I often left my clothes and books everywhere, so our house was always messy. Every morning, my mom would get up early to prepare breakfast for me, while my dad would rush to work after quickly having a bite. In the evening, they would come back home exhausted, yet still take on the tiring housework without a word of complaint. One day, my mom came home from work and saw the messy rooms. She was upset and said, “From today, you must help with chores every day.” At first, I felt it was unfair. Why should I do chores when I had so much homework? But I still listened to her. On the first day of doing chores, I tried to sweep the floor. The dust flew everywhere, and I had to sweep the same spot several times to make it clean. Washing dishes was even worse—my hands got all wrinkled from the water, and I accidentally broke a plate. After a week, I realized chores were much harder than I thought. My parents worked all day and still did so much at home! I decided to try different chores—sweeping, washing dishes, and folding clothes. This way, my parents could rest when they came back. They smiled and praised my efforts. My dad even taught me some useful tips for folding clothes neatly. Now I understand: kids shouldn’t depend on parents for everything.

I was lucky enough to have the chance to travel to Shanghai for a one-month exchange (交换) program at East China Normal University (华东师大) in the summer of 2023. We received a warm welcome on the first day, and the teachers showed us around the beautiful campus (校园). After the tour, we enjoyed a delicious meal on campus. Our language classes were taught in Chinese, and our teacher didn’t allow us to speak any English. “If I catch you speaking English more than five times, you’ll have to buy ice cream for the whole class.” she said with a smile. This was challenging at first, but in the end, my listening and speaking skills improved much faster than they did when I studied in Australia. Life outside the classroom was just as fun. The shopping center stayed open until 10 p.m. every night, and there were many restaurants, museums, and other popular places nearby. All of these were just a 15-20 minute subway ride away. Besides traveling around Shanghai after class, we spent our last day visiting the headquarters (总部) of a Chinese company (公司).

Every morning, my mom would get up early to prepare breakfast for me, while my dad would rush to work after quickly having a bite. In the evening, they would come back home exhausted, yet still take on the tiring housework without a word of complaint. One day, my mom came home from work and saw the messy rooms. She was upset and said, “From today, you must help with chores every day.” At first, I felt it was unfair. Why should I do chores when I had so much homework? But I still listened to her. On the first day of doing chores, I tried to sweep the floor. The dust flew everywhere, and I had to sweep the same spot several times to make it clean. Washing dishes was even worse—my hands got all wrinkled from the water, and I accidentally broke a plate. After a week, I realized chores were much harder than I thought. My parents worked all day and still did so much at home! I decided to try different chores—sweeping, washing dishes, and folding clothes. This way, my parents could rest when they came back. They smiled and praised my efforts. My dad even taught me some useful tips for folding clothes neatly. Now I understand: kids shouldn’t depend on parents for everything.

Jingwei Tries to Fill up the Sea Once upon a time, the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, went boating on the Eastern Sea. While she was enjoying herself, a strong wind rose on the sea, and her boat sank to the sea. Her spirit turned into a beautiful bird after she died. She cried sadly in the sound “Jingwei, Jingwei”. That was why people called her “Jingwei”. The bird lived on a mountain near the sea. She was so sad that she decided to fill up the sea. Every day, she flew between the mountain and the sea, carrying a stone or a tree branch (树枝) from the mountain and dropping it into the sea. One day, the sea said to Jingwei, “Poor little bird, stop doing that meaningless thing! You’ll never fill me up.” Jingwei replied, “I’ll fill you up no doubt! I will, even if it will take me thousands of years! I’ll fight on without taking a rest.” Robinson Crusoe Robinson Crusoe is a main character from a novel named Robinson Crusoe. When Robinson first arrived on the island, he had nothing. But he found the ship and made a small boat. He brought back many things he could use—food and drink, tools, knives and guns.

One day, she talked to a Chinese friend on her mobile phone on the New York subway. A foreign woman stood beside her. She used a Chinese word quite a lot. Its pronunciation was like a rude English word. So the woman angrily glared at (盯着) her. Ms. Tang also shared an experience. It happened when she was in Australia. It was a sunny day. She walked on the street with an umbrella. She wanted to protect herself from the sunlight. A man behind her asked, “Is it raining?” In Australia, people don’t use umbrellas on sunny days. So the man thought it was awkward. We can see cultural differences between countries from the two stories. How should we deal with the differences? Here are some suggestions.
