②Nurafiza came up with a rewarding plan for her two sons at home and put it online. She gave them money for some housework. Nurafiza also opened a "supermarket" at home for her kids. They could buy candies there from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The money she gave to her kids was a kind of prop (道具).

③Because of this, Nurafiza's children are now more love to do housework. Her post got over 15,000 likes and was shared over 27,000 times online. Many parents began to imitate her. In other words, they use the same way to teach their children.

④In fact, doing housework can play a very important role in children's growth. First, it teaches children necessary skills for living, such as cooking and cleaning. Second, it is a good way to help children keep healthy. Third, it makes parents and children closer. Finally, a child can grow into a responsible (有责任感的) and independent (独立的) person by helping with the housework.

It's ok if you need some time to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody sometimes gets a little shy. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some are too shy. They won't go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order. Some are afraid to meet new people, so they don't like to go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.

If shyness doesn't stop you from doing anything you want to do, being shy isn't a very big problem. Shy people are even cleverer because they think more and talk less. They are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history were shy, too.

You see, being shy isn't all bad. But remember not to get good chances lost. If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practice your spoken English in front of others, just do it! There's nothing to be afraid of.

My best friend is Lisa. When I first met her, I was five. She is (outgoing) than me. Now we are in same class. I am not so beautiful. Sometimes I wish I could be as beautiful Lisa.

Lisa and I have a lot common. We both enjoy doing a lot of things together and (talk) about different things. She always helps me with my math and I sometimes help her with her English. I once had to write a report (报告) on science, but I didn't know what the teacher said (clear). The next day, the teacher said my report was wrong and all my classmates (laugh) at me. I felt very bad about (I). Lisa was the only one who didn't laugh at me.

I am shy and sometimes I feel that people don't understand (理解) me. Lisa is friendly and smart. I am happy she is one of my good (friend).

It seems that time always flies fast during vacations. I often have fun with my friends and do what I like to do when I have a vacation. Even the indoor activities can always interest me a lot.

During my last summer vacation, it was really hot so I didn't take part in many outdoor activities. In the morning, I used to get up at 6:30 and take a walk in the garden for half an hour. Then I kept the habit of reading English and Chinese and did some exercises in math. Those took me three hours or more. I always believe "practice makes perfect". Therefore, I kept studying quite hard and made good progress.

In the afternoon, I usually went to the swimming pool. It made me active and happy. I would not go home until it was about five or six o'clock. Sometimes a friend of mine would come to see me and we would spend some hours listening to music. It made us relax a lot. Before going to bed, I enjoyed keeping a diary to remember the great things.

In this way, I spent a happy vacation. And I not only studied well but also became as good at swimming as a fish. Now I am in good health and high spirits.
