What makes a camp great?
Did you take part in a camp this summer? There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same. To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research.
Maybe you’ve never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals-opportunity, challenge and growth.
Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special. It also makes you special because other kids don’t have the same opportunity. For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism camp. You may have the opportunity of meeting famous news reporters there.
Challenge means you are given a task. You must finish the task and succeed in overcoming the challenge. Then you will have a sense of accomplishment. For example, you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate (证书) to become a real lifeguard.
This also leads to the third and most important goal of every great summer camp personal growth. It doesn’t mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didn’t know or believe you could do before. It also means becoming more confident in yourself.
So in the future when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: Is it a special opportunity? Is it a challenge? Will I grow?
But what about friendship,fun and joy? These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at summer camps! Have fun, make friends and learn cool new skills at a summer camp.
There are many different types of summer camps in the US. Some camps focus on (注重) playing games and having fun. Other camps focus on developing a certain skill or ability. In general, if you can think of a camp, then it probably exists. You just have to find it.

Are you the only child in your family? Have you heard of “the two-child policy (政策)”? Everyone knows the one-child policy. It was a population control method in our country. Chinese government wanted to control the increasing population at that time. Many Chinese couples understood that and followed this policy for nearly 40 years.
However, as time goes by, some problems appear in our society. At present, these problems are mainly about:
●The number of workers changed from about 960 million in 2010 to 940 million in 2012. The number changed to 930 million in 2014 and will possibly fall by 29 million by 2020.
●China is now getting into an aging society. There will be more old people in the following years. But the society will be short of doctors and nurses to take care of them.
●The population of China will become smaller and smaller if one-child policy goes on. It's the main reason that leads to the two problems above.
That’s why Chinese government began the two-child policy on January 1st, 2016. It allows each family to have two children. The government hopes it can help solve those social problems gradually (逐渐地). This policy will help offer enough workers in the future. It is reported that there will be around 2.5 million newly-born babies each year.
