Helping your children to read and write at home will improve your children’s skills and confidence — it will also make them learn better in the classroom environment.
Reading and writing skills are needed by every child in every subject in every year of their school life and outside school. As parents, you can play an important role in improving your children’s literacy (读写能力) by practicing reading, writing, spelling and speaking with them outside school.

Success is a key goal for most people. We are always trying to find the way to success, which means power, pride and glory (荣誉). There have been many stories of success I was told since I was a child. From then on, I have been hoping to be successful.
What is success? Different people have different opinions. To start with, some people, such as workers and waiters / waitresses, are looking forward to becoming rich, which allows them to buy what they want. They treat it as success. What’s more, some contestants, such as players, sportsmen and singers, are always trying their best to win. As long as they win, they believe that they are stronger than others. Last but not least, there are some other people who enjoy helping others. As the saying goes, the roses in her hand, the flavor (香味) in mine. Through helping others, we can also feel happy and successful.
In my opinion, success is quite simple. It means you can live the life you want and you can feel happy very often. Sometimes, money cannot bring you happiness, and you can’t have the feeling of success, because money is just the tool (工具) to achieve your goal but never the goal. Therefore, look for what you really want and then work hard for it. Then you are close to success.

| Our 4th-grade class is studying how things have changed over time. To get more information, I spoke with my great-grandmother to find out what her school was like when she was my age. The following is what she told me. |
My school was called Algoe School. It was built in 1902 and was a one-room school. There was only one teacher, but the students were from different grades. Algoe School sometimes had as many as 18 students, but once there were only two.
We all had jobs to do every day. The teacher rang the school bell every morning. There was a flagpole (旗杆) in front of our school. We raised the flag every morning. At noon break, one student cleaned the blackboard. Some students swept the floor. And two students had the job of walking to a nearby farm to bring back a big bag of drinking water.
In winter, our school was heated by a wood-burning stove (炉子). On very cold mornings, we all sat around the stove and the teacher gave us lessons. Although it was very cold, we all felt happy.
