The students divided the work into groups. One group designed posters to remind people to bring reusable bags. Another group made a list of rooms where lights were often forgotten.

However, after two weeks, they saw changes. More families began to use cloth bags, and the school saved electricity in several classrooms. The community office also promised to draw new bike lines near the gate. Chen Yu learned that green development was not just a big topic at a forum. It could begin with 14____ actions.
When the class shared the project, their teacher said, “A better city is built by many people, not by one meeting.” Chen Yu wrote in his notebook, “If we pay attention to problems around us, we can become part of the 15____.” The project also changed the way students looked at the city.

If they are not handled properly, they may waste useful materials and even hurt the environment.
A science club in Zhejiang invited an engineer to give a talk. She explained that used batteries could be collected, tested and recycled. Some materials inside them could be used again. The students were surprised because they had thought recycling was only about paper, bottles and cans. The talk helped them 22____ that modern environmental protection needs science and careful management.
After the talk, the club started a school activity called “Know Your Battery”. Students made a board to show how batteries travel from factories to cars and then to recycling centers. They also reminded families not to buy unsafe chargers online, because safety is as important as convenience. The activity did not make every student an engineer, but it made them ask 23____ questions about technology.
One student said, “A green future is not only about using new things.

In 2026, more middle schools across China started using AI tools in classrooms. In Hangzhou, several schools introduced smart systems to help students make study plans, check homework mistakes and review difficult points after class. Some students said the systems were like patient study partners, because they could explain one question in different ways. However, teachers also reminded students that AI should only be used as a helper, not as a replacement for their own thinking.
Some students depended too much on AI and handed in answers without checking them carefully. To solve this problem, schools began to teach students how to use AI responsibly. For example, students were asked to write down their own ideas first and then compare them with AI answers. If the answers were different, they had to explain why. In group projects, they also checked whether the information from AI was true before using it in presentations. A report showed that about 68% of middle school students in Zhejiang used AI tools at least once a week.
Many students said AI made learning more convenient, but some teachers worried students might become lazy if they used it too often. One teacher said, “Technology changes education, but students still need to ask good questions, think independently and create on their own.”

According to a travel report, subway passenger numbers increased greatly during the holiday.

In 2026, museums became more popular among Chinese teenagers. During summer holidays, many students visited museums to learn history, science and traditional culture. In Beijing, the National Museum started night activities for young visitors. Students could join games, listen to stories and watch light shows inside the museum. Some museums also used digital screens and small tasks to guide visitors through different halls. These changes made museums feel less like quiet rooms and more like open classrooms.
Instead of only reading information on walls, students could touch models, answer questions and discuss ideas with classmates. Some students said museums were more interesting than before because visitors could now join interactive activities. However, museum workers also reminded visitors to follow rules. Touching models did not mean touching every object. Students had to protect real cultural relics while enjoying new ways of learning.
Teachers believed museums could help students connect classroom learning with real life. For example, a history lesson about ancient China became easier to understand after students saw real objects.

After several Chinese athletes won international competitions in 2026, more middle school students became interested in sports. In Zhejiang, schools added longer PE classes and organized more basketball, football and badminton matches. Some schools also opened playgrounds after class so that students could practise safely. A survey showed that students who exercised regularly often felt happier and healthier.

At first, a few parents worried that sports would take time away from study. Later, they found that children who exercised properly often managed time better and became more energetic. Schools also asked students to warm up carefully and learn how to avoid injuries.
Experts said sports could help teenagers not only build strong bodies but also learn teamwork and confidence. During a match, students need to trust partners, follow rules and face failure bravely.

In 2026, China continued making progress in space exploration. News about Chinese astronauts, space stations and new space technology attracted the attention of many teenagers. Some schools held “Space Science Weeks” to introduce students to astronomy and space technology. Students watched videos about rockets, designed simple models in class and discussed how astronauts live and work in space.
In some science clubs, students even tried to solve small engineering problems, such as how to keep a model rocket stable. They learned that a tiny change in shape or weight might influence the result. Li Kai, a middle school student, said he became interested in science after learning about China’s space missions. Before that, he thought science was only a school subject. Later, he found it could help people explore the unknown world.
Li Kai hoped to become an engineer in the future, but his teacher told him that big dreams also needed patient practice. Students should read, calculate, test and improve their ideas again and again. Teachers believed space education could encourage students to dream bigger and study science more actively, because it shows young people that knowledge can lead to real exploration.
