Do you have the following experiences?
★When you talk through a park, a noise from the background is becoming louder and clearer. Then you can find that a group of women who are gathering at the side of path. In the cold breeze(微风) of winter, they’ re moving their arms and legs to rhythm(节奏).
★You want to sleep late into noon on weekend mornings, but find it impossible because the seniors(年长者) have been dancing since the early hours, make a lot of noise.
★Sometimes, you want to have a rest or take a walk with friends in a quiet park, only to be interrupted (被阻止/打断的) by music associated(联系/联盟/陪伴) with a group dancing. It is really an annoying problem.
This kind of dancing is called Square Dancing. It seems that if you go around China, you can see these dancing everywhere in the public space. Also in foreign countries, Chinese Square Dancing is very famous. On January 14, 2015, Chinese seniors danced on the square out of the stadium(体育馆) where a soccer game between China and Uzbekistan(乌兹别克斯坦) was being held during the Asian Cup in Brisbane(布里斯班).
But in Britain dancing in public is not a cultural habit. You won’ t see any age group swinging their arms and tapping their feet in a park. Usually, they just take a walk for exercise.
Most people think that Square Dancing should be stopped. It disturbs people and makes people feel annoyed. But do you know why these women choose Square Dancing?
For seniors in China, to dance together is a way to keep healthy and be social. With most of them old-aged, they have lots of free time to do whatever they like. There is no more work and their kids have left. They will feel lonely and bored after retiring(退休). So the people who want to keep healthy and stay away from loneliness dance together. I like seeing these women enjoy themselves. They remind us of the importance of exercise as we get older. Besides, most of them have raised whole families. Now it is their time to have fun and enjoy some peace.

Title: Inner voice helps a lot throughout our lives.
When you couldn’t open your mouth till the first two years on the earth, inner voice helps you understand things. Inner voice always shows thoughts and ideas in the body.
It justifies （判断） what is right and what is wrong. When we go against inner voice, we usually feel uncomfortable throughout our lives.
Sometimes when we are feeling sad, we seem to need some kind of support in spirit. We usually speak to our closest friend or our dearest family member during times of unhappiness to feel better. After talking to them, we suddenly feel active again, because our inner voice reminds us to get on with things and leave the things of the past in the memory.
Inner voice is always right most of the time, because it knows us better than others and even ourselves. It’ s good to go by inner voice most of the time. Whenever you are trying to smoke, or whenever you are asked to choose one side in an argument, you are always worried about the result. During these times, your inner voice tells you what to do. If you don’t follow your inner voice, you might be unhappy in the future. It’ s our own choice to either pay no attention to our inner voice or follow it and search for real happiness.
