My tears (眼泪) run down from my cheeks (面颊) when I talk to my parents on the phone. What are they doing when I call them? Dad works from seven o’clock in the morning to nine o’clock in the evening. My mum does all the housework, and she also has to work in the vineyard (葡萄). But I can’t do anything for them.

Every day she gets up around 4 o’clock in the morning. When I sometimes call her at 7:30 in the evening, she tells me that she is still in the vineyard and doesn’t have supper. I tell her I’ll study hard in the university. I also ask her to take care of herself and dad because I cannot live without them.

Mum says that the happiest time for dad and her is when my sister and I come back home. We play cards in the room, watch TV, or do anything we like, with dad and mum making delicious food in the kitchen. It is also the happiest time for me.

Love, sometimes, doesn’t need many words. Love your parents like they love you. Give them a call, and tell them you miss them.

Jessie felt her life so boring one summer day. She was tired of watching TV, she read all her books, and her friends were on vacation. She wanted something different to do. Suddenly, she saw the lawn mower(割草机) sitting in the yard.

“Mom,” she shouted, “I think I will mow the lawn.” Her mom ran into the yard and said, “Oh no, you don’t. You’re too young to mow the law.”

“I’m fourteen years old and know how to do it,” Jessie said. “Besides, it would help Dad out, and he won’t have to worry about it over the weekend.”

Mom thought for a while and then decided to let Jessie give it a try. After all, she was home and would keep an eye on her. Jessie already knew how to start the lawn mower from watching her dad. Jessie checked the gas(汽油) to make sure it was full, and put on her gardening gloves to protect her hands. Mom watched from the kitchen window. Jessie really does know how to mow the lawn. She was very careful around the flowers and trees. When she finished, she felt so good, but she was so hot. Mom brought her some ice tea and said, “You sure did a great job. Dad will be very surprised.”

Later that day, Dad came home and said to Jessie’s mom, “You didn’t have to mow the lawn. I was going to do it on Saturday. It looks great. Thanks.”

“I didn’t mow it. Jessie did.”

“Wow, our little girl is growing up!” Dad told Jessie what a great job she had done.

“It was fun, and I will do it again next week,” said Jessie.

The neighbor next door came by and asked Jessie if she wanted to mow his lawn and make some money. “Sure!” said Jessie. Jessie began mowing his lawn. Two other neighbors asked so, then another three. Jessie was now mowing lawns for them all and making some money. She was no longer bored! “I won’t have time to spend my money,” she laughed to herself.

In today’s society, every day may face some kinds of stress (压力) and difficulties from work, school or family. They can influence both our bodies and our minds (头脑). So learning how to deal with (对付) stress is very important for keeping healthy. Well, how do we reduce stress? In my opinion, the best ways are exercise and contacting with nature (亲近自然).

For example, we don’t have to go to a gym or spend much money on exercise. In fact, walking or riding to work is OK for exercise. The second way of dealing with stress is to make contact with nature. You can take many ways, including walking in the forests, hiking in the mountains or walking in the garden. Nature is very great and if you can make contact with her, you can enjoy the smell and the sight of green plants and then let you feel delighted.

Some of these activities can let you get exercise, but also you can enjoy the beauty of your garden every day. So, take my advice and start now if you meet some kinds of stress in your work or study. Good luck!
