Looking for Crafts（手艺）is a documentary about the story of 199 Chinese Craftsmen．We can watch it online． Although it doesn't show beautiful pictures or exciting scenes， it quietly tells the story of traditional Chinese Crafts and their special skills． After watching the film， the warmth and faith（信念） of the traditional culture may deeply touch you．
Zhang Jin， the director of the documentary is from the countryside of Hunan． After living in a moden and busy city for many years， he became to miss the traditional crafts of his hometown，so he made a decision to record them． He sold his apartment and invited two friends to join him and travelled all over China．The film was made without professional filming machines or much money． Yet its narration （带有口音的旁白）made people feel at home．
In the film you can see an 80﹣year old man who makes paper umbrellas with bamboo for the Dai people．Making umbrellas is a long process that includes six steps． but he has continued with his hobby for 60 years．After watching the film， many people wanted to buy such an umbrella，but the old man was dead．
It's easy to notice that the hands of these craftsmen are full of wrinkles（皱纹）﹣ these craftsmen are using their lives to protect our culture heritage（遗产）． From making a piece of clay to crating a musical instrument， these crafts are hard work．
True artists give up their own comfortable lives to produce what's in their heart， which is believed to be the real meaning and the purpose of making this documentary． The film reminds people the importance of the crafts． And it has also caught a lot of attention．
I hope these ancient and wonderful skills will still be alive forever．

People use their mouths for many things．They eat，talk，shout and sing．They smile and kiss．In the English language，there are many expressions using the word"mouth"．But some of them are not so nice．

Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family．There is an expression for this，too．You might say such a person"was born with a silver spoon in his mouth"．This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from"hand to mouth"．This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life，like food．

Starting senior high school can be difficult．You may feel nervous because you don't know where to go for class．Meeting new friends might make you nervous，too．Don't worry．You are not alone．You are going to school with a group of students of your age，and we have several suggestions to share．
•Stay clean．No one likes a classmate with a bad smell．So you need to shower every day，brush your teeth and wash your hair．Try to make yourself look tidy，whatever you wear．
•Forget your fear and just talk to someone．Take a deep breath and find your voice．Introduce yourself and start a conversation about something you have in common．Sit in the middle of the classroom with many new friends around you．
•Differences are not a problem．Everyone has his own opinion of the world and everyone believes in different things．You'll find it good to have friends with different ideas．In this way，you can share and learn a lot more from each other．
•Join clubs．What clubs can you join？You can join the ones with the after﹣school activities that interest you．Being in a club helps you be more social．If not，you will just go to class and then go home．
•Ask others to join you．Are you sad being alone while others are playing happily？You will probably say"yes"．So remember to be kind to the people around you．If you see someone sitting alone，invite him to hang out or play games together．

| Letter A Young people are always told that they should make the most of their time，that they will never be as free again So，my question is﹣why fill up all this free time with housework？Parents expect their children to get good grades，be good at sports，and be popular with other kids．However，there is not enough time in the day to do these things and then do housework as well．It's not fair to expect teenagers to give up their precious time to do boring housework．Parents and children both have jobs．Parents'jobs are in the workplace．Their children's jobs are at school． The only difference is that parents get paid and children don't．Parents say that they make their kids do housework to teach them responsibility．But this is just a trick．Parents trick their kids into doing housework because they are lazy． Yours， Overloaded |
