Holding out your hands
Autism is a disorder, mostly among kids. In China, there is not enough awareness of the disease. Most people think they are lonely, stupid, and mute but all of them have talent in art, science, etc.
In fact, they are not like what we think. They understand everything. Thus, if you try to communicate with them, they will be content and friendly even if they don't say a word. However, not all of them have certain talents. They just want to spend more time in what they interest and use another way to describe their words in stead of saying them. In their paintings, colours are widely used. We can read their mind by appreciating their paintings.
Some people think that OK we can donate some money. But the truth is that what they need is not money, but concern and awareness of the public. At the time when all of us can talk to them without descriminations, they will smile happier and live without desperations. Holding out your hands, try to talk to them. Love is the best language for communications.

Manners
China has a profound history and there are many manners that I am not familiar with even as a Chinese.
China is a country famous for its tea culture .Chinese tea is completely different from British tea .While drinking tea ,there are a lot of manners .When you invite a guest to ,you are supposed to make tea for them .You should pour your tea slowly from your tea pot when it's done and hot .The cup should be 80% full in case of spoiling .The guest can choose whether he or she drink it or not .However ,if you start to drink but you don't drink it all ,it is impolite of you .
While drinking tea over a meal ,toasting is important .If the other side is older than you or your boss ,your cup is supposed to be lower than his or her .
Feasting is also special in China .The host is seated in the main seat and the hostess is on his right .Important guests should eat first .You'd better stand up to toast everyone and the host should pour alcohol or tea for guests to show respect .You can also bring a small gift to dinner ,but it's impolite to open other people's gift over the meal .
In order to avoid misunderstanding ,obeying the manners is important .

Study abroad
After the final exam ,my debate partner ------ Katherine told me that she would go to an international school to study .I was stunned by this .Since I have entered this school ,many of us left China to study abroad .Everyone is interested in western education system ,so am I .
Two months ago ,I watched a BBC documentary .A group of Chinese teachers went to the UK to teach English students in a typical Chinese education way .The consequence indicated that Chinese education system won because of higher scores in final exams .However ,they had to stay up late in order to finish their homework and even a so-called perfect student struggled a lot to pass the strict PE test ,which means if she became a Chinese student ,she would not probably get a satisfying score in the secondary school entrance test .
This is exactly the best answer to the phenomenon in our school .And it is probably why so many students in Shanghai , a city in China where students can have the best education quality ,are leaving China and even immigrate to another country with their family .
However ,this brain drain phenomenon needs us to change .At the time when less students choose to studying abroad ,China itself will become stronger ,and so will Chinese adolescents themselves .

Stay healthy
Nowadays, with the fast speed of life, more and more people are in poor health. Here are three basic ways to stay healthy.
Firstly, do some regular physical activity. Even small amounts of activity, such as moving around doing light tasks, probably have benefits to health compared with being completely inactive. Physical activity that gets you mildly out of breath and a little sweaty is fine - for example, jogging, heavy gardening, swimming, cycling, etc. Taking a brisk walk each day is something that many people do.
Secondly, eat a healthy diet. Fruit and vegetables are very important. They are rich in Vitamin and fibre to enable you to stay in good shape. Fast food and junk food must be avoided. They consist of fat and sugar. In addition, eat some meat such as chicken ,pork ,beef or fish to get protein and stay energetic.
Lastly, give up your bad habits. Don't drink too much alcohol. Men should drink no more than 21 units of alcohol per week. Women should drink no more than 14 units of alcohol per week. Stopping smoking is often the single most effective thing that you can do to reduce your risk of future illness. Smoking causes lung cancer and other cancers, and increases your risk of heart disease and stroke.

English homework writing
Emergency can occur everywhere at anytime. For instance ,when a fire or an earthquake start at night ,few people can be aware of them at once. Thus, it is extremely important to learn how to deal with an emergency .
First of all, keep calm. Do not scream out or lose your mind. Use your brain to identify what kind of emergency it is and think of some brilliant ways to deal with them. Leave your money behind if you don't want to pass away .Stay calm when you come across an emergency.
Secondly , quickly assess the situation. If someone is hurt, make sure both
you and the injured person are out of immediate danger. Call emergency numbers as soon as possible in a safe area. If other people are seriously injured ,make good use of your first aid kits or try to avoid the unsafe situation .For example, if someone is caught in a PTO, turn the power off if you can safely do so.
Learn how to deal with an emergency because safety should always be the first priority.

I love China
China is an eastern country with a long history .It covers a huge area and has the largest population in the world .
Chinese language is the most unique one .Each character has its meaning and it's really a challenge to learn Chinese .Calligraphy is another expression of the language .Different styles of handwriting can be shown differently .
Two long rivers run across China :the Yellow River and the Yangtze River .Chinese civilization developed from them .They wind across China like a huge dragon and provide convenience for shipping and hydro power .
It will take a long time if you want to visit all the places in China .Because of regional differences ,different parts of China are entirely different from each other .For example ,Beijing is the symbol of Chinese history .Shanghai is a developed metropolitan .While Xinjiang is a representation of ethnic minorities .
China is my mother land and I am proud of being a Chinese .

Freedom lies in self-decipline
Two 13-year-old girls provoked heir teacher into yelling at one of them while the other used her cell phone camera to secretly film him. The girls then posted their video on the Internet on the YouTube website. The teacher had taught for 32 years and had spent many years working with students with discipline problems. The school suspended the two students and banned all students from bringing any type of personal electronic device into the classroom.
I totally agree that freedom lies in self-decipline .The students didn't have self-decipline so they received penalty and they were not free neither .What's more ,the rest students can't be free to bring their cell phones because of them .

My favourite singer
My favourite singer is JJ Lin .He is a song writer from Singapore .He was born in 1981 .When he 4 years old ,he started to play the classic piano .Music was a brand new world for him to express his feeling .When he was in high school ,he enjoyed writing songs with his piano .However ,he was a little bit shy and didn't know how to show his talent .In a singing competition ,he was discovered by a Chinese recording company and started his singing career .At first ,he faced a lot of failure but with his effort ,he wrote a successful song 'Remember' and began to become famous .Later on, he wrote many albums and became a hit in Asia .
I like him not only because of his story ,but also his singing techniques .He is really good at head voice and his voice is flexible and strong .He can sing as high as ladies and his low voice is amazing as well .He can balance his high voice and chest voice perfectly .
His songs are a combination of western and eastern music and a milestone of Chinese pop music .
