Life is like a journey. None of us can predict the destination (终点) of this journey. During this journey, we will enjoy beautiful scenery and encounter bad weather with thunderstorms. People have different experiences, but in this journey, we all have to face all kinds of situations. No matter what we experience, we should have a dream and hold it until the end of our journey.
We can’t set our goals too high, which will only make us have no time to enjoy ourselves along the way. Every day, we have to move forward in a hurry, just like climbing countless mountains. When we climb a mountain, there are many higher mountains waiting for us to climb. That way, we are likely to give up our dreams, because it seems impossible for us to reach the peak. We should start from own reality and enjoy the beauty of life. We should not only live for our goals, but also live for ourselves.
Learn to love. During the journey of life, we are not alone. There are many people with us, family, friends, teachers and so on. They give us love and care and we should love and respect them, including strangers. Be nice to others, and the world will be nice to us.
Treat the journey of life calmly and patiently, wait for the flowers to bloom and fall, and enjoy the clouds. The beauty of peace of mind is even more fascinating. A calm heart is like a clear blue sky without dark clouds, like a pool of clear water without any pollution, and like the light on green leaves, giving us hope and courage.
All in all, we should cherish everyone, everything and every scenery we see. Life is too short. Be kind to yourself, live in the present and let life show its beauty, because we only have one life. Please feel the scenery along the way with your heart!

Since September, many schools have more PE classes from three times a week to five or even more. This is in response to (响应) China’s new standard (标准) on PE classes. The standard asks schools to make sure that 10 to 11 percent of all class time must be PE classes, third only to Chinese and math.
The standard not only asks students to do easy exercise, but also asks schools to give students other popular sports to do.
Ma Jiajun, 15, from Jilin, set a new world record for “the most consecutive jump rope triples (连续三摇跳绳)” with 701 times. His teacher Chen Peng said that the school has always kept an eye on PE. With Ma as a role model now, students are more hard-working on not only jump rope but also other kinds of sports.
“At first tai chi was only needed during break time to show Chinese traditional culture, but students fell in love with it,” said Gao Yuxiang from a middle school of Shandong. Grade 8 students all need to do it, and there’s a tai chi competition every year for Grade 8 students. “Diferent from ball games, tai chi can make me relaxed and help me get ready for the next class,” said Gao.
“I really enjoy hip-hop dance,” Ren Jianing, a high school student, said, “The class doesn’t need any experience, so anyone can learn. ” Every class they practice a part of the dance and in the next class put the parts together into a whole dance. “Our shirts are all wet after class even on the coldest days of winter,” said Ren.

Different countries have different eating habits. The Chinese have a saying, “Eat good things for hreakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat less at dinner.” Many people in the USA agree that one starts a day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different.
Most people in America do not have much time to have their lunch, so they eat a small lunch. After work, they can have much time to eat a big dinner. Also a quiet dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work.
Eating at restaurants is also different. In China, very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly, and they are just having a good time. In America it is not like this. They usually eat a good meal far away from the noisy places. If they are making some noise, other people will look at them angrily, even the manager (经理) will ask them to be quict.
