Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and lots of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.

In fact, happiness is always around you ,When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations(祝贺) to you; when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor,you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

My little brother is six years old, in first grade. Yesterday, he gave mum a letter from his teacher. "I got a red card today. Could you please sign(签名) this note(便笺)?" he said to Mom. The note showed that he slept during reading time. He gets a "red card" only once in a while. His real worry is that he doesn’t get top scores(分数) in his school work. His best score is "OK". He often gets "You can do better than this". My mom tells me "You can do better than this" means "Very bad" in China.

In America, teachers are very nice to their students. They never say anything too bad about them even if(即使) 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 learned that things are different in Chinese schools. Expectations (期待)are very high for students. Even from first grade, they have a lot of homework. My first-grade Chinese cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was in Grade 6 in US. Yet his parents and school thought he was a bad student. But to me, he was good, even though he didn’t meet his parents" expectations. My parents tell me that some students are years before American students in math and science. And Chinese students are the most hard-working in the world. Do you think it’s too strict? Or do you think that it’s not strict enough in America? Maybe both are true!
