Half a year before graduation from college, my son began to seek a job. Due to the financial crisis, fewer companies would like to employ new staff. My son targeted a company that was going to hire only one person while there were more than twenty people filling their resumes.
After the interview, there would only be 3 who could enter the final round, which would later decide one person to be employed. Everything seemed to go quite well and my son passed the first round and entered the final round in a week.
On the day of the final interview, my son and other two candidates arrived at the interview place on time, waiting for the test. Unexpectedly, the interview was unbelievably simple. The interviewer only said to them, all of you are very super. Please go home and wait for our notice. We will tell you the result in 3 days. Good luck to all of you!" On the morning of the third day, my son received a text from the company shortly after breakfast that he was not employed. We all felt very disappointed.
In nightfall that day, my son suddenly told me excitedly on the phone, "Da, I have been employed!" Greatly surprised, I could not wait to ask him, "What's the whole matter?" My son told me that he received another text saying that he was employed. Actually, the first text sent to my son was also part of the test in the interview. Three men received the same text this morning and only my son’s reply was "Thank you." While the others said "Goodbye.".
Only then did I know that my son's "hope" came in that way. That is, when you feel disappointed, do not forget to say "Thank you." to the one who disappoints you. Saying Thank you." shows respect for others work and shows you are generous. Therefore, while under the same condition, you will get the upper hand in terms of opportunities compared with others!

Schools are now running remote (远程) lessons for more than 90 per cent of NSW students because of COVID-19 (冠状病毒) crisis, a situation likely to l1. for months. The NSW Department of Education says the lessons are designed to be done without parents' too much caring.
But parents are still under the pressure of trying to support their students' learning, saying they have been given an i2. task.
One parent said she spent the week working at her job, then the weekend catching up on all the work her children had missed, doing housework at night. Another single mother wakes at 3 a.m. to do her paid work so she can supervise (监督) her children d3. the day.
"Do they understand that parents are fighting for our lives, our jobs, and our companies as well?" another parent said. "I' m a working mum. If I don't do my job, I may l4. it. I know things had to be done in a hurry. But parents have been thrown in the deep end.
Yvette McDonald, from the inner west, has two young children at a public primary school, which issues (发布) written lessons and requires typed, o5. communication, such as being present for roll call (点名) at the b6. and the end of each day. She has asked the NSW Department of Education to relax those rules, saying they were difficult to carry out.
"Parents are already at breaking point and we haven't even gone into formal lockdown, "she said. "Many of us are managing crisis at work, but then on top of that we're schooling our children as well. We feel as though we're failing, but we're not failing-we've been a7. to do very difficult things. We want to know what's essential and what's not."
