers also tend to the field by planting green Chinese onions in Shandong and harvesting vegetables in Zhangye, Gansu.

7 . As more and more people speak the global language of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will be likely to die out by the next century, according the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations — UNESCO and National Geographic among them — have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials —including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes — which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection. Now, through the two organizations that he has founded — the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project — Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to schools but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.

Dear Lucy,
I’m glad to receive your letter asked about my holiday life. I usually get up very early or do exercise in the park. Learning at home takes on most of my time. At times, I helped my parents with some housework when they are busy, that makes me happy. Meanwhile I take active part in social activities, such as community voluntary work. Sometimes, I join many more volunteers in going out to the streets to collect rubbishes. Besides, I try our best to help those in need, often going to the orphanage to visit the lonely children. I find greatly pleasure in these activities.
Yours,
Li Fang
