You may have already forgotten the days when you had to learn how to use chopsticks. Every
Chinese kid manages to use them for some time. But chopsticks are not just simple tools to pick up food. They come with their own special rules and traditions.
Generally, people should not make noise with chopsticks. Playing with chopsticks is seen as bad manners, just as playing with forks and knives in a western country is impolite.
Some people believe that chopsticks should not be left standing upright in a bowl. It looks like the incense (香) that Chinese people use to honor the dead. Doing it at the dinner table is believed to bring bad luck.
You should not knock chopsticks on the edge of the bowl either, as beggars (乞丐) do this to ask for food. Parents might get angry if children do this as they don't want their children to be as poor as beggars in the future.
Besides, chopsticks can also be a great gift. In Chinese, "chopsticks" are known as "kuaizi", so new couples feel happy to receive chopsticks as a wedding gift. Skilled people paint beautiful pictures on chopsticks to make them look like fine artworks.
Today, even some people from western countries are learning to use chopsticks and like to collect them.
More students are turning to online learning. If you're one of them, you should know some helpful tips. First of all, choose a quiet place where nobody or nothing will take your attention away.
Before class starts, set a goal for yourself. A goal gets your mind ready to learn. It gives you an extra purpose in class. It can even help you focus on(集中在)what your teacher is saying.
Active listening is a great way to force yourself to keep awake. Keep your eyes on the screen, instead of looking around the room. Nod, smile and react to what you're hearing.
Usually your teacher can see you raise your hand. That's not so easy on a video classroom. So be sure to follow instructions. Your teacher will let you know how to show that you want to ask or answer a question.
Has anything gone wrong during your online learning? Bumped(被挤出)from the class? App crashed? Don't be nervous! Problems like this will happen. It is not the end of the world. Try logging on(登录)again, check your Wi-Fi or restart your computer or mobile phone if you need to.

YOLO《热辣滚烫》drected and starred by Jia Ling, hit the big screen the second day of the chinese lunar New Year in
2024. The movie is aboutwoman called Du Leying who still lives withparents in her 30s until one day shea boxing(拳击) coach who may just change her life.
Many moviegoers went into the cinema, because they are curious about what Jia Ling like after she lost 50 kilos for her role. In Jia Ling's eyes, the movie is not about boxing or losing weight, rather is a warm-hearted story about "learning to love yourself."
Though I am by the movie, I know that it's impossible for common people the burden of losing 50 kilos in just one year. Losing weight is a long-term goal that consists(组成) of a reachable short-term goals. It would be to exercise regularly and stick to it.
A friend wrote me a letter. His wife got sick seriously and he was1 . He ended his letter with this2 "We can't really change this crazy world, can we?" I started my letter with these words "Yes, we most certainly can!"
I can still remember that someone changed my world. She was rny music teacher. I wanted to
draw her attention. I tried to sing although my voice was quite3 .
One day she let me try playing her piano. I did my best4 could only make mistakes. She looked at me with her kind eyes and said, "We are all good at something. You just need to find out what you are good at. Then you can share it with the world."
Those simple words 5 me.
