My high school, like many others, was extremely competitive not only in sports but also in academic subjects. The pressure of trying to get excellent grades while joining in extra-curricular activities could be great. Sometimes it seemed like I lived at school! When I was at home my time was spent doing homework. Some days I was so busy finishing a project that I could hardly see my families.

I have a brother and a sister named Sally. She was nine years old. We used to see each other, but after I graduated from the primary school she attended, I saw her less and less.

Then one day I came home, an empty house and I found a note from my mom. She was at my brother’s baseball game.However my sister was at her

We found out that Jenny was hearing-impaired（有听觉缺陷的）when she was four and a half years old. Several operations and speech classes later, when she was seven, we found out that Jenny had Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis（风湿性关节炎）. She could not put pressure on the heels of her feet, so she walked on tiptoe.

All through grade school, and on into high school, Jenny suffered, yet never complained. She took her medicine, and I would often wrap her feet in towels and hold her until the pain eased. But, as soon as she could bear the pain, Jenny immediately carried on, as though she were free of pain.

（4） Peking opera, known as China a combination of music, dance regarded as a full expression Today, this art form is f extinction as the younger interested in pop culture.

A Peking opera project for schools was launched by Education. But it has met with the public. More than half of

from ten big cities expressed doubts about the practical meaning of the project in the survey conducted by the Social Survey Institute of China.

The project plans to add 15 Peking opera pieces into music courses in 200 schools in ten provinces. The pilot programs will last from March to July next year. At present, teaching materials and video tapes are still in production, China News Service reported. The Ministry of Education hopes that the promotional course can help students better appreciate Chinese culture and cultivate a love for the mother country.

The surveyed people do recognize Peking opera as a comprehensive (综合性的) art form and a representative of the traditional culture. They also understand the purpose of the educational project. However, they wonder whether it is necessary for every student to learn to sing Peking opera, when they are already stressed from endless exams. In fact, most music teachers themselves know little about this ancient art form, and thus are not confident in arousing（激起）students' interest in its slow pace and abstruse(深奥的) lyrics.

I was studying Arts and considering taking a year our to volunteer abroad and learn a foreign language.

I called the Eastern Volunteer Resource Center, an organization providing students with opportunities to volunteer abroad, and they asked to go for an interview. I told them why I wanted to volunteer, and they asked if I had ever worked with children with disabilities. I said no, a little nervously, as I hadn’t had a lot of experience with disabled children. The center then conducted an interview for me, and a Thursday volunteer.

I was required to take children with disabilities t activities: playing, using lunch, music time, etc. On fell in love with what I was but it was also unbelievably and other volunteers provid network and I never felt a enjoyed working with the ch them develop over the school y I stayed in Africa for a ye looked forward to the coming highlight of my week, becaus that I was doing something tru After completing my Arts deg for a degree in Speech Patho second year, and I love it.
