Dear friends,
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
When I was about 10, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr Lee. I knew I could see Mr Lee anytime around the neighbourhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, “You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street. ” That sentence sounds simple but it makes me become who I am.
At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was going on. But I also spoke to the people in the cafe and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no matter how humble (卑微的)they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.
I've become vice-president, but that hasn't changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too. The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realise how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.
The Spring Festival, also (call) Chinese New Year, is one of the traditional festivals in China. It has long history and is very (importance) for Chinese people. The coming of the Spring Festival means the old year comes to an end and the new year begins. Before the Spring Festival, people clean (they) houses and decorate doors and windows with paper-cuts. New Year's Eve, family members get together and have a big dinner to celebrate the festival by (eat) dumplings.
Not only adults like the Spring Festival also children like it very much. Because on that day, children can wear new clothes and watch dragon and lion dances on the street. More importantly, they can (give) lucky money by grandparents, parents and other relatives. Besides these traditional (active), people in recent years have preferred to travel around during the seven-day holiday, may bring more fun to the whole family.
Children spend more time messaging each other on phones and websites than talking in person, a survey has revealed. Text messages and social networking sites have become the common mode of youngsters aged 8 to 14.
A survey of modern childhood found that many youngsters are conscious that they are spending too much time on their computers and enjoy themselves the most when playing outside. But the lure (诱惑) of electronic products proves too strong for a quarter, while a fifth say their parents don't like them playing outside because they are worried about strangers and injuries.
The “iGeneration report” suggested that youngsters are increasingly healthconscious and skeptical (持怀疑态度的) of commercialization, including genderbased labelling on toys and pop videos released by singers. More than half of those questioned care about eating healthily and one in 10 lectures their own parents about the food they are eating or buying, 42 percent of those questioned own a smartphone, with 36 percent admitting spending more time communicating with friends via instant messaging, such as texts or networking websites, than talking in person. Only one child in 100 said that being happy, having a loving family and being clever were taken as the most crucial (决定性的) elements in their lives.
Cary Cooper, the professor of organizational psychology and health at Lancaster University, said social media were contributing to youngsters becoming more independent. They had a sense of individuality due to exposure to a range of media.
The survey follows major statebacked research which found that youngsters are turning their back on drink, drugs and smoking. It found a dramatic drop in the number of secondary school students trying and regularly using drugs, alcohol and tobacco. Some analysts said that thanks to the rise of social media, millions of teenagers are spending their time at home in their rooms rather than out on the streets.
