JOIN US AT SPORTS HALL!

    Our house was across the street from a big hospital, so we rented our empty upstairs rooms to outpatients. One evening, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly sick-looking man.

    His face looked terrible-it was swollen and red. Yet his voice was pleasant. He told me that he came for treatment and that he'd been hunting for a spare room since noon, but no one would give him one because of his face. For a moment I hesitated, but he said he would be happy to just sleep in our hallway. I agreed.

    The old man had a strong heart inside his tiny body. He told me that he fished for a living to support his daughter, her five children, and her disabled husband.

    He didn't complain while telling me his story. He was grateful that he didn't feel any pain from his disease which was seemingly a form of skin cancer.

    The next morning, he said, "Can I come back and stay the next time I need treatment? "I told him he was welcome to come again.

    On his next trip, as a gift, he brought a big fish and some large oysters. In the year that he stayed with us, there was never a time that he did not bring us gifts like these.

My neighbor warned me that I could lose potential renters by putting up the old man after he left the first morning. Maybe we did lose renters once or twice. But if only they could have known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to stand. I know our family will always be thankful to have known him. From him we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with thanks.

    On January 27, 2020, in order to win the war against Novel coronavirus pneumonia(新冠肺炎), the Ministry of Education issued a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.

    However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start time of school may influence children's studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children won't learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously influence their physical and mental health.

    In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits ，so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice to organize online teaching and create a network platform, where necessary courses will be shown every day. Online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of every subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile phone.

    It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and avoid the infection of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve "no suspension of classes". Both the platform and the recorded lessons are useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.

Of course, except learning at home，it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from virus. At the same time, it is very important for children to do some physical exercises.
