Helping others can make a difference to your community. Here are some things you can do.

 A food bank provides food for people in need. You can help wash dishes there, serve dishes and so on. There are some other ways.  By doing this, you can help make the community clean and beautiful.  For example, you can do voluntary work at a tennis match or in a nursing home. Working with a team can help you do better and learn more. Helping a lost baby find his or her parents is also a very sweet kind of community service. Or you can share your umbrella with a child living in your neighborhood.

They can help others and make you happy as well.

To volunteer means to carry out a duty or job without expecting payment. In some places, the idea of working without being paid is thought to be a bad use of time, but we don't think so! There are many benefits (益处，好处) to gain through volunteering. You can really make a difference in other people's lives, and there is little or no training involved! When you volunteer to help out a friend, teacher or parent, you are seen as helpful and caring. For example, if you help the teacher clean up the classroom, she will see you as more mature and respectful. And volunteering for an organization or group that cares for disabled children cheers them up. The same is true for lonely people at an old people's home. So is spending time to fix or repair people's homes.

By volunteering, you not only gain experience, but also learn a variety of new interests and skills. You will learn to understand the lives of others. You can learn to be brave and independent. You can learn how to effectively talk with and make friends with people you don't know. Volunteering to help others also gives you strong feelings of satisfaction and joy. It is very rewarding. You can call up a volunteer organization today and try it out yourself! Join a group that interests you! We hope that more and more students will get happiness from helping others.

A great team is more than just a group of people working together. It requires trust, communication, and a common goal. Here is a story about a great team.

Last year, our school held a science competition. My classmates and I formed a team called "Explorers". Our goal was to design a small robot that could help clean the classroom. At first, we faced many problems. Tom, our designer, wanted to make the robot look cool, but Lily, our engineer, thought function was more important. They argued for a long time and couldn't reach an agreement. As a result, we fell behind other teams.

Our team leader, Mike, didn't get angry. Instead, he asked Tom and Lily to talk about their ideas separately. He said, "We are a team. Everyone's ideas are valuable. Let's put ourselves in each other's shoes." After listening to Mike's advice, Tom and Lily started to understand each other. Tom agreed to focus on function first, and Lily promised to make the robot look nice.

With everyone working together, we made great progress. We met every afternoon to discuss our design and solve problems. When we faced technical difficulties, we asked our science teacher for help. Finally, our robot won the first prize in the competition.

Through this experience, we learned that a great team needs respect for each other's ideas. A good leader should know how to resolve disagreements and encourage the team. Most importantly, teamwork makes the dream work.

For centuries, lacquer fans (漆扇) have been loved for their beauty. Today, we'll take a look at the story behind lacquer fans.

Lacquer fans are special fans from China, and their history dates back to the Han Dynasty. Later, lacquer fans became one of the top collections in the art world during the Tang Dynasty. Lacquer is a natural varnish (清漆) from the lacquer tree. It was first used for wooden objects to protect them from water and insects. Over time, workers began to use lacquer to make and decorate (装饰) fans.

Lacquer fans are made with bamboo or wooden frames (框架). Traditionally, they are painted with different themes and patterns (图案), such as flowers and birds, and people, to make them traditional techniques (技艺) to create lacquer fans, keeping this ancient art alive.

Nowadays, lacquer fan painting is one of the most popular activities among young people. The process is quite simple. People first choose the colours they want to use, drop the coloured lacquer into the water, stir (搅拌) it, put the fans in the water for a while, and then take them out. And that's it.

Many people like lacquer fans. Every fan is unique (独一无二的), like each of us.

Technology is the main reason for job changes. It makes some jobs disappear and creates new ones. For example, smart voice systems replace telephone operators, while metaverse (元宇宙) technology brings new jobs like "metaverse event planners".

Three people shared their views on job changes:

Cynthia263: "The idea of planes without human pilots is scary. Will pilots' jobs go up in smoke? Is the technology safe enough?"

JerryMc: "I want to join a space tour, but I'm a cashier. If my job is replaced, how can I pay for it?"

JZhang00: "The job market changes so fast. We can't sit at our desks and wait—we need to learn new skills."

Experts say that to keep up with job changes, people should learn new skills regularly. For example, cashiers can learn to operate self-service systems, and pilots can study autopilot technology.

Chen Huandong is a college student. He took a 1 action to donate hematopoietic stem cells (造血干细胞) on March25. 2 , he became the 700th person to donate hematopoietic stem cells in Shanghai.

