     My little brother is six years old, in first grade. Yesterday, he gave mum a letter from his teacher. "I got a
red flag today. Could you please sign this note?" he said. The note showed that he had been talking during
reading time. He gets a "red flag" only once in a while. His real worry is that he never gets top scores in his
schoolwork. The best he gets is "OK", but often his score is "You can do better than this." My mum tells me
"You can do better than this" would mean "Very bad" in China.
      It's interesting, though, because teachers for little kids in America never say anything too bad about their
students; even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might
say is "Please be nicer tomorrow." Many parents are pleased with a B-grade for each subject.
      I've heard that things are different in Chinese schools. Expectations (期望) are very high for students.
Even from first grade, homework was quite a lot for my relatives in Nanjing. I sometimes felt that my
first-grade Chinese cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the US ( this
is the same as the 6th grade in China )! Yet his parents and school thought he was a bad student. But to me,
he was smart, even though he didn't meet his parents' expectations. My parents tell me that some students are
years earlier in math and science!
     Do you think it's too strict in China? Or do you think that it's not strict enough in America? Maybe both
are true!

     My name is Nicky. I've been a travel writer for twenty years now. It's a really interesting life. I was
only twenty-one when I started traveling. The first country I went to was Mexico. At first, I studied
Spanish for six months in Mexico City. Then I traveled to other parts of Mexico, and all over South
America. My favorite country was Peru. It has everything-great beaches, tall mountains, and forests
with lots of strange and wonderful animals. Brazil is the only South American country I've never visited,
but I'm a great fan of their football team! I hope to watch a football match in Brazil one day.
    What other countries have I been to? Well, I've been to most parts of Asia. I spent three years in
China, and I lived in India for five years. However, I've never been to Japan. My friends tell me it's
really expensive there. I like to spend my time in cheaper countries. At the moment, I'm living in Vietnam.
It's a beautiful country, and the people are very friendly. I've been living here for two years now, and I
love it!

      My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would
guess at what I thought was the correct answer.
      When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears,
Mommy." She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again
soon."
      Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the
correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our
eyes." She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are
many people who are blind."
     Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No, but you are
getting smarter every year, my child."
     Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me
when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important
body part yet, my dear? " I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game
between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It
shows that you have really lived your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most
 important body part is your shoulder." I asked, "Is it because it holds up your head?" She replied, "No, it is
because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry.
      Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love
and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it." Then and there I knew the most
important body part is not a selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.

     My vision (视力) is getting worse. I can't even see what is five feet away from me without glasses.
我拒绝戴眼镜, though I know I need to. I'm afraid they will make me look ugly. Besides, I can do well
without them. These were my thoughts two years ago, when I was in the sixth grade. An embarrassing
experience taught me that what I was thinking was wrong.
    ②School has been out for two months. I was going to junior high school soon, where I was sure that
looks are everything. So the question still remained there. Should I, Or should I not, wear glasses? The
question was still in my mind when my family and I attended a wedding (婚礼) late in the summer.
    During the wedding, I drank too much juice. Soon after it ended, I walked quickly to the bathroom. Since
it was an emergency (紧急) and I couldn't clearly see which door was ③marked boys. I just opened the
nearest door and entered the restroom.
     Unluckily, I had entered the wrong restroom. But I didn't know this until I heard a scream (尖叫声) coming
from the entrance when I was washing my hands.
     After that, I decided to wear the ugly-looking glasses. I didn't really ④care about what people thought of
me any more, because I never wanted to enter the wrong bathroom again.
     On the first day of seventh grade, ⑤my friends didn't make fun of me. Instead they gave me compliments.
They thought the glasses made me look more cute and more natural.
     So if you know something is right, just do it. ⑥It doesn't matter what others think of you. All that matters
is what you think of yourself-and that you can see where you are going!
