During a school day, students might feel stressed out(有压力的)about classes and tests. Lunch is a good time to take a break from our studies.

11:20 to 12:05. Our cafeteria (自助餐厅) has excellent food and lots of choices. We have something different every day. Sometimes, we have Chinese dishes. On those days, typical dishes such as pot stickers(锅贴), orange chicken and rice are served(供应). Many of my friends think orange chicken is the best dish the cafeteria offers.

However, I think its best dish is enchilada(肉馅玉米卷饼), a traditional Mexican food. It is covered with hot sauce and tastes delicious. Pizza, hamburgers and French fries are also served every day. They give students many other choices. The cafeteria also offers some dessert, including ice cream, and frozen yogurt. As for drinks, there is a big fridge with water and all kinds of juice.

After getting my food, I try to find the table where my friends are sitting. We talk about what we’ve been doing in class and how our lives are going. After we finish eating, we stay at the table and keep talking. School is a stressful place, but we are lucky enough to have our lunch period to relax.

Recently, HUAWEI, one of China's best high-tech companies, has launched(发布) an app called StorySign, that will make it easier for deaf children to read stories.

Some AI skills from HUAWEI are used in the app. They help deaf children read by turning written text into sign language. A character called Star in the app makes it easier to use the app.

Users can also choose a book from the app's library that is then shown in sign language using cartoon characters. The first book on the StorySign platform(平台) is the popular children's book Spot the Dog.
