I met an old friend today and we took a drive. I could find that he was very rich. I don't mean he has much money, but I could see he was full of happiness. He told me many things about his life.
I wasn't surprised, as I continued to listen to him. He told me how thankful he was to have had his parents, who fed him and loved him when he was young. He told me about his father who had died shortly after giving up work and about his mother who had lived a long life.
He spoke of his family and how proud he was of his wife, his children, and his grandchildren. He spoke of the greater love of the whole family and how they all enjoyed having parties for birthdays and holidays.
His children had families and jobs. There was love in each family. He advised doing volunteering work in the world. He told me the happiness he found in helping others. He had taken so much in the world, but today, he shared his riches.
I listened to him all the way home. As I got out of the car, I thanked him for his telling me about his life. It was good to have this lifelong friend. We would always be good friends.
How much do you know about Brazil(巴西)? You might think of football, samba(桑巴舞) and the Amazon.
But there is a lot more to this country: its wonderful land, history and culture.
On September 7, 1822, Brazil won its independence (独立) from Portugal(葡萄牙). So that day is Brazil's National Day. It is the largest country in South America and has the second longest river in the world. It is called the Amazon. The river is 6,440 kilometers long and runs through the world's largest rainforest (雨林). The rainforest is home to between 800,000 and 5 million kinds of plants and animals. But be careful when you swim because the biggest snake and the most terrible fish live there!
Brazilians love sports, especially football. Many great players were born in Brazil like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho an Rivaldo. Football is played everywhere. It is so popular that schools and businesses close during their important matches!
The Brazilians also love dancing very much. The national dance is samba. Samba is a very lively and funny dance. Every year in February or March, there is the Carnival(狂欢节). This is a time for parties! People go out and dance in the streets! Dancers dress up in colorful clothes and go through the streets on big cars. Tens of thousands of people watch the dancing.
If you want to be part of the Carnival, then find a chance to travel to Brazil!
Welcome to New York City, the Big Apple. It is one of the most exciting cities in the United States. I am Jack Marino, your guide in New York. As you see, Central Park is a very large park, right in the middle of all the tall buildings. Look at all the people who are walking, bicycling, and picnicking in the park. It is really a quiet and relaxing place in New York. Now we are going down Fifth Avenue. New Yorkers love to walk along Fifth Avenue and look in the store windows. There are clothes stores with beautiful dresses and suits, and jewelry(珠宝) stores with diamonds (钻石) and gold. Here we are on Broadway(百老汇), where you can see plays and musicals（音乐喜剧）. When we say Broadway, we don't mean one single theater. Actually, it is an area with many famous theaters. When you visit New York you must go and see a play or a musical at Broadway. Now we are going by the Empire State Building. From the 102nd floor you can see all up and down the island of Manhattan. It is a wonderful way to see the city. Here is Wall Street, the money center of the United States. These streets are the heart of American business. The people going along the street look very small with such tall buildings on both sides. And there's the ferry that will take you to the Statue of Liberty(自由女神像), which is in New York Harbor（纽约港）. I hope you enjoy New York.
A. Always look on the bright side. B. Get help. C. Do not be crazy. D. Get excited. E. Try to solve the problem. F. Encourage yourself. |
How to stay relaxed
Hello, everyone. I am very glad to be here with you. As we all know, being stressed out is not a good thing. Here are some tips to share with you.
①
Whenever you are in trouble, turn to your parents and friends for help. It's better to speak the worries out and get some advice from others. Sometimes you'll feel relaxed when you find that someone else has the same problems as you do.
②
If you find yourself stressed out, try to find a way to let the feelings out. Doing breathing exercises, listening to music, doing some sports and taking a walk may work. Or just shout it out if the other things don't help you feel better.
③
When you calm down, it's time to solve your problem. You should find out what the problem is and find a way to solve it. If you can't solve all of it at once, you may begin by solving part of it. When you don't know what to do with your problem, you may become stressed. But when you've found out what the problem is and have started solving it, you will find your stress gone.
④
Every coin has two sides. Looking at the dark side can make you stressed and it won't help solve your problem. So why not look at the bright side? You may find your problem not too hard to solve when you are less stressed out. And more ideas will come up to you when you are relaxed.
⑤
After you have solved the problem or part of the problem, buy yourself a gift, go and see your favorite movie or just hang out with your friends. You will enjoy the feeling of being relaxed.

I was walking home from school one day and it happened to be a very cold and windy day. It was 1 and I was crazy enough to forget my hats and scarf. You can imagine my face was rosy red and my hands were not able to feel anything.
All of a sudden an old lady drove up beside me and asked if I would like to give her a chance to drive me 2. At first I said it was not OK. But then her warm smile changed the thought that I didn't talk to 3! We had a pleasant chat and she was just a 4 woman. She told me her 5 and she dropped me off near my house.
I didn't see her for about a month and one night I decided to return the favor(帮忙). So, I made a lot of 6 and walked down to her house with my friend. At first I was a bit 7. Maybe she wouldn't remember me or think that I was a bad man who brought bad cookies, but, 8, I was wrong. She was so happy, and she hugged me and kissed me and seemed so 9that anyone would do something like that!
When I got home my mom told me that she 10 and told my mom that she cried because she was so touched. She said she would never 11 the kindness that was given to her! That filled me with such 12!
There really is nothing else like helping 13 and making someone's day 14!
Let us never forget the joy we get 15 giving others a hand or just the kindness.