After signing up for donation last October, Chen received a 3 from the Shanghai Branch of the Red Cross Society of China. It told him that his hematopoietic stem cells had 4 matched (配对) with a patient. Chen kept on accepting more medical tests, and 5 the final one in January.

To 6 the stem cell collection, Chen followed a strict exercise plan to reach the standard (标准). He ran four kilometres every day to make himself 7 . He also ate 8 food and slept well. Then he could keep in good 9 to donate successfully.

Chen donated about 200 ml of hematopoietic stem cell suspension (混悬液) after over five hours of collection. He said, "As far as I know, the patient is a child. I hope he can 10 the illness and grow up to be a brave and kind person."

Everyone in our class (enjoy) her classes. She always asks us (learn) Chinese well. I work very hard and now I can talk (easy) with classmates in Chinese.

I'm also in the school band. It has six (member). Every Friday afternoon, we get together in the school hall, and prepare the new song for our school music show. I think that is interesting part of my school life!

Paper-cutting is a (极好的) Chinese art with a long history. It is also one of the most popular (爱好) in China. Here is something interesting about it.

You can cut out pictures of many things like flowers, cats or (乐器). In old days, people usually used red paper because red means (欢欣，愉悦) and good luck in China. But now young people love colours like (灰色的) and black too. On big days, (几乎) all the families put paper-cutting on walls and windows. Families hope to have a good life with those (了不起的) pictures.

(通过) this traditional art, more and more people feel the beauty of Chinese culture. Everyone can enjoy (他们自己) with it. They can have fun (探索) Chinese culture a lot. Come and learn to cut paper!

"Hi, everyone. I'm Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old," she introduced herself.

"Hello. Why are you here at such an age?" I asked.

Rose laughed and said, "I'm here for my dream. I've always wanted to study at the university."

After class, Rose and I walked to the dining hall and had lunch together. We quickly became good friends. Rose became popular in the university soon. She could easily make friends with other students.

Before the end of the school year, Rose gave us a talk. I'll never forget what she shared. She said, "There is a big difference between growing old and growing up. We all grow old. But we should keep growing up as we grow old."

Rose taught us that it's never too late to learn. She made us believe that we can always learn new things and make our dreams come true.

The greatest advantage (好处) is that we can connect with people more easily. We are still able to keep in touch with our friends if they are far away. Also, it makes it easier for us to make friends, especially for those who are afraid of making friends face to face.

What's more, it is a great way to share our news with others. We're celebrating the birth of a new baby, or we passed an exam. It could also show what we really like.

Social media also has a bad influence if we don't use it correctly. For example, it can make us less confident sometimes. One reason is that people around us put colourful and wonderful pictures online to show off (炫耀) their best moments. Online sharing is not always safe, either. Not only your friends or family can see your news, but some strangers (陌生人) can also see it.

Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai says, "What is interesting is the power and influence of social media. We must try to use social media in a good way." After all, you decide how you use this powerful tool.

People like to get a haircut. It's a famous tradition. People believe it can keep bad luck away.

In Fujian, people eat tofu balls during the festival, and they often make tofu and vegetable balls, hoping for auspiciousness. In Zhejiang, people usually eat "Green Rice Balls" or "Qingtuan". They're green because they use green vegetables, which represent (代表) spring and the growth of the new plants.

Kids also have their own fun traditions. They make colorful dragon things or draw pictures of dragons. Some schools even hold parties where children can dress up, play games, and learn about the festival's history. It's a really fun way for kids to learn about why the dragon is so important in Chinese culture.

This festival is not just about the seasons changing, and it's also about hoping for a good and healthy year. It's a time when families share their traditions with each other, making their family ties and culture stronger.

One day, on 2 way home, they met an old woman with a bag of apples. They helped her 3 them to her house. The woman was thankful, so she said, "You brothers are so 4. Is there anything I can do 5 you?"

Hearing the words, the brothers 6 each other and said, "We're not really happy with our 7."

The woman asked, "What would make you 8 then?" Each brother had a 9 wish. Sam wanted a big house, Tim wanted a large farm, 10 Andy wanted a beautiful wife.

"That's fine," said the woman.

When the brothers got home, they were all 11. They found their wishes had become real. Then they knew that the woman had 12 powers.

At first, the brothers were happy, but soon they felt unhappy 13. They went back to the woman, asking 14 they could keep happy.

The old woman smiled and told them, "15 doesn't come from getting what you don't have. It comes from being thankful for what you have."
