On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance war(抗击新型肺炎战), the Ministry of Education issued(公布) a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before March 12. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.
However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect(影响) children's studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.
In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform(平台) where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.
It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection (感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve "no suspension of classes". Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.
Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games which is good for physical health at home.

Do you love cooking, gardening or cleaning around the house? Doing housework will boost (增强) your brainpower, according to new study made by an Australian university.
The study shows that older children are more likely to do housework than younger ones and girls do more housework than boys. For example, only 49% of boys but 70% of girls make their own bed. Doing the dishes is a job for 55% of children, including 50% of boys and 61% of girls. Only 34% of five to seven-year-olds do this task, and 64% of those aged 11 to 13 do it.
“Children who cook a family meal or care for plants in the garden regularly may do better in other aspects (方面) of life-like schoolwork or problem solving,” said Deanna Tepper, the lead researcher.
Ms. Tepper said making a meal or cooking for others was connected to a better memory and the ability to think before acting. “These skills usually begin to develop in early childhood and continue in late adolescence (青春期) and early adulthood,” she said.
Doing housework also makes you responsible for your family. It’ll help you make decisions and build confidence and patience.
These life skills should be learnt from an early age. Now you are not a little girl or a little boy anymore. It is time for you to learn to be independent.
