Wang Xizhi was a famous Chinese calligrapher. He lived in the Jin Dynasty. People call him the “Sage (圣人) of Calligraphy”. When he was young, he loved writing. He practised every day. Once, he was so focused that he forgot to eat. His family brought him food, but he used the food as ink!

He liked geese. He watched how geese moved their necks and used the idea in his writing. His most famous work is “Lantingji Xu” (兰亭集序). It is one of the best works of Chinese calligraphy.

Chinese calligraphy is not just writing. It is an art. It uses brush, ink, paper and inkstone (砚). These are called the “Four Treasures of the Study”. Calligraphy can show a person’s feelings. When you write, you should be calm and careful.

Today, many young people learn calligraphy. They find it a good way to relax and learn Chinese culture. Some schools have calligraphy clubs. Students can write poems and famous sayings. They also learn that practice makes perfect.

Nowadays more teenagers start to take exercise. Some love ball games. Others try traditional Chinese sports such as Taijiquan. Taijiquan is welcomed by both the young and old. People practise it in parks early in the morning. Slow movements help people relax their bodies and reduce stress.

However, exercise can also bring injuries if you are careless. Many students get hurt in PE classes or after-school sports. Common problems include sore muscles, cuts, knee-hurts and backaches.

What can we do to keep safe while exercising? First, warm yourself up before you start sports. If you jump or run without warming up, you may easily hurt yourself. Second, you should listen to your own body. You shouldn’t push yourself too hard. If you feel great pain, you must stop exercising right away. You could rest for some time instead of keeping going. Third, learn simple self-care skills. For small cuts, clean the wound and put on bandages. If your knees hurt badly, you should see a doctor rather than keep playing sports.

Remember, the purpose of exercise is to make us healthy, not to push our bodies to the limit (限制). Health is not everything, but you have nothing without it.

Many teenagers have hobbies. Some hobbies are just for fun, but some can also help us deal with emotions. Let’s meet two students.

Lily is 14. She likes painting. She started painting when she was ten. At that time, she felt lonely because she moved to a new city. She had no friends. One day, her mother gave her some paints. Lily began to paint pictures of her old home and her new school. “When I paint, I forget my worries,” she says. “Painting helps me express my feelings. Sometimes I paint a dark picture when I am sad. After that, I feel better.” Now Lily has many friends, but she still paints every weekend.

Ben is 15. He loves running. He joined the school running club last year. At first, he couldn’t run fast. He felt upset and wanted to give up. His coach said, “Don’t be too hard on yourself. The first step is always the hardest.”

Ben kept practising. Now he can run 3 kilometres. “Running makes me feel strong and confident,” Ben says. “When I feel stressed, I go for a run. It helps me clear my mind.”

Lily and Ben have different hobbies, but both hobbies help them stay positive. Hobbies can be a way to relax, to express feelings, and to make friends. If you feel sad or stressed, try to find a hobby. It may take time, but it can make your life better.

Remember: you don’t need to be perfect. You just need to enjoy it.

China is a large country with many natural wonders. From high mountains to deep lakes, there is always something amazing to see.

Mount Qomolangma is the highest mountain in the world. It is 8,848.86 metres high. It is in the Himalayas (喜马拉雅山脉). Climbers from all over the world come to challenge it. In 1960, a Chinese team reached the top from the northern side for the first time. They showed great courage. Today, scientists still study the mountain.

The Yellow River is the second longest river in China. It is about 5,464 kilometres long. It is called the “mother river” because it helped ancient Chinese civilization (文明) grow. The water carries yellow soil (泥土), so it looks yellow. Hukou Waterfall (壶口瀑布) is a famous part of the river. It is very powerful and loud.

Qinghai Lake is the largest lake in China. It is a salt lake in Qinghai Province.
