A Meaningful Gift

Time is very important in our lives. It organizes our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I received a beautiful watch from my father. The watch organized my life and made me more responsible.

I received this gift on a gray-sky day. On that day, I had to go to the airport at 9:00 a.m. to pick up my uncle Harry and take him to my father’s house. However, I was late because I was hanging out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 a.m., I remembered my uncle. But at that time he had left the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.

I got to my father’s house at 2:00 p.m. on the same day. Seeing my father’s angry face. I felt ashamed (惭愧的) of myself at that moment. After I said hi to my angry father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and he handed me this watch.

Then he said, “Lisa, did you have fun with your friends today?”

I answered, “Yes, father, and I’m sorry about not picking up Uncle Harry.”

He said, “What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions.”

I was ashamed and said, “Father, I’ll never do it again. I promise.”

He said, “I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a reminder for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life.

The watch taught me to respect time and never be late. That’s why it is important to me.

Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’ an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code. “We spent about an hour in class learning how to generate (使产生) the codes, and in the end everything gets easier.” Said Guo, “When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. Then, each student makes his QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work anywhere using my computer or telephone.”

The students can send the QR codes to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Goo scans (扫描) his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his home.ie finds that their homework becomes more creative (有创新性的) , with many pictures, music and even videos.

Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun. “Said Tingting, a student of Cuo’s. “The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share.” Guo said, “It is good to try to use something new in education (教育). Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”

However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating (交流) with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the codes when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check to students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.
