(厦门期中)Post your problems on the blog and get other bloggers' advice!
Ask
My problem is my parents. They never stop going on about how I should keep my room tidy, keep my hair tidy and wear smart clothes. They even make me do the washingup after dinner every night! What should I do?
Helen, USA
Answer
Hi, Helen. I think you should do what your parents ask. You should respect them. It's their house you live in and their money you spend.
Emily, New Zealand
Why do you think you're the only one with parents like that? All parents are the same. They don't understand that fashions have changed in the last 30 years!
Tom, Canada
Helen, why should your parents do all the chores? You should help around the house. I think it's OK for students to wear school uniforms. Teenagers should look like teenagers.
Simon, Scotland
Ask
My best friend has suddenly become an exfriend and I don't know why! Last week we phoned each other every day and emailed too. But at school on Monday she didn't look at me or speak to me. I don't know what I've done.
Gimbya, India
Answer
I feel sorry for you, Gimbya. My best friend did the same to me and I still don't know the reason. Could you ask another friend to speak to her for you? George, France
Don't worry about it so much! Phone your friend up as usual and she won't be able to ignore(忽视)you. Everything will be fine.
Aisha, Nigeria

(广州期末)When I was seven, my grandfather gave me a small sunflower for my birthday. That started my lifelong love for 1 .
Later, every weekend, I 2 our garden with my grandfather. He taught me to watch plants 3 . In spring, we watched the little plants push through the soil. In summer, we found roses become brighter after the rain. In winter, we studied the pine trees standing strong in the snow. Each season brought me something 4 , making my days full of joy. I knew much about plants that I'd never heard of before.
As I grew older, 5 plants became my favourite. I asked 6 questions: How do plants “drink” water without a mouth? Why do some plants eat insects?…My grandfather didn't always have 7 , but he took me to the city library at weekends. There, I always read many books to work them out. With every problem I solved, my curiosity took deeper root.
Three years ago, I started to make videos and post them online. I guided viewers through rainforest, desert oases, and even their own 8 . “Nature shares its secrets with those who look 9 ,” I always told them. Now I'm a host of “World of Wonders”. My program attracts viewers from overseas. It's exciting to see a large part of my audience also begin to tell their stories about everyday plants. I never thought my program could be so 10 .
Looking back, I think my career started from the sunflower. And it grew like plants, with great care, hard work and patience.

[小伙为救同学缺考]Imagine you are on your way to take a very important exam. Suddenly, one of your classmates falls down beside you. This is exactly what happened to Jiang Zhaopeng, a 17yearold student at a vocational school in Shandong on 10th May 2025. Jiang was on his way to take the Shandong Provincial Spring College Entrance Examination, which is a college entrance exam in China. His classmate had a heart problem and stopped breathing. Jiang didn't think twice. He quickly used the CPR(cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 心肺复苏)skills he learned at school to help his classmate. With the help of the driver, they drove to the hospital in just 7 minutes. They even ran through six red lights on the way. In the end, Jiang's classmate got better, but Jiang missed his Chinese exam.
This story became very popular on the Internet. More than 2 million people online said Jiang was a hero. They said, “He passed the most important test in life.” On 14th May, the Shandong Education Authority decided to give Jiang a special makeup exam. They used backup test papers to ensure fairness. Both Jiang and the driver, Wang Tao, got “Bravery Certificates” from the local government.
Teachers and experts said this showed how useful the firstaid skills we learned in school could be. These skills can help save lives in real emergencies(突发事件). When people asked Jiang about missing the exam, he said, “We can take exams again, but we can't bring a life back if it's gone.”
This event teaches us that being kind is more important than getting good grades. As an expert said, “Exams test our knowledge, but Jiang's decision showed his good character, and he did very well in that test.” Jiang's story tells us that saving someone's life is the biggest success of all.
