Rob Frenette has suffered from bullying (欺凌) at school for eleven years. He was often lonely and afraid at school.

After a long time of suffering from sadness and pain, he decided to say goodbye to his past life and do something about his problems. When he was fifteen, he walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk with him about his experiences.

After that, Rob continued his studies at school, but in his free time, he helped other people with bullying problems. With his friend Katie, he made a website called www.bullyingcanada.ca. Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying. When people are upset, they can talk online to Rob and his team. Every weekend, Rob has to answer e-mails to the website. He also speaks to children, teachers and members of government around the country about bullying. Rob’s most important message is: “When bullying happens to you, it isn’t your fault (过错). So you should try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that people care about your problems.”

One of Rob’s ideas is “Blue Day”, a special day for stopping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue clothes in class, and learn how to stop bullying. More than 150 Canadian schools celebrate Blue Day now. However, Rob won’t stop until there’s a Blue Day in every school in Canada.

近年来全国校园欺凌事件频频发生，为了提高青少年的自我防范意识和保护能力，希望中学初三（1）班围绕校园欺凌问题召开主题班会。假定你是班长李华，以“How to Protect Ourselves in School Bullying”为标题写一篇发言稿。

How to Protect Ourselves in School Bullying

Recently, the problem of school bullying has been brought into focus. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

My name is Peter. Since I’m an 18-year-old student now, I think it is the perfect time for me to take real responsibility (责任) for myself and begin a new challenge. I have already finished high school, spend long time making friends, and finding out path for my future. So I started to do a part-time job this year.

Now, I have a lot of opportunities to get a part-time job. If I get a job at school, I can work in the school libraries or bookshops. If I work outside the school, I can be a shopping guide at the mall or work as a waiter at fast food restaurants.

However, what I do as a part-time job is to help international high-school students learn the subjects like English and history. I help these students through online classes. This way, I am actually doing something that a lot of people nowadays could only dream of doing that is working at home.

The job really isn’t too difficult because I have some teaching experience when I was in high school. I can also learn a lot from it. I see doing a part-time as something that brings me a lot of advantages. It not only gives me some pocket money but also teaches me skills that cannot be learned from university classes. These include skills such as interpersonal communication, time management and financial (财务的) planning.

I think that part-time jobs are not something that everyone should do. It requires the ability to manage one’s time wisely and find the perfect balance between work and study.

双减政策下，学生的劳动与社会实践能力越来越得到重视。假如你是李明，现在你们学校举办“劳动实践周”活动，请你给同学们写一篇题为“Do More Labor Practice”演讲稿，邀请所有同学积极参加。

Do More Labor Practice

I would like to talk about labor practice. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

That’s all. Thank you!

Teenagers will finally grow up some day, leaving their parents and facing the challenges in life alone, so they should learn basic life skills and form good working habits.

According to People’s Daily, a recent study showed that primary and middle school students in China.

However, housework like cooking and cleaning always send up at the bottom of many of our to-do lists. Because of study pressure, schools always focus on the courses, and parents sometimes see housework as distractions(干扰). Some people even think that they should be taken care of by our parents. It seems that hard-working spirit education has been overlooked(轻视) in recent years. Many teenagers do not value the importance of working hard.

They only spend 12 minutes a day on average(平均) on housework, compared to 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France.

The Chinese government has been trying to pay attention to the importance of hard-working spirit education(劳动教育). Primary and middle schools should provide students with hard-working spirit courses every week. Parents are encouraged to help their children learn how to do housework at home. Teenagers should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tiding their rooms. The basic skills may help teens to solve the problems they will meet in the future.

In fact, these life skills are important and should be taught as part of labor education.

国家提出了将劳动教育(Labor Education)纳入中小学国家课程的方案。为此，你校英语报发起了“A Helper at Home”主题征文活动。请结合自身情况，用英语写一篇短文投稿，谈谈你的一次家务劳动的经历。

A Helper at Home

As we all know, housework plays an important role in our daily life.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
