    The following are four kinds of medicine at home. We should know how to use them. Never make any mistakes.

    Should teenagers help their parents do chores? If you want to be an independent one, or you don't want your parents to be too tired, do chores at home.

    I have a classmate called Li Ting. She is the only child in her family. Her parents love her so much that they don't let her do any chores. On weekdays she gets up, has meals, goes to school, has lessons, comes back home, does homework and goes to bed. While on weekends, she only plays with her friends. So she doesn't know how to do chores. One day, her father was badly ill and was in hospital. Her mother had to take care of her father in the hospital and couldn't cook meals for her for a week. Li Ting didn't know how to cook meals. She had a lot of trouble cooking meals and often felt hungry. She only had instant noodles（方便面）for her meals. From the story we know it's important for us to learn to do chores and other skills from now on.

    We all have our own ways of showing our life to others. Artists use brushes, musicians use songs and writers use stories. Spencer Johnson's book Who Moved My Cheese? shows changes exist（存在）in our life. Life changes and so do we. We must change ourselves to face the changing life, or we will fail.

    Just look at the cycle（循环） of the seasons. Trees bud（发芽） in spring and in summer their leaves turn green. In autumn, their leaves start to fall onto the ground. When winter arrives, there are no leaves on trees. Next spring the cycle begins again. We know there are cycles in nature, so we can prepare for（为……做准备） them. There are cycles in nature, so there are also changes in our life.

    We can enjoy the moments when things are going well and get away from the bad ones. We can take the changes in our life as chances（机会）. As we keep changing ourselves, we can keep up with the changes in our life.

—Yes. I have. I went to a water park.
