A wise old man saw his grandson having an argument with his wife. He asked his grandson, “Why do you raise your voice (提高嗓门) every time you argue with your wife ”
His grandson answered, “I raise my voice so that my voice is heard.”
“Your wife is close enough for her to hear you when you say the same sentence in a calm manner. Why do you have to raise your voice ” the grandfather asked.
“Perhaps because I need to let off some steam (宣泄感情) by raising my voice,” his grandson replied.
“The steam will go out in the same way if you whisper to her. So why is that ”
“Or because I lose my patience when she doesn’t understand my point of view,” the man said unwillingly.
“Perhaps, but that is not the real reason why you raise your voice. The real reason is that when you are angry with your wife, your heart moves away from her heart. So even though you are physically(身体上) close to each other, you feel that you are far away from one another. You feel like you have to shout,” the grandfather replied.
“So what should I do to solve this ” the grandson asked.
“When two people are in love, their hearts are close to each other. If you whisper softly, you can both hear each other clearly. This is how you should talk to each other,” the grandfather replied.

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history You may think of Confucius(孔子), September 28 was his birthday. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people today still remember and respect him.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3, so he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius never gave up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.
Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in China. At that time only children from rich families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.
Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy(值得) to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”
Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.

Rice, meat, vegetables and fruits… Every day we can eat different kinds of food. You may throw away your extra food easily. But don’t forget that many people in the world still don’t have enough to eat. Over 30 percent of all food produced goes to waste, according to The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization(联合国粮农组织).
Right now, there are more than 1 billion hungry people in the world, according to the United Nations. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die from hunger each year.
However, food waste is still a big problem. Every year, we make about 3.9 billion tons of food. But in a year, 1.3 billion tons of food in the world goes to waste in all.
We could give the wasted food to many people. For example, the amount of food wasted in Europe could be enough for 200 million people in poor countries. So next time when you are being picky (挑剔的) about food, or can’t finish your meal, think twice because others aren’t so lucky.
What can you do to prevent wasting food The following tips may help you.
●If you go to a restaurant, do not order too much.
●If you cannot eat all the food in the restaurant, take it home.
●Don’t be too picky about food. Some food may taste bad, but your body may need it.

Protect Environment and love animals
Good morning, everyone! Today I am very happy to be here to give a report about protecting environment and loving animals.
All the living things are the host of the earth. We share the same home with them.
However, our environment is becoming worse and worse. People cut down trees and forests, so many animals have nowhere to live. And we make more space for farms and buildings, many wild animals lose their living areas. Some hunters hunt animals for money, then many wild animals died because of this.
Now, the government takes actions to protect environment and wild animals. And we also should make laws to protect them.
As students, we should try our best to do something to protect them, such as writing to newspapers or putting something on the Internet to let more people know about it.
If we do something to protect them, we will have a better world. If we don’t do anything, perhaps one day we will leave our home-Earth.
