Tai Chi is a soft exercise from China. It uses slow movements, deep breathing, and peaceful thinking together. It helps join your mind and body. It comes from old Chinese traditions like fighting exercises （格斗术） and self-defense （自卫术）. In 2020, UNESCO put it on a special list of important world traditions.

This May Day, I volunteered at Shanghai’s famous Yuyuan Garden while others relaxed. It was my first time to volunteer abroad. My job was simple: giving directions （方向） to visitors.
I worked with a classmate and two kind Chinese aunts. They taught me important things. One aunt said, “Speak slowly. When giving directions, use your whole hand, not one finger （手指）.” I learned that pointing with one finger is not a good way in China.
At first, visitors didn’t ask me questions. Maybe they thought I couldn’t speak Chinese. So, I smiled and said in Chinese: “Welcome How can I help you ” People were surprised when I spoke Chinese well.
One family from Shaanxi drew my eyes. Their little son shouted “Waiguoren”. The father looked unsure, but an aunt encouraged him: “He’s our foreign volunteer friend. He speaks Chinese.”
The father then talked with me. We didn’t just talk about the garden, we shared our cultures. He asked why many Africans eat with hands, not chopsticks （筷子）. I explained some traditional foods like fufu are easier to eat by hand. He asked if I could use chopsticks. “Yes,” I said, “but it took years to learn!” We both laughed.
I asked about his hometown, Shaanxi. His face lit up brightly. He told me Shaanxi is important in Chinese history. It’s home to Xi’an, an ancient city with the Terracotta Army and special noodles called biangbiang. His son practiced English words with me excitedly.
That day showed me how a smile and openness build bridges between cultures. Volunteering taught me more about China than I expected. Every visitor shared different foods and traditions.
To students: Your lessons aren’t just in books. Step outside China offers wonderful experiences--you just need to ask and search. Real-life moments teach you things classrooms never can.

In Dongming, Shandong, students in a classroom are excited. Han Ruirui, a heritage inheritor （非遗传承人）, shows them how to stick seeds （粘贴种子） on wood. Soon, seeds like black beans and yellow corn make up Nezha —a hero from Chinese stories. This art is called Dongming Grain Painting （东明粮画）. It began over 1,700 years ago when farmers celebrated harvests （丰收）.
Making grain art takes time and care. Artists use more than 200 kinds of seeds. They clean them so they last long. Then they stick, press, and set seeds to show animals, flowers, or mountains. Han made special natural glue so the art won’t break. “It looks easy, but every seed needs work!” a student said. Each painting carries good wishes for full harvests and peaceful life.
Han once worked in big cities but came home in 2013. “This art belongs to the Yellow River land,” he says. To save the tradition, he made over 500 easy-to-make sets for schools and taught villagers—including people with special needs. Now his art goes to many countries, mixing old wisdom （智慧） with new ideas.
Grain painting is not just seeds—it’s history in pictures. It shows us how simple things from nature can become beautiful art. “Seeds in earth grow food, seeds on paper grow stories.” says Han Ruirui.

Robots are everywhere now. You see them making cars in factories, bringing food in restaurants, and even helping doctors in hospitals. 31
The truth is mixed. A study says that by 2025, machines may do over half of everyday tasks—like putting together products or reading papers. 32 And robot arms could pack things faster than people.
But don’t worry Experts think robots will also create new jobs. 33 while robots deal with boring tasks. Think about nurses: if a robot checks medical scans, the nurse has more time to talk with patients （病人）.
34 Schools now teach students skills robots can’t copy easily: solving surprise problems, designing （设计） art, or explaining difficult ideas. As MIT scientist Rodney Brooks said: “Robots help us work better, but they don’t replace human hearts.”
In your life, you might work together with robots. You could teach them, fix them, or use them to learn about oceans and space. 35
A. Future jobs will change, not go away. B. Some people ask: Will robots take jobs from humans C. For example, self-driving cars might need no drivers. D. Therefore, all factory workers will lose their jobs in the next ten years. E. Remember: technology is a tool--humans decide how it shapes our world. F. In fact, people will focus on creative work like art and teamwork.

My Screen-Free Weekend Experience
Last weekend, I took part in a school activity called “Screen-Free Weekend”. Let me tell you what I did without screens.
To be honest, I felt bored at first. So, I went to the library with my friend. We spent the whole morning reading our favorite books there. It was quite enjoyable. On Sunday, my parents and I visited my grandparents in the countryside. We ate a big lunch together. The most exciting thing was that I learned to make zongzi with my grandma’s help.
This experience taught me something valuable. I got a strong feeling of warmth and happiness when I was with my family and friends. I will use screens wisely and spend more time with my family and friends.
