2 . Two days after eight e-sports (电子竞技) games were officially announced to be included in the 19th Asian Games, China’s Edward Gaming (EDG) team earned its first League of Legends World Championship title with a 3-2 win over South Korea in a tough battle on November 7th, immediately drawing cheers from people around the country. The topic “EDG wins” had been viewed more than 2.63 billion times as of press on Sina Weibo, ranking the top trending topic for a long time.
With the popularity of digital technology, new forms of cultural exchanges have been appearing, of which e-sports are the most popular. Unlike texts and videos, e-sports go beyond the barriers of language and are understandable around the world. E-sports mostly appeal to those in their early 20s, as shown by the carnival (狂欢) of college students. That in turn makes them a good bridge of communication between young Chinese people and their counterparts (对应的人) around the world.
More importantly, the e-sports industry is sustainable in spreading Chinese culture, as the large audiences mean huge commercial potential. In 2020 alone, the sales revenue of the domestic e-sports industry exceeded 278.69 billion yuan, and involved 280,000 enterprises which in turn created over 10 million jobs. According to a media report, nearly 95 percent of graduates from e-sports majors at the Communication University of China in Nanjing, succeeded in finding a job after graduation this year, with 62 percent of them devoted to the e-sports industry, including video game clubs, game design companies and game competition operation companies.
The inclusion of e-sports in major sporting events has been a much-discussed topic in recent years. With more Chinese gaming clubs and teams emerging, the industry is expected to further prosper and continue spreading Chinese culture to the world.

Jenny’s class was expecting her to win again this year. But Jenny was unsure. She wanted to enter the competition, but she had never danced with a partner before. She decided to ask some of the boys in her class to enter with her. They all said no because they did not know how to dance .
She finally decided to turn to one of her closest friends, Carl. Carl was unwilling to join at first because he also didn’t know how to dance. But Jenny insisted and he finally agreed. However, she was still worried because she knew it was going to be more of a challenge because Carl was not a good dancer.

“Look, Mommy, look!” Jimmy had a hopeful smile. He was holding a plastic package filled with green army men. “Can I buy these, please?” I returned his sweet smile and told him that he could put his favorites in the shopping cart together with the food and other daily necessities that we were buying. I watched as my three children—Steven, aged seven, Tom, aged eight, and Jimmy, aged five—chose small things to keep them occupied in the car during our long ride from Georgia to New Hampshire.
Jimmy and his brothers were happily chattering about their new toys when we stood in the checkout line. As I watched our purchases add up on the register, I started to get nervous. It was clear that the cost was much more than my budget. Although I didn’t want to, I must make a decision.

10 . If someone were to ask me what it is like to be a student in today’s society, I would probably answer: Being a student in today s society is not always easy.
Adults often tell us that we don’t know what stress is. But we have our own levels of stress. Many students in their high school years start their part-time job, so now you have school in the mornings, followed by responsibilities needing to be taken care of at home and then you’re off to work. By the time you are done there, you are too tired to finish your school work, but you stay up late to try and return to school feeling sleepy the next day. What good is that?
My point is, it is a whole lot more stressful to be a student in high school than adults believe. Our “stress” may not include paying bills or taking care of a family, but I’m sure if the adults in our lives could go back to school today, they would be surprised at how much it has changed.
I don’t want you to think for a minute that there aren’t good moments and memories while we are students at school. My mom always tells me to enjoy it while I can. I know that the world outside of school is often hard and that the responsibilities are serious. That’s exactly why I know that the focus I give to my future is important in leading me to a career that will allow me to contribute to society.
