Now and then we may all get ill. Then we usually go to see a doctor. Doctors know a lot about what makes us ill. They may give us some medicine to take. The medicine often makes us well again.

But sometimes medicine can’t drive the pain or hurt away. A sick person does not get well after taking enough medicine. This ever happened to one man. He was not getting well even if he had been in hospital for nearly a month. Then he found a new “doctor” inside himself. This “doctor” was his own sense of humor. He saw laughable films and read funny comic books. Something wonderful happened! Laughing took away his pain. Then he was able to sleep and rest well. He said laughing was his best “medicine”. His doctor thought so.

Here is another sick man. He had a terrible pain in his back. The doctors tried every effort to stop it from hurting, but failed. Then the man began to draw pictures in his mind. He “drew” a picture of a dog. He imagined it as a real dog that was biting (咬) his back and made him feel a lot of pain. Then the man talked softly to the dog and touched its head gently. He soon made friends with the dog and the dog didn’t bite him any more. To everyone’s surprise, his pain went away!

These stories may surprise you. But more and more people are getting well in this way. So call on the “doctor” inside your own heads. Stay happy and well!

“Children need more geography field trips. Schools should organize geography field trips to stop pupils from sitting before computer screens for a long time. And children should be encouraged to see the natural world and study geography,” says Michael Palin.

The famous actor and writer, Michael Palin, made the comments days after a study showed that pupils in the UK were less likely to take part in science field trips than in most other developed countries.

The study found that 13% of schools in the UK failed to take children out of the classroom regularly.

Mr. Palin said that field trips were an important part of geography and that he was interested in geography because he had a good geography teacher and he had many opportunities to “get out of the school building”.

In an interview, Mr. Palin said, “It was important for children to see things for themselves and learn about the rest of the world. You have to show them a mountain, show them a factory, show them a power station.”

Mr. Palin had been to the North and South Poles, the Himalayas(喜马拉雅山脉), the Sahara and Eastern Europe.

“Geography is about the study of the earth. It is a wide-ranging subject,” he said. “It’s related to everything we do: what we eat, what transport we take to work, where we live, what houses are made of, and so on.”

He said children needed to get basic geography knowledge first and that once they had the basic knowledge they could move on to deeper problems, such as population and pollution. “Today’s children will need to deal with a lot of problems when they grow up. They have to learn geography today,” he said.

Dear Jenny,

How’s it going? Are you busy with your study these days?

I’ve been back at school nearly four weeks. I’m very glad to tell you that great have taken place in our school this term. First of all, we’re asked to “clear our plates” when having our meals and say to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we the classroom. And our school has opened up some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class is given a small garden and our class has decided to grow some tomatoes and beans( 豆类) in our time. I think that’ll be very interesting. Maybe I’ll be able to you some beans we’ve grown by ourselves next time! What’s more, we have only two classes in the afternoon we have more time for after-school activities. I’m one of the traffic safety volunteers in our school. After school, we take turns to go to the streets near our school and ask people to the traffic rules.

I think we are having a different school life now!

Please write back soon and tell more about your school.

Yours,

Wang Wei
