春天到啦，不知道大家心情会不会也变得好起来。世界本身也许不太平，但仍然要记得热爱生活呀！
今天和大家分享的是张爱玲的《爱》里面的一个片段。

“于千万人之中遇见你所要遇见的人，于千万年之中，时间的无涯的荒野里，没有早一步，也没有晚一步，刚巧赶上了，那也没有别的话可说，惟有轻轻地问一声：“噢，你也在这里吗？”

Walnuts Could Help Students with Stress, Says Study

University isn't all sleeping, parties, and video games — many students find it a stressful time, with exams and the beginning of adult life.

But a recent study has suggested that there's a food that could help with some of that stress — walnuts.

Walnuts are known to be a healthy snack. They contain healthy fats and proteins, which are good for the body and the mind.

They may not be the most exciting food for young adults to snack on in a world of pizza and burgers, but they could have a positive effect both on academic stress and on the health of the body.

That's according to researchers from the University of South Australia, who had 80 students take part in their study.

One group of students was asked to eat about half a cup of walnuts every day for 16 weeks. They could eat them as a snack or add them to meals at any time of the day.

The other participants were told not to eat nuts for those 16 weeks.

The researchers found that academic stress was having a negative effect on student's mental health, on the amount of protein in their bodies, and — in female participants — on the diversity of bacteria in their guts.

But these things all improved among those who had been eating walnuts.

Larisa Bobrovskaya, one of the study's authors, said not only are walnuts good for students, they're an easy thing to add to lots of different meals.

However, she also said just having something extra to eat might have made the students feel better, so more research is needed.

IELTS Speaking preparation. Band 8-9 Answers. Part 1 - Law.

Q. Why do you think law and order are important?
Q. Who/which department is most responsible for enforcing the law?
Q. Should laws be more universal?
Q. Is there any law you think is too strict? [Why?/Why not?]
Q. How do people in your country generally think about obeying laws?

Try to connect with what you think ( not what the questions is making you think about). I found it's a lot easier for students to speak what they believe or believed in the past.

Let me know how easy it's going to be doing it this way.

Carnaval chez Cochonnet
Cochonnet, le petit cochon, a décidé que, pour le carnaval, il serait un loup. Évidemment, il n'en a parlé ni à ses parents ni à ses frères.
Le matin, sitôt éveillé, il s'est précipité dans le grenier, il a fouillé dans toutes les malles et a fini par être prêt. Vers midi, quand sa maman l'a appelé pour déjeuner, il a surgi dans la salle en poussant des hurlements féroces. La maman s'est évanouie, le père a pris son fusil, mais Cochonnet a éclaté d’un tel rire que tout le monde l’a reconnu.
