I also went to Gloucestershire to give out food and other supplies (供给) when the earthquake hit the county in 2007. After leaving college, the Red Cross offered me a job because of what I had done for it at college. The Red Cross helped me out.

After two years of the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠), England’s GCSE exams have been changed. It influences Year 11 exam takers, like me. Back in February, the government said they would reduce the number of knowledge we need to know for the summer exams. This is because of the many stops in our education over the past two years. Not all schools were able to continue teaching their students during that period. Reductions on the learning knowledge come mostly as a relief (减负) but also cause some problems. We are pleased that there was less knowledge to learn, but what’s been cut out is not always clear. And the work for students can get a bit too heavy sometimes. But my friends and I are still happy with the reductions. With the final exams coming up in two weeks, everyone in my year is busy studying.

Not faraway, groups of visitors stopped by the sea to take photos. They had big smiles on their faces as if to say “Look at us. We are here, and you are not”. Of all the people I saw, only a few seemed to be “present”. Most just seemed to take a shot and get back on the road. What color was the sea? How warm was the sand? What kinds of birds or fishes were there? They didn’t care. It is the same in our daily lives. Most of us spend a lot of time looking at screens. These small screens help us stay in touch with the people we love. But they also make us miss the happiness around us. The screens themselves aren’t really the problems, but how we use them is the question. Sometimes, it’s such a pleasure to put down the screens. Why not stand up like a child by the sea, with eyes, arms and heart wide open? The kind of pleasure called being alive is something that we need to pay attention. 53.
