So when Kumar talks to his friend Sam about chores, he feels very lucky.

One day, Sam had an idea. He asked Kumar, “Could I borrow your sisters?” He wanted them to help him clean his room, but Kumar’s sisters didn’t agree. Instead, they asked Sam to teach their brother how to do chores, so Kumar could make his own bed.

Nowadays, people are living a fast-paced (快节奏) life and they are not patient (耐心的) enough. For example, we spend much time looking through websites every day. But most of us don’t read the news very carefully. Study shows that people spend just 15 seconds on a piece of news, then they will move on to some other interesting things quickly.

You may think that people will slow down a bit more when they look at the great works of art (艺术品) in the museum. But you are wrong. Most visitors only spend 10 seconds looking at a piece of art. They spend more time taking photos.

Today, many museums in the world really want to make some changes, so over 170 museums around the world are holding “Slow Art Day” to encourage visitors to enjoy art works slowly and deeply. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art. They believe that in that way people can notice different information about the work and get a lot from it.

Phil Terry, who started Slow Art Day, said, “It helps us to see art in a new way and open our eyes!”

The Monkey King is the main character from the famous Chinese story Journey to the West. Most pupils in England heard this story for the first time in November 1979. However, this story is not new to Chinese children.

The Monkey King has a magic stick. He can sometimes make the stick so small that he can put it in his ear. 4. 在其它时候，他能把它变得又大又长。 He uses it to fight bad people. If he sees bad people, he will think of ways to fight them. In fact, he sometimes does not even look like a monkey. This is because he can turn himself into different animals and objects, such as a bee or a fly. 5. But unless he can hide his tail, he cannot turn himself into a human.

The Monkey King has excited the children of China for many years. And as soon as the TV program came out in England, Western children became interested in reading this story. The clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up. He is loved by children all over the world.

Dear David,

How is it going? These days we had a discussion about if students should do volunteer work. Here are the results.

Some student say it not only helps us to develop some life skills, but also makes us experience a different life while doing volunteer work. It’s helpful for us to grow up. However, others disagree. They think doing volunteer work is a waste of time and we should spend more time on schoolwork. What’s more, there is too much stress in school.

As for me, I think we should do some volunteer work when we have free time. It’s not enough for us to just get good grades at school, and we should also learn how to help others.

What’s your opinion? Look forward to hearing from you.

Yours,
