Labor (劳动) education has received more and more attention in recent years. 1
As students, doing housework is the best form of labor. But some people think that students only need to study hard and should not waste time doing housework. 2 Here are my reasons.
3 This is because what the school teaches is not only knowledge, but also how to adapt to (适应) society. The same is true for the family. Doing housework shows duty toward the family.
Second, doing housework can help us develop a hardworking spirit and help you learn some labor skills. In the future, these will be helpful to us.
Finally, the purpose of getting knowledge is to learn the skills we will need in the future. 4 No one wants to be useless in the society.
President Xi Jinping once said, “The people’s life lies in hard work, and hard work leads to prosperity (繁荣).” The same is true for students. 5
A. We should help parents to do the housework. B. First, teachers often ask students to clean the classroom at school. C. I think this idea is wrong. D. It is very close to our lives. E. First, teachers often ask students to study hard at school. F. Labor education is also the first test for us to enter society. G. The more skills students have, the better they are.

Throughout history, people all over the world have loved watching shows. What types of shows can we see Let’s take a tour of the colourful world of shows.
Beijing opera is a type of musical theatre. It joins singing, dance, acrobatics, and martialarts together. It has a lot of music and is called opera, but the actors tell the stories in dialogues. The stories are taken from Chinese history, tales and literature. When an actor appears, the audience know quickly if the character is smart, stupid or bad because of his face paint. For example, a red face is loyal. A lot of make-up makes the audience see the actor’s mouth, eyes, and face from faraway.
Wayang kulit is from Indonesia and is the oldest form of puppet theatre in the world. The stories are legends and folk stories. The puppets are all different characteristics. The biggest ones are the bad guys, and the heroes are usually thin puppets with long pointed noses, Wayang kulit performances are still very popular in Indonesia.
Ballet is a form of dance. It started in Italy in the 15th century. In early ballet, dancers wore masks and heavy costumes, and they were all male. The first female dancer appeared about 200 years later. Both male and female ballet dancers have to be in very good shape and strong. One ballet performance can take 5,000 hours of practice. And in one performance a male dancer often has to lift a lot of female dancers. Two famous story ballets are Swan Lake and Peter Pan.
Street theatre is really fun, and it is the oldest form of theatre. It was performed outdoors on the streets of ancient Egypt. Now you can see it in shopping centres and on street corners in many cities of the world. The performers do all kinds of things like juggling, dancing, and singing. Everyone can stop to watch it.

Comments
Gloria: 11 January, 2024-06:06 Recently I’ve started keeping a small study diary. I write down everything I need to do and when it needs to be done by. Then I write a reminder a few days before the date just in case. It’s helping. Amy: Thanks, Gloria! I agree.

Derek Redmond
It was the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992; the semi-final of the 400 metres. The sun was shining and the crowd were ready for a great race. The British athlete Derek Redmond was a top runner: he had a very good chance of winning a medal.
The race began. At first, Derek was running well. Then, after about 150 metres, he felt a pain in his leg. He fell down on one knee. He had a bad injury and couldn’t carry on. The other runners went past him and finished the race.
After about five seconds, Derek got up and started to run again, on one leg only. Some organizers tried to stop him but he kept going. The crowd stood up and started to clap. Then another man came onto the track—Derek’s father, Jim. His father put his arm around him and said, “Derek, you don’t have to do this.” Derek replied, “Yes, I do. I have to finish.” And so together they walked the last 50 metres and crossed the line.
When he finally crossed the line, Derek was crying and 60,000 people were cheering him.

▲ K2 was now a very sad place for her, and she thought perhaps she would never climb the mountain.
But there was something very important that she wanted to do: K2 is one of 14 mountains in the world that are 8,000 metes or higher, and her dream was to climb them all.

Homestays are becoming more and more popular, and people around the world are offering their homes as hotels. Homestays offer cheap places to stay, and the chance for guests to see the area like a local. They are very popular with people who want to stay in another country to study or on holiday. We asked three families who run homestays to tell us about where they live.
The Atal family
Our family home is in a small village in the north of Pakistan, in the Himalayan mountains. The village is quite small and very quiet. The mountains are extremely beautiful. You can go for long walks and swim in the rivers but there are no shops, cinemas or cafes.
Kate and Julian Foxton
Our two-bed house is by the sea in the south-west of England. It is about five minutes’ drive to the nearest village of Portreath. There are lots of beaches, rivers and forests and it is very quiet. We spend a lot of time reading books, watching films and going for walks. Our area is great for sports like surfing, kayaking and mountain biking. However, the houses here are expensive, which can be a problem for local people. There are no buses or trains here, so it can be difficult to get around without a car。
Chafic and Aline Halwany
Our home is near the centre of Beirut, Lebanon, one of the largest cities in the Middle East. There are lots of cafes and restaurants, which open late at night. We love it here because it’s so friendly and you can always find what you need—lots of people come to stay to learn Arabic and French. However, it can be noisy at night, and there is quite a lot of traffic during the day.

Once, he took a boat trip to the state of Chu. Along the way, the river water rushed toward the east, leaving the high mountains behind. Inspired by this, Yu took up his qin and began to play. After a while, he noticed a woodcutter standing on the riverbank, enjoying his music quietly.
