I told my mom that I wanted to learn Peking Opera, and she put me in classes. Since then I’ve been on my learning j 2 for 5 years.
I have to wake up at 6 o’clock every morning to practice the key skills in Peking Opera performance, such as leg exercises, somersaults (翻筋斗), and voice t 3 . When practicing handstands (倒立), all the w 4 is on my arms and I sweat. And to make my p 5 more clear, I read the lines loudly and quickly. It makes my lips numb (麻木的), but I don’t give up. In practice, what really w 6 me is getting hurt. One time, I fell down while practicing. That made it d 7 for me to go up and down stairs for a long time.
As the saying goes, “One minute on the stage needs 10 years’ practice o 8 the stage.” All the hard work was worth it o 9 I got the chance to perform Peking Opera onstage.

There are often many problems when I go a 11 and stay there alone. Recently I am in a foreign country, the Czech Republic (捷克共和国), whose official language is not English. So the first big problem is language. Many Czech people can’t speak English. So I have to learn Czech. It’s very challenging because there are many rules for grammar. At the b 12 , I didn’t know them at all. But little by little, I remembered the rules and learned how to speak Czech. I think you need to like a language first, and then you can make p 13 quickly if you study hard.
If you live with a host family like me, there may be a 14 problem. You might argue with them, or you might not u 15 their rules at home. For example, my host family didn’t think it good for me to get up late on
weekends. So I tried to get up as e 16 as possible. The best way to get along with the host family is to talk with them more. You can tell them what h 17 to you at school every day. Also, if you offer to help them with some h 18 like cleaning or cooking, they will be very happy.
The last problem is making friends. At school, I was often ignored (忽略) w 19 many of my classmates got together and chatted with each other. Sometimes, I felt really l 20 . But I tried to talk to everyone I met and went out with them on weekends. Now, I have many good friends.

When it comes to opera, you might think of Peking Opera. But have you ever h 41 of Qinqiang Opera
Qinqiang Opera is one of the o 42 forms of opera in China. It started from the ancient folk songs and dances of the people in Shanxi and Gansu. A 43 to historical records, the local opera dates back to the Qin Dynasty.
Hou Yan is the president of Qinqiang Theater of the Ningxia Performing Arts Group. She started learning Qinqiang Opera at 4. Training in the basic skills of Qinqiang Opera is very challenging. In 1985, Hou studied at an art school where teachers were very s 44 with students. While training, each basic move would have to be held quite correctly for half an hour and a single mistake could mean she had to start all over again. Leg stretching (伸展), waist bending and somersaults (翻筋斗) were just some of Hou’s daily training. Her hard work f 45 paid off. Hou became a performer with a troupe (剧团) in Yinchuan at 16. But in1993, the sweeping trend (趋势) of pop and Western music hit Qinqiang Opera hard. The troupe was c 46 and Hou had no choice but to leave the opera stage.
In the past decades, however, China has made great efforts to develop its traditional culture. Local governments has thought of many ways to e 47 people to pay more attention to our traditional culture. Luckily Hou had the chance to return to the stage in 2000 and put her heart into the opera form.
Now, Hou’s team gives hundreds of performances every year. The performers are all energetic and l 48 . They usually work together in an active and cheerful way. And most of the team members are of her age. They get together just because they all have a common i 49 in Qinqiang Opera. In 2021, they staged about 150 school performances.
“As we become more confident about our culture, more young people feel p 50 of our traditional culture and consider it as a fashionable trend.” said Hou.

I grew up in the countryside. At around 10 years old, I began to learn cooking. The first skill I mastered was making dough(面团). Since my parents often came home l 51 , a prepared dough would help my family have supper sooner. I thought it would be e 52 because I often saw my mum do it — just mix water and flour, right Not quite! It turned out to be a m 53 for a while. First I made the dough too soft. Then I made it too hard. But as I kept trying, I learned the trick.
Later, I cooked fried dishes and things like dumplings and I f 54 in love with cooking. It’s a good way to relax. More importantly, thanks to my cooking skill, I live better d 55 the COVID-19 pandemic. Now working at home, I cook every meal instead of ordering takeout. It s 56 money and I don’t have to wait for delivery drivers to feed me.
Besides cooking, I did a lot of f 57 work in my childhood. I got to know how to plant vegetables. T 58 it was hard work, the experience taught me things that many of my friends still don’t know. For example, the part of a potato that has sprouts(芽)can be planted as a seed. I once discussed this with my friends from the city. They thought it was a p 59 that they didn’t have the chance to learn these things in their lives.
Some might say we can learn these things from textbooks. But it can’t compare to the j 60 of learning firsthand, watching plants blossom and grow. It brings a new way to look at the world.
