| My little brother is six years old, in first grade. Yesterday, he gave mum a letter from his teacher. "I got a red flag today. Could you please sign this note?" he said. The note showed that he had been talking during reading time. He gets a "red flag" only once in a while. His real worry is that he never gets top scores in his schoolwork. The best he gets is "OK", but often his score is "You can do better than this." My mum tells me "You can do better than this" would mean "Very bad" in China. It"s interesting, though, because teachers for little kids in America never say anything too bad about their students; even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is "Please be nicer tomorrow." Many parents are pleased with a B-grade for each subject. I"ve heard that things are different in Chinese schools. Expectations (期望) are very high for students. Even from first grade, homework was quite a lot for my relatives in Nanjing. I sometimes felt that my first-grade Chinese cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the US ( this is the same as the 6th grade in China )! Yet his parents and school thought he was a bad student. But to me, he was smart, even though he didn"t meet his parents" expectations. My parents tell me that some students are years earlier in math and science! Do you think it"s too strict in China? Or do you think that it"s not strict enough in America? Maybe both are true! | |||

| I need friends who can share my emotions (情感). When I get very happy or excited, I need someone to share with me. When I was full of sorrow or sadness, I need to talk about it with someone. I need friends who can give me a hand when I come across difficulties or am in trouble. Of course, we take time to make friends. We choose a friend and are chosen by a friend. We may get a lot from a friend but also need to give much to a friend, and that is friendship. We know that it is very difficult to get help or to have a friend when we are in trouble. So we take time to make friends so that we can have good friends to get help from if we come across difficulties. I need friends to spend my spare time to avoid loneliness. A lot of activities require a partner. For example, when we play table tennis or badminton, we need a partner. In this way, a friend can make my life more exciting and meaningful. It seems that everyone needs a friend to live a happier life. Without friendship, life is not complete. We need friendship for different purposes, and different purposes may need different friends. Life is made up of friendship. Let us open our hearts and make more friends to live a happier life. | |||

| April Fools" Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in hopes of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool.
