How do you know about the weather this week? By listening to the radio or watching TV? We can also know it by watching some animals. They can know the changes of the weather easily and do something for the bad weather.

Bees can “talk” to others by dancing and know the changes in a short time. Bees won’t go out on rainy days. When birds fly high out to the sea, it is a nice day. When the weather becomes bad, birds will come back to the beach. Birds do not like to fly in a strong wind.

Other animals can also tell the weather. When the rain is coming, fish will jump out of the water. Ants will move homes away. Chickens won’t be quiet, and they will run here and there. Frogs will make noise in the pool. If it is a nice day, the frogs will come out of the water.

We can also know the coming of the rain by other animals. It is really interesting, isn’t it?

Learn more and know more from now on.

In February, 2026, 45 American students and teachers came to China for a special cultural communication (交流). They visited four places — Shenzhen, Jiangxi, Henan and Beijing. During their 10-day trip, they experienced Chinese New Year celebrations in a very traditional way.

In Shenzhen, they wrote the Chinese character “Fu” and made paper cuttings with Chinese students. “It feels like coming back to my second home,” said Hailey, an American student who visited China before.

The best part of their trip was playing pickleball (匹克球) together. Pickleball is a sport that mixes tennis, badminton and ping-pong. It’s easy to learn and fun to play. Through the game, they made many new friends. “Sports can bring people together,” said Sarah, their teacher. “We don’t just play a game. We build bridges of friendship.”

In Henan’s Xunxian Ancient Town, they watched exciting lion dances and iron fireworks — a traditional art form where melted iron (融化的铁) is thrown into the air to create sparks (火花). “It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” said Tom, a 15-year-old student.

Their last stop was Beijing. There, they visited the Tian’anmen Square and wrote “China-US Friendship” with Chinese brushes. Before leaving, they all said they would certainly come back to China again.
