Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money in order to pay for my schooling.

One day, my mother was repairing a quilt. I silently sat beside her and looked at her. “Mom, is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and looked at me in surprise. Then, she said, “Susan, look at this thread(线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time, it hides in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there.”

I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other. But after two months my father still couldn’t walk by himself. I was so worried about him. “Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan, don’t worry about me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.

Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

It’s Friday evening. My daughters, 3 and 9, sigh (叹息) when I gently take the iPads away from their laps. 1. We light the candles and sit down to have a big meal.

Most people in our lives know they will not be able to connect with my family by using computer or mobile phones for 24 hours. 2. We call it our “Technology Shabbat (科技安息日)” which lasts from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.

I first understood the importance of disconnecting in 2008, when my father was told that he had got brain cancer(癌). Some days he would have only one good hour, and I wasn’t willing to be disturbed when I was with him, so I’d turn off my mobile phone.

Soon after, encouraged by National Day of Unplugging (全国断网断电日) on March 1st, my husband and I decided to unplug for one full day every week.

3. Our Saturdays now feel like mini-vacations. We drive our car or ride our bike. We with our kids, work in the garden, play board games and cook meals. I feel more balanced. I feel like a better mother, wife and person.

Keeping a balance between the good and the bad of technology is my lasting state.4. and take in carious ideas all over the world. But the technology also take something away from us. When we stay up late at night linking (连接) from website to website or sending messages or 3-mailing, we click again, and again, and again until we’ve overloaded (超负荷的).

You can study the English language for years but still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Native speakers say a lot of things, but you can’t find them in any dictionary. Well, don’t worry. Here’s a secret for you: a lot of British people can’t understand each other either!

There are different local accents (口音) across the UK, and a number of areas have several different accents, that is, they have their own vocabulary and phrases. There were at least six different accents born to London the last time I counted.

Worse than that, it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. For example, a language and its accents often change across class or level of education. Another example is how language can differ among age groups in the UK. The words and pronunciation used by young people in the UK can be completely different compared with those used by adults. They are creating a “yoof culture”.

The word “yoof” is a slang (俚语) spelling of “youth”. Some people don’t consider “yoof” to be a positive term since its pronunciation is easier and lazier than “youth”. Other people see the term as positive, because it describes how young people are creating their own language, concept and identity.

When parents find it difficult to understand their children, the children can say more things without the examining of their parents. In this way, young people are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression. Even though certain groups of society feel threatened (威胁) by “yoof culture”, new words come and go like fashions.

So learners should have no fear about communicating with native speakers. Even British people don’t speak English properly! The UK no longer owns the English language.
