There will be a Chinese zither (古筝) exhibition in the city museum on this weekend. Informed that traditional Chinese instruments appeal to you, I’m writing to invite you visit it.

Twenty Chinese zithers of different ages, among them the oldest one has a history of 2,500 year, will be on show in the museum. It is widely acknowledged that Chinese zithers were called “the piano in China”, enjoy a great popularity. Equally attractive are amazing stories behind it, for example, how they were made by hand and whatever parts they consisted of. There is a good chance that you can appreciate music play on the instrument by famous artists, exposed to a peace atmosphere.

Are you available? If so, I am too willing to accompany you.

China and Western country may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals. But when it comes to mice, we somehow reach an agreement that mice are timid, ugly,   shortsightedly, tricky and thievish﹣looking.

Neither of these words describing mice are exactly positive. Moreover, the truth is what mice have some good qualities. And there's probably no good time to clear their names than now， with the arrival of the Year of the Mouse on Chinese Spring Festival, which fell January 25 this year. According to a paper publishing in 2017, mice have meticulous thoughts or are part of ecosystem. Perhaps these are the qualities of mice to keep it in mind﹣their intelligence, acuity and sense of responsibility.

9 . Festivals are about fun in large helpings(一份食物), and science festivals should be no exception There should be plenty of it at the second Edinburgh Science Festival, which runs from 2 April to 16 April, But there really does seem to be something to cater for all tastes in the impressive listing of more than 300 events.

For starters, what about a tour of tropical crops in the Botanical Gardens- tastes and smells included? You can follow that up with a course of lectures and tastings of Italian food and wine given by the finest Italian delicatessen(熟食) in the country. No trip to Scotland would be complete without a trip to a distillery(酿酒厂) to see how the" water of life" is made.

Besides food and drink "practicals", you can try something in the medicine section.There are also plenty of events designed for kids, such as the Discovery Dome and the "hands on"science tent. OK,you might say, but where is the high-tech physics, the computer science and the space technology? Well, it is all in Edinburgh, but room is unavailable here to list the entire programme: including the daily diary and A map of venues. It covers 20 pages! There is also a host of specialist conferences on a range of topics including statistics, computing and urban planning. The idea seems to be to make Edinburgh a focus of science at all levels during the festival.

The programme of the festival is well arranged and subdivided, making it easy to pick out interesting events to suit your tastes, whatever they may be. Venues and the target audience (children, adults or specialists)are all clearly coded and the maps posted along the road should make it easy to get around.

10 . Yasmeen’s Mehndi

Mrs. Cross, Yasmeen’s social study teacher, announced, “Boys and girls, you have been learning about world customs. Be ready to share one of your family’s customs, tomorrow.”

After school, Yasmeen dragged her backpack along, thinking about the day’s homework. “I’m the only Indian student in my class,” she thought, “what will everyone think about my family’s customs?”

At home, Yasmeen was upset. She opened the kitchen door and saw her mother busily crushing henna leaves.

“Ready for the party tonight?” Mother smiled.

Yasmeen shrugged (耸肩). Normally, she’d be excited when her aunts, uncles and cousins came to celebrate the end of the ninth month of the Islamic year. This holy month is observed with prayers and fasting(斋戒)during daylight hours.

Later, Yasmeen explored the house, trying to get an idea for her homework. She found her father’s Koran (古兰经). She turned over the worn pages of her father’s holy book. Maybe I’ll take this to school, she thought. But the Koran isn’t a custom.

Maybe I’ll wear my salwar kameez (纱丽) to school. Wrong! Everybody might laugh at me. Tears filled Yasmeen’s eyes as she tried to figure out what to share.

Yasmeen walked into the kitchen again and watched Mother mix henna powder into a smooth paste, to be used to paint at the party.

That night all the girls in their beautiful salwar kameez gathered around the sofa to have their hands painted with Mehndi.

It was Yasmeen’s turn. Mother drew tiny flower patterns on her hands. Seconds later, “That’s it,” Yasmeen shouted out, “Mehndi!”

“On special Muslim holidays,” Yasmeen explained the next day at school, “it’s an Indian tradition to paint women’s hands with Mehndi designs.” Yasmeen proudly displayed the design on her hands. She also held up a bowl of crushed henna leaves for the class to see and then described how her mother prepared henna paste.

“Could you paint me a Mehndi design?” All her classmates held out their hands.

Yasmeen’s eyes moistened. She had always thought that Mehndi was only something valued in her own country, but now she was far too glad to see this ancient art on hands admired by people from different cultures.
