The English song She became popular on the Internet and got millions of likes (数百万点赞) in months.

Many people were surprised that the song was made by a young schoolgirl in less than 30 minutes. The 16-year-old girl is Zhang Yuxuan. She is a middle school student at the Shenzhen Arts School and she is studies the violin.

One day, when she was reading a book, a piece of beautiful music suddenly came into her mind. She quickly wrote it down. "I want to send out a message about strong girls. Girls can be strong but also cute," said Zhang.

Zhang has been interested in music since she was a child. She began to write songs at the end of 2019. So far, she has written 26 songs.

Zhang hopes to become a singer－songwriter one day. "I hope to be a singer who is also a songwriter. I want to combine (结合) the violin, pop music with Chinese culture in my songs," said Zhang. "Everything in life can be written into songs. I will keep on writing and singing."

Rome (罗马) is a well-known place around the world. Many people have a dream to travel in Rome. Luckily, I spent several days in Rome last summer vacation. There is an old saying, "Do as Romans do." I tried to do something special in Rome.

On the first day, I visited some restaurants. I had some delicious food for lunch. After that, I went to a museum and took quite a few photos. Then I went back to my hotel. I had dinner at the hotel. After dinner I talked with my friends on the phone.

The next morning, I visited Piazza Venezia. It started raining, but I really enjoyed going for a walk on rainy days. Although I was wet, I thought it was enjoyable. There were only a few people because it started to rain heavily. After an hour, the sun came out.

On the third day, I went to some shops, and everything was wonderful there. I felt like I was in a dream. I spent most of the time buying nice gifts for my families. My trip ended on the fourth day. I came back to my city by plane.

I liked Rome very much, but I still missed my parents because "East or west, home is the best".

Jordan is my good friend. I visit him about twice a month. He lives in another town not far from mine. We don't study in the same school, but we go to the same summer camp each year. We met at a summer camp about three years ago and after that we became good friends.

Jordan has a quite different life from me. He has a large family. I have a small one. He has two pet dogs and I like growing flowers. He is outgoing and loves playing sports outside. I'm quiet and enjoy staying at home. I only speak English, but he can speak English and Spanish.

Every other Saturday, I go to Jordan's home, or he comes to my house. Our mothers are also different, but they become good friends. They are happy to drive us to each other's home so that we can play together.

At my house, we stay at my room and do our homework together. When I go to his home, we always ride bikes in the neighborhood. We often have a good time. And we often feel that time flies when we stay with each other.

Although we are different, we enjoy a lot of happiness. Friends are just like books. We don't need a lot of them as long as they are good.

What's your favorite TV show? For me, I like The Brave (《勇往直前的我们》) best. The TV show has twelve episodes (集) and every episode is about 100 minutes long.

The workers made The Brave mainly in three fire stations. It took them more than two months to finish the show. The main characters of the show are the firefighters in those fire stations. There are five hosts (主持人) in the show. They visit the fire stations and help us find out what the firefighters' real life is like. When there is a fire, they follow the firefighters to put out the fire.

So what is the firefighters' real life like? Through the show, we can get closer to the firefighters and see how they exercise and work. They exercise hard every day to keep strong so that they can save more people in danger. When everybody runs away from the big fire, they always run into it to save people's lives. These young men try their best to protect (保护) people from danger. Sometimes, they themselves are in great danger. They might get hurt or even lose their lives, but they never stop or give up (放弃). They are real heroes.

The show became popular soon after it was on in January this year. It is a successful TV show.
