4 . Electives (选修课程) are always popular with students in a senior high school. They’re a relaxing break from required courses like math and physics. They are both interesting and useful. Let me introduce my experiences of some elective courses I chose.

Last term, I chose “micro culture (微生物培植)” as my elective course. In the class, the teacher allowed us to do some interesting experiments (实验) and we got useful knowledge. For example, we learned how to make the yogurt. I failed many times before I succeeded. However, this course increased my patience and improved my hands - on skills.

Flower arranging (插花) is an interesting elective course that I took this term. When we are preparing for flower arranging, we should follow these steps — deciding on an idea, choosing different flowers and plants, and picking a proper vase (花瓶). The teacher tells us to consider the colors and make sure that they match the idea.

China is a country with a long history. People began to plant and drink tea thousands of years ago. So this term I also chose the tea ceremony (茶道) course. I learned about how people first discovered tea trees and how they made it possible to drink tea. The course helps me experience Chinese tea culture. Having tea is a chance to enjoy some quiet time. And it also makes me forget all worries.

The First Lesson is a great public welfare (公益的) program for primary and middle school students across the country. It’s shown at 8:00 p.m. on September 1st every year.

The First Lesson of 2022 takes “Struggling (奋斗) to achieve dreams” as the theme, and it is divided into three parts: working hard, keeping going and fighting together.

The program for the First Lesson of 2022 moved the classroom to the Wentian space lab. The astronauts of the Shenzhou-14 who were on business in space also joined in the program through the connection. Wang Yaping, China’s first woman astronaut to walk in space also shared her experience of returning to the earth from space.

Besides, the class for the First Lesson of 2022 also moved the classroom into Saihanba mechanical (机械的) forest farm and Xishuangbanna Asian elephant saving and breeding (繁殖) center. Students felt the beautiful and amazing land of China. All of them developed their sense of national pride after having this class.

Only if the young are strong can our country be powerful enough. All the students developed the sense of national pride after watching the First Lesson. The First Lesson encourages teenagers to struggle in the new ages and start a new journey with lively and exciting stories. As a teenager in the new times, we should think about the purpose of the story characters, regard them as our own example, learn their spirit. In the future, we should become more serious towards study and become a useful person to work hard!
