Do you know anyone who lives in another country
Yes, I have a close friend who currently lives in the United Kingdom, and a cousin who moved to Australia for work last year.
What is the time difference between their home and your home
The UK is typically 8 hours behind my home time (if based in China), while Australia is usually 2 hours ahead (for Eastern Standard Time). The exact difference can vary during daylight saving time changes.
What Is a “Problem” in a Story
A problem is something that causes trouble or difficulty for a character.
It is what the character tries to solve or overcome.
Example: Mike wakes up late and misses the school bus.
What Is a “Solution” in a Story
The solution is how the character fixes the problem.
It shows the action or change that solves the trouble.
Example: Mike starts going to bed early and wakes up on time.
Why Is This Important
Helps you understand the plot of a story
Makes reading more engaging
Teaches how characters grow and learn
How to Find Problem and Solution
Ask: What is wrong → Problem
Ask: How is it fixed → Solution
Look for words like trouble, issue, fix, solve, decided to, so, then
Summary
Problem = Trouble in the story
Solution = How it is fixed
Finding both helps you understand the story better.
Chris was new in town and he had no friends.
He helped Patrick find his baseball, they played catch and rode their bikes together and they become good friends.
I gave him lots of water to drink. I also put a cold washcloth on his forehead.

The flat part of the face, located above the eyes and below the hair.

tissues
At home, I often help my parents with daily chores—like washing dishes after meals, tidying up the living room, and taking out the trash. If they feel tired after work, I might also make them a cup of tea or prepare a simple snack to let them relax a bit. Sometimes, when one of them isn’t feeling well, I’ll look after them by getting them water or helping with small tasks they need done.
How do you help your parents when you are at home
Helping parents is important for a few key reasons. First, they work hard to take care of the family, so sharing chores eases their daily burden. Second, it teaches me to be responsible and grateful for all the efforts they put into looking after me. Additionally, it strengthens our family bond—working together on small things makes our relationship warmer and more connected.
Why is it important to help your parents
When I’m sick, my parents take careful care of me right away. They’ll check my temperature regularly, take me to see a doctor if my symptoms are serious, and remind me to take medicine on time. They also cook light, warm food (like porridge) that’s gentle on my stomach, and stay by my side to ask how I feel—sometimes they even read me a story to help me rest more comfortably until I start feeling better.
What do your parents do when you are sick
Doctor Molly
Molly's mother was worried. As she packed for her business trip to Japan, Molly stood beside her with a notebook and a pencil.
"Do you have your passport, Mom " she asked. "I do."
"Good," said Molly. "Your destination is Tokyo, so you should be at the airport two hours early. Remember, passengers can only check two bags. "
Molly, thanks for trying to help, but I'm worried about your father," replied her mother. "He isn't feeling well, and I have to go on this trip. Please take good care of him while I'm gone.' "I'll be a good doctor and look after him, Mom. Just like you look after me," Molly said.
"Thank you," said her mother.
Soon, Molly's mother left for the airport.
The next morning. Molly's father came to the breakfast table. He didn't look well. "How do you feel, Dad " Molly asked. "I have a bad earache. I think I'm sick her father answered.
"Then you should take some medicine and go back to bed," said Molly. "I'm going to take care of you all day."
"I don't think so, Molly. I've got things to do," replied her father.
"Dad!" said Molly. "Mom put me in charge. I'm the doctor."
Molly added some numbers in her notebook. It was 1:00 in the morning in Tokyo! Her mom was asleep. Molly sent a text message to her mother.
At 5: 00 in the afternoon, the phone rang. Molly picked it "Hello. This is Doctor Molly speaking."
"Molly, it's Mom. How's your dad ' "He's just fine, Mom. His fever is gone, his headache is gone, his earache is gone, and his sneezing is almost gone. He's watching TV and drinking orange juice.'
"Dad!" said Molly. "Mom put me in charge. I'm the doctor."
The next morning. Molly's father came to the breakfast table. He didn't look well. "How do you feel, Dad " Molly asked. "I have a bad earache. I think I'm sick her father answered.
"Then you should take some medicine and go back to bed," said Molly. "I'm going to take care of you all day."
"I don't think so, Molly. I've got things to do," replied her father.
"Dad!" said Molly. "Mom put me in charge. I'm the doctor."
Yes, I would definitely help my father or mother the way Molly did in the story. My parents always take good care of me—for example, when I’m sick, they check my temperature, prepare medicine, and make gentle, comforting food for me. So when they feel unwell or are occupied, I’d take responsibility just like Molly: I’d remind them to rest and take medicine on time, help with small daily tasks, and keep them reassured (like updating them if they’re away) to ease their worries, just as they do for me. This is a warm way to show my gratitude and care for them.
