SAll in all,though modem tools make communication easicr,we should not depend on them too much.We need to put down our phones sometimes and have real face-to-face talks with people around us.

Plum blossoms love sunlight and dry soil,and can live temperatures as low as-10C.They can even live for hundreds of years.Their growth is special:shoots grow in summer,rest in autumn,and bloom in winter when the weather is cold enough. The plum blossom is one of the "Three Friends of Winter"together with pine and bamboo.For 办 thousands of ycars,it has been a symbol of perseverance,purity and bravery in Chinese culture.Poets like Wang Anshi wrote famous pocms about it.His line "From afar,I know it is not snow,for a faint fragrance()comes to me"perfectly describes its quiet beauty and strong will.
