There’s a lovely girl living next door to me. I don’t often see her play with other kids in the neighborhood. It seems that she’s always busy, even on weekends.

Every time I go out to exercise in the early morning, I always see the light in her bedroom be on. She is a pupil now. She often gets up earlier than me on school days.

“Can she get enough sleep?” I asked her mother one day when they came back home from school.

“We have no choice. She can’t lose at the starting line.” answered the mother.

The girl has to go from lessons to lessons on weekends. Every Saturday morning, her grandmother takes her to the violin lessons. In the afternoons, her father drives her to the Children’s Palace to learn dance. In the evenings she has to do homework till 12:00. Every Sunday morning, she has Cambridge English lessons. She has to go to drawing lessons on Sunday afternoons.

“As a girl, if you can go far in the future, you must have a strong base (基础) from your early age. Then you can be different from others.” her father says.

I feel sorry for the girl.

“Don’t you feel tired?” I asked her one day when she came back from the violin lessons.

“As long as my parents are happy, I don’t care.” answered the girl.

The Micro-blog(Micro Blog), short of microblog, is small blogs and mini blogs.

In recent years, Weibo plays an important role in people’s life. According to a report on the development of new media, the users of this media are mainly from young people and this new media also influences people’s lives.

Everything has two sides. So does Weibo. People can enrich their knowledge by paying attention to the topics they are interested in, looking at the knowledge they are interested in, and making like-minded friends by focusing on celebrities, stars, books and so on on Weibo. Weibo also has a negative impact on life. Long time looking through Weibo will not only do harm to eyes, but also a waste of time. Weibo is helpful to passing on information. On the other hand, it speeds up the spread of false information and also arises Network violence.

Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays”? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities.

Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents. The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games, but “Survival Holidays” can change them a lot.

Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled(控制) by adults, but children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them. Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.
