When you were very young, you liked to play with your friends. Did you find that playtime was always more fun when everyone shared the toys? Everyone got a turn. No one was left out.

That’s a life lesson that changes as you get older. As you grow up, you begin to understand that others have less than you do － in China and in the world. And that those of us who “have” things should help those who “ have less” than we do. The idea of sharing makes a great difference.

At your age, you can “share” with people in need in three ways.

1. You can give them a part of your money. Many adults do that regularly.

2. You can share items you no longer use, such as clothing and toys. You can pass them onto others who cannot buy them.

3. You can help people by giving your time and your energy.

The last one is also called volunteering. Volunteering is about giving your time to take part in activities that will help others. Every year, many thousands of volunteers in the world give the most valuable gift of all. They give their time. They give their talent. They give of themselves. And they are enjoying it. Volunteering isn’t just about work. It’s about fun too.

Do you like chicken? We all know that a chicken is a cock or hen. But do you know other meanings of the word?

If we want to encourage someone who is timid, we can say, “ Be brave! Don’t be a chicken.” If someone is no longer young, we usually say, “You are no spring chicken” If a person chickens out of doing something, it must be because he or she is afraid..

Bob is one of my friends. He worked as a cleaner before. His salary was chicken feed compared to what the others could earn. And he didn’t plan for anything; he was running like a headless chicken all the time. Many people often laughed at him for his job and salary, but he always said, “Don’t count your chickens. I will be rich and successful one day! ”

Ten years later, he set up his own cleaning company and had about 100 cleaners in his company. No one laughs at him now. He is finally successful.
