    Got a moment -or, maybe, 15seconds?

Enter Douyin, which is one of the most popular apps in China; it has over one billion daily plays every day now. Users can make funny short music videos whatever they want.

    It is around midnight when Louise wakes up. At first she doesn't know what wakes her up, but suddenly she hears a noise. It is coming from downstairs(楼下).

    Lei Haiwei, a 37-year-old fast food courier (快递员) from Hunan Province, got first place in a televised Chinese poetry knowledge competition. He beat other competitors, including a master's degree (硕士学位) graduate from Peking University, in the third season of the Chinese Poetry Conference on CCTV on April4,2018.

    "My interest in ancient poems began as early as I was six years old. My father hoped I would grow up to be a man who keeps the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas in mind," the courier said.

    In 2002, the younger Lei found a job in Shanghai and began to read books related to ancient poems at bookstores or libraries in his spare time, since he didn't make much money. The young man also developed a habit of reciting poems he liked and writing them down after returning home.

    Though Lei worked as a fast food courier in Hangzhou later, his love for poems never died. Even on his busiest work days, he used any available moment to recite poems. "For example, I am used to reciting poems when I wait for food at restaurants, and traffic lights on my way to delivering food. Reciting poems not only enriches my knowledge, but also makes my job less boring. As for my future plan, I will stick to reading and reciting poems," Lei said.

    Australia has always had bushfires, but this year it's had an early and huge start to the bushfire season. Several bushfires that were already huge have joined together to cover an area of nearly 2,000 square miles.

    It's hard to find enough fire fighters and equipment to deal with all the fires. This week, the government began to get the army involved(参与) in the fire-fighting.

    Though thousands of fire fighters have been working to fight the fires, some fires are simply too large to be controlled. Winds have helped spread the fires. And dry weather conditions have made it harder to find the water needed.

    Recent fires have trapped(困住) some people in cities and towns along the coast. On Wednesday, around 4,000 people were forced to the beach by a big bushfire and trapped there until the wind direction changed.

    Tourists have been told to leave a 112-mile-long stretch(地带) of coast in New South Wales. Fire fighters warn that visitors leave the area before Saturday, when conditions are expected to get worse.

    However, leaving won't be easy, since many roads are closed and many gas stations are running low on fuel(燃料). What would help the most at this point is rain. An expert said, "It was nature which started the fires and it will be nature that stops these fires."

Whether you're eating at home, dining out, or having dinner with friends, good table manners for kids are an important part of every meal. When you teach your child good table manners, you are giving him important tools for social interaction(社交) that will serve him for the rest of his life.

Come to the table with his hands and face clean. Teach your child always to wash up before dinner. This not only shows respect(尊重) for the person who prepared the meal as well as others at the dinner table, but also is an important healthy habit.

Whether at home or someone else's house, always ask adults if he can help do anything to get ready for dinner.

Wait until everyone is served before eating. Tell your child never to begin eating until everyone is seated and served.

Chewing(咀嚼)with his mouth closed and not talking when his mouth is full are two important rules of good table manners. Teach your child to take small bites and never wolf down his food.

Never reach across the table to get salt or anything else he needs.

If you are at a restaurant, teach him to make eye contact with the waiter and say "thank you".

Good table manners will make people who are with your child feel comfortable. When your child shows respect, he will get great things in return.

If you think you are shy and want to be a little bit braver, try the following tips. You can make it.

There is no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they'll understand you better. This also helps you feel more relaxed in talks.

When you smile, people will think you are friendly and easy to talk to. Remember that other people have feelings, too. And most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.

If you find it hard to start talks, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person?

Think more about the ways to enjoy the party or the game. Don't waste time worrying about your looks or whether people like you or not.

Each time after you say" Hi" or smile at someone for the first time, say to yourself" I did it !" Or it could be something bigger, like talking to someone you don't know.

Keep trying and one day you'll never be shy when you talk to others.

When we think of summer, most of us think of fun activities outdoors. So it seems easy to lose weight over the summer. In fact, though, it's quite possible for us to put on weight. The good news is that we can avoid these problems if we know these ways.

Here are some ways to keep summer weight away.

When we don't have a plan, it's easy to spend summer moving from bed to the computer. So it is necessary to make a work or study plan, like learning a new skill or working at a job.

Because we don't have to go to school, it's easy to sleep late, watch too much TV and eat more snacks as usual. So it's necessary to make sure your summer days follow a schedule -- getting up at the same time each day and eating meals as usual times.

Whenever you're free, find something special to do, like making a dinner for your family. But remember: limit your screen time, no more than two hours a day.

If it's too hot outside or you don't like going to a gym, you can do you exercise indoors. If you love being outdoors, try swimming, running or playing soccer in the early morning or evening. Anyway, don't let the heat stop your exercise plans.

Don't eat too much meat. Choose some fresh fruit. It's better to put your focus on talking with your family and friends, not on food. Also, don't eat too many frozen things like ice cream.
