Every school day, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school. They are a big part of our lives. But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag
In the Han dynasty, students in old - style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People believe the bamboo boxes were the earliest schoolbags. There were usually two or three layers(层) in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes, ink - stones (砚) and paper in the boxes.
Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai or the "hip - pocket". The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding (成立) of the People's Republic of China, military rucksacks (军用帆布包) became popular. Many people carried them when they were in school. Ask your grandparents about these bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them.
A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colourful and fashionable designs on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use. Some students pull wheeled(有轮子的)bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks.
Schoolbags are still changing. Can you imagine what future schoolbags will be like

In 1997, 12 - year - old American girl Caitlin and 14 - year - old Zimbabwean(津巴布韦人)Martin became penfriends through their schools. They didn't realize at that time how their handwritten letters would change their lives.
It all began as a school task. Everyone in Caitlin's class was asked to choose a penfriend from another country. All the other kids picked countries like France or Germany, but Caitlin chose Zimbabwe because the name sounded exotic (异国的) and cool.
Martin lived with his family in one of Zimbabwe's worst slums (贫民窟) where they shared one room with another family. And a bed was their only piece of furniture.
When Caitlin's first letters reached Martin, they were simple and general. The two kids wrote about their favourite music and what they liked to do. But as Martin slowly revealed more about his life and his letters started arriving written on pieces of trash, Caitlin realized what the living conditions were like for Martin. Without telling her parents, she began sending money with her letters - $20 at a time. While the money was not much to Caitlin, it meant more food for Martin's family and helped him pay his school fees.
It lasted six years from their first exchange of letters to Martin's arrival in the United States. With the help of the money from Caitlin's parents later on, Martin finished his university and got his MBA from Duke University.
Today, Caitlin and Martin aren't only best friends, but they also share their story in a book called I Will Always Write Back. They want to help readers look beyond their own lives and do something kind for others, which might greatly influence (影响) their lives.

Four types of friends you need in your life
Do you know that people will die early if they have no friends during their lifetime The survey shows if you want to live longer and more happily, you need to have some friends who can share your sadness and happiness or can be helpful when you are in trouble.
The following four types of friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away.
A Loyal(忠诚的) Best Friend
Everyone needs a friend who will support you in different situations. This kind of friend knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.
A Friendly Neighbor
These days, a lot of people don’t know their own neighbors. It’s a shame, because some neighbors can be the most helpful people. If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday, you can call your neighbors to lock it for you. So it’s wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbors.
A Workmate
You’ll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch alone every day. Your workmate doesn’t have to be your best friend. If you two get along well with each other, you can always start going out together outside of the office.
A Friend From a Different Culture
If everyone had a friend from a different culture, the world would be a much better place. Remember not to be friends with someone just because they’re from a different culture. Instead, keep your mind open, and if you meet someone from other places, try to learn about their customs, values, and traditions.
If you have such kinds of friends, you will surely live longer and more happily.
