Some schools in Zhejiang are encouraging students to learn more about their own family instructions. At Hangzhou Gongyi Middle School and Hangzhou Xuejun High School, it was part of students’ winter vacation homework to learn about their family instructions.

Meng Yaohan, 16, from Hangzhou Xuejun High School, looked at her family instructions. One of them is “don’t take the wrong way”, a piece of advice that has been passed down for 100 years. Her father told her how her grandfather stuck to his “right way” - to become an engineer. “It inspired me to pursue (追求) what I love,” she said.

Shen Duanjie, 14, from Hangzhou Gongyi Middle School, has benefited from his family instruction – “democratic” (民主的) and “equal” (平等的). In his own words, it has helped him get along with his parents.

The school has also published books about two classic collections of family instructions – The Family Instructions of Zhu Xi (《朱子家訓(xùn)》) and Family Instructions of Yan Clan (《顏氏家訓(xùn)》). The books include dialogues and pictures drawn by students.

Gong Zhenyue, 14, drew pictures for one of the instructions in Family Instructions of Yan Clan.

The game’s popularity may have something to do with how lonely people are these days, according to the Xinhua News Agency. Many players have said that the lonely frog is just like them. But playing with the frog helps them forget their loneliness for a short time.

Loneliness seems to be a common problem today. According to the Guardian, about 40 percent of American adults say they’re lonely. And in the UK, about one in five people in the country are “always or often lonely”, The Telegraph reported.

This might be why the UK government declared (宣布) the country’s very first “Minister of Loneliness” (孤獨大臣) in January. The minister’s job is to find ways to help UK citizens feel less lonely. The minister’s office will provide more money for activities that connect people together.

This loneliness problem may be partly due to social media. When we see pictures of friends having fun or posting selfies (自拍) without us, we may compare their “perfect” lives with our own and feel inferior (較差的) and lonely.

But we should remember that no one is destined (注定) to be lonely. As UK poet John Donne once wrote, “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent (陸地), a part of the main.”

Tips to get rid of loneliness

Sing your favorite songs.

Connect with a friend.

Do something creative, such as drawing a picture.

Imagine some place you’d like to visit, like a fun gathering or a sporting event.

【1】What do players do while playing Travel Frog?

A. Build houses for their frogs.

B. Prepare food and tools for their frogs’ trips.

C. Choose places for their frogs to travel.

D. Write postcards to their frogs.

【2】To deal with loneliness, the UK government _____.

A. designed the game Travel Frog

B. created the “Minister of Loneliness”

C. holds parties for people to get together

D. stopped people’s use of social media

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Everyone is connected with others.

B. We should not compare ourselves to others.

C. It’s not fun to feel lonely.

D. No one should live alone.

◆Use paper that has lines

Using paper that has lines can keep you writing straight when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure those capital letters(大寫字母) are written properly.

◆Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going slower makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.

◆ Hold your pencil right

When you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. Some kids press(按,壓) down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to relax yourself and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.

◆Draw more pictures

Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.

Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs (親筆簽名), of course！
