Months ago, I was given a special chance to show my calligraphy(书法).
I felt very nervous as I went into the hall where I was going to write calligraphy in front of my 31 . Because I knew that some of them might write1 than me a lot! I came to the seat for me2 quickly sat down. Then I pulled out my brush and ink(墨水). I could notice my right hand was shaking. At the same time, I3 my classmates' excited voices and good wishes clearly. In just a moment, I had the courage4 writing.
I began5 work. I wrote every Chinese character carefully6 my best wishes and my love for Chinese calligraphy and art.7 they were not perfect, I felt satisfied After finishing my part, I walked around to admire the real art. I saw our 80-year-old ex-headmaster who8 calligraphy in our school at that moment. Seeing the brush in his hand travel over the paper, I was once again surprised by the beauty of calligraphy.
Calligraphy is much more than just9 writing style. It is a wonderful art. We hope that more people will join us in passing it down.
The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. "I know how hard you have worked to1 this test," he said. "And because I know you can do it well, I am willing to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test.
Many students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the remaining students and said, "Does anybody else want to get a B? This is your last2 ." Two more students decided to go.
Seven students3 . The teacher then handed out the papers to them. There were only three sentences typed on the paper: Congratulations! You have just been4 an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.
I5 had a teacher like that but I think it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have 46 in what they have learned are B students at best(充其量).
The same is true in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have6 both successes and failures. They have learned life's lessons, either from normal education or from events in their lives, and have become7 people.
We should realize that we ourselves do have some limits(限制). However, we should also know that doesn't mean we can't do anything or8 to be anyone. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to9 the summit of Mount Everest said, "It's not the mountain we conquer(征服) but ourselves."

Time management has a lot of tips and tricks(技巧). And measuring(测量) time by a clock or a watch can help fix a lot of stress in the long run. A clock plays an important role in time management. It can greatly help us achieve our purposes. It also helps us say no to people wanting to waste our time. We can use it in many parts of our life. A clock can become our best friend in our life when we use it to get what we really want. The following ways can help us get started.
Realize the power of 30 seconds. For example, if your house is in a mess, think about this. Failing to hang up a coat and keep a desk or room tidy happens when we leave out the quick housework. We can play a game to see if we can build a clean and comfortable environment in 30 seconds.
If possible, exercise at a specific time. We can ride a bike, run slowly or take a quick walk for 15 minutes twice a day. Besides, we can try a running or swimming race with our family within 15 minutes. The 15 minutes seems short. However, it makes our bodies stronger if we keep on it.
Go to bed and get up on time. This good habit keeps you full of energy. Going to bed at 10:30 p.m. and getting up at 6:30a.m. is a great choice. It will make you active and is good for your study and work.
Every goal(目标) in life will likely be fully realized by pairing it up with the clock. Therefore, we should learn to manage our time and make the best use of every minute.

Along with the new Curriculum Standard, aesthetic(艺术的) education is on its way.
In the past, the high school entrance exams for Chinese Grade 9 students were mainly about academic(学术的) subjects, such as math and Chinese. But starting from 2022, they are tested in areas like music and art.
"Besides teaching students how to paint, sing or dance, aesthetic education is mainly for developing students' ability to appreciate artistic beauty, which is very important for students' mental health," Fan Di'an, president of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, told China Daily.
However, many students and their parents are worried. They think that it will bring heavier pressure. It was also pointed out that not every student would be talented enough to be good at these subjects. "It's really hard for tone-deaf(音盲的) people like me to sing well. So if music is included in the high school entrance exam, I will need to do more practice before music tests." Zhao Hanfang, a 15-year old boy student from Yunnan, told newspapers.
It's said that the test points would only come from the students' textbooks, so it wouldn't be difficult and shouldn't put too much pressure on students, China Business Herald noted.
