"The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence." That's an old in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place you live. Some people worry young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and, instead, Japanese cartoon books,watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.
Foreign books and soap operas are good, Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can have the meaning for
Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with.
Mid-autumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best:
7 friendliness. Not all countries are as as China.
It's good to enjoy other cultures and to learn them, but they cannot replace your own culture. It's good to look on the other side of the fence, but you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other
side of the fence.

My earliest memories of writing are only school homework, nothing of any creativity. All that one day, when Mrs Kumar asked us to write “An autobiography(自传) of a pencil”.
For me, it was just another piece of homework, Mrs Kumar reacted(表现) very differently. Maybe she was just being , or maybe she really liked the work. Whatever her , she read it out to the class as an example of “fine writing”. A few years later, I went back to my old school. I was walking through the corridors(走廊) when I passed by Mrs Kumar, who was still teaching her class. She looked up as I passed and I , not wanting to disturb her. Seeing me, she went out and invited me into her class. “This girl is one of the best this school has seen,” she said. “She wrote a wonderful autobiography of a pencil. I hope some of you can learn to write like her. ”Even after all these years, I can still clearly remember that moment. My face shines with whenever I tell someone this experience. I am sure I was not the only student whose school homework Mrs Kumar . It is likely that she made an effort to make each one of us feel . However, I had never had anybody praise(表扬) my writing before that. It encouraged me to do better to prove to her that “Look! Your in me has worked. I am good, because you believe I am. ”Today, I am a successful writer. Thanks to Mrs Kumar, my are not only a tool(工具) to use. They are also a symbol of little beginnings and the power of a teacher’s encouragement.
