Yesterday, our English teacher gave us a task (任务). We needed to some information about famous scientists online and write a short report.

When I got home, I turned on my computer. My mom told me to the time and not to look at the screen for too long. I nodded (点头). But when I found that many great scientists strong curiosity (好奇心), I wanted to learn more.

The next day, I went to school early and met my friend Tom near the school. He just arrived in his dad's car. We talked about our reports and shared interesting facts. Later, our class discussion about scientists in the morning. Everyone shared what they found. I felt happy because I learned a lot from this class.

I have to say that some of my interviewees, like government officials and teachers, had little2 speaking English. However, my work mainly3 talking with ordinary Thai people. It was nearly impossible to have4 with them in English, because they could fully5 themselves only in Thai. If I didn't speak the language, I could never finish my work.

So I started learning Thai, beginning with simple spoken language. It took me five months to6 and feel brave enough to use it.

Each time I successfully ordered food in Thai, I felt happy and wanted to learn more. When I introduced myself or answered someone I was interviewing with simple Thai words, their7 of surprise on their faces made me feel great.

Thanks to those Thai language skills, I made lots of Thai friends. They taught me a lot about their country.

Interestingly, I found some8 between China and Thailand through the language. For example, the Thai word "choke (粥)" has a similar9 to "zhou" in Chinese.

In a world where countries are more connected, the10 to talk in different languages really helps us understand each other better.

China has long encouraged schools to offer every day PE classes and make sure their students exercise for at least two hours each day. However, some schools faced challenges like not having enough time, space, or PE teachers. To fix this, Shenzhen trained more sports teachers and invited retired athletes (退役运动员) to help. It even came up with a creative way. According to it, students can use the city's public (公共的) spaces for exercise during school hours, and the public can use school sports spaces during holidays.

Many schools in China are actively following Shenzhen's lead. Both students and parents enjoy the program. Parents have noticed that their kids are getting healthier and happier through exercise. What's more, some educators speak highly of this program. One of them said, "Sports don't get in the way of students' learning. They actually work in the opposite way." A medical expert confirmed (证实) this opinion. According to the expert, exercise is good for both students' physical health and brain development.

In conclusion, China is working hard to make sure all students can get enough exercise.

I have many unforgettable experiences in my life. I still remember the day I learned can open even the hardest doors.

It was a Saturday afternoon. I was looking for a(n) garden in an old town, but I lost my map. Just then, I saw an old man plants in front of a small house. I asked loudly from the sidewalk, "Hey! How can I get to the garden?" He put down his tool and went inside without a word.

The old man's action me. I didn't know why he didn't talk to me. Then I walked around for hours. I got tired and found myself returning to the same street. The old man was trimming (修剪) roses there. Thinking back on what happened just now, I my mistake.

I walked closer and said softly, "Sir, I'm sorry for what I did. Could you please help me find the garden?" He put down his tool and smiled at me, "Now, that's better."

Not only did he give me the, but also he walked with me to a quiet road behind his house. There I finally found the secret garden, one I've ever seen in my life. He said, "This is my garden. Normally, I don't show it to impolite."

That day, I learned "please" and "sorry" are like magic. They don't just show me the way—they can open hidden doors I never knew.

The ninth grade is an important year for students. It's the bridge between middle school and high school. But don't worry—here are some suggestions to help you learn better in the ninth grade.

Set realistic goals (目标)

Unclear goals like "get better grades" are hard to achieve. Instead, setting clear goals is more useful. Then celebrate small wins, like improving the grade on a test. After all, progress helps you become more interested in studying.

Manage (管理) your time well

Poor time management often makes you finish your tasks badly. So you can break tasks into small ones and finish them according to how important they are. But all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. So try hobbies or sports to cut down stress, and that can make you study better.

Focus on active learning

Active learning can not only improve grades but also build thinking skills. So you can use practice exams to do self-testing or explain an idea to your parents or friends. What's more, connecting lessons to real life is also a good idea.

Pay attention to health and sleep

Physical health directly affects (影响) learning performance. Teenagers need 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night and regular eating habits. So develop healthy habits like going to bed at the same time every night.

A. By retelling it to others, you understand it better.

B. And don't forget to eat three meals a day on time.

Autumn has quietly arrived in Chengdu! Every year, osmanthus flowers (桂花) cover the whole city in soft golden color and strong sweet smells. The best part? You don't need to travel far or spend money. Just take the subway, and you can enjoy this natural gift of Chengdu.

First, visit the 1,600-year-old Daci Temple, a peaceful place in the busy city. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty named it. And thanks to him, it lived through a national temple destruction (破坏). Many osmanthus trees grow here. When the sun shines on the temple in early October, the small yellow flowers, red walls and ancient ginkgo (银杏) trees show a colorful world of beauty.

At Baihuatan Park, meet the "Osmanthus King"—a tree over 300 years old and so big that two people can't hug its trunk together. And it's still alive. Every autumn, you can still see flowers falling like a golden "waterfall" from the tree. It's a popular place with Hanfu lovers and local elderly people.

Next, walk through Guihua Alley, next to Kuanzhai Alley. It was called "Dangui Hutong" in the Qing Dynasty and has a 300-year history. Now, the government has planted many osmanthus trees there. In late autumn, when they are full of small yellow flowers, the street will turn into a dream-like road. Including the real trees, you can also see some osmanthus tree pictures on the building walls!

Finally, Wangjiang Tower Park connects osmanthus with poetry (诗). Most people know the place because of the poet Xue Tao and the bamboo forests. But few know it's also great for enjoying osmanthus in late autumn. Next to Xue Tao Memorial Hall, there are osmanthus trees. A light breeze brings sweet smells and flowers fall like rain. Light-colored dresses with a traditional Chinese style are perfect here.

So why not invite your friends to enjoy the city's natural beauty someday? Breathe in the sweet air, walk under golden flowers, and feel Chengdu's autumn magic.

In Fujian, the Lunar New Year is celebrated in a truly special way called "You Shen" (God-Parade). This event is a cultural practice that includes religious belief, art, and community spirit.

During the New Year, Fujian people make statues of gods (神像), who are believed to bring good luck and protection. These statues are placed on beautifully decorated flower cars, which are then paraded (被游行) through the streets, creating an environment full of joy. What makes You Shen unique among all the Spring Festival celebrations is its deep spiritual connection—something other celebrations do not have. Usually, people don't only watch the parade but also take part in it, believing that they can get good luck and happiness in the coming year.

The tradition of You Shen dates back to ancient times when villagers carried statues of gods to ask for good farming and safety. Over the centuries, it has grown into a wonderful festival that marks the Lunar New Year in Fujian. More than a religious ritual (宗教仪式), You Shen symbolizes sharing hope. The god's journey through the streets is seen as a way to spread good luck to every home. Also, neighbors stay closer by working together to prepare for the parade.

For Fujian people, You Shen is a cultural treasure. It is known for connecting modern life with ancient wisdom, reminding people to value (重视) tradition and stay connected as a community. Even as times change, laughter and music during the ritual keep the tradition alive, filling people's hearts with warmth and hope for the future.
