Recently, the Ministry of Education has issued a requirement which students should be given labor education while at the school, which arouses a heated debate.
As for students, opinion are divided. Some students think that it will be great benefit for their health, enabled them to be well developed. On the other hand, some students hold the view that this kind of education will take up our time, which will be spent studying otherwise. But it will have a negative effect on their grades.
It was true that students are given little chance of laboring nowadays, thus lacking the sense of labor. So as far as I am concerned, students definite should receive labor education so that they will value more that labor brings about.

She showed me a list of tunes, and I a family favorite. “Thank you, Jacquelyn,” Sister said, “Next, please.”
After a while, when the other children studied music, Sister looked kindly at me. “Jacquelyn, have you heard the expression tone-deaf? It means you think you are singing is from the music.” Sister patted my hand. “ , it’s nothing to be ashamed of, dear. You can take part in it. You may mouth the words, but no . Do you understand what I’m saying?”
All right. But I was so . After school I took the bus straight to Aunt Dolly’s house for help. “What will I do?” I sobbed. “If I don’t sing, will think I don’t love him.”
She thought hard. Finally her eyes grew . “I’ve got it!” she said. “I will wear my hat!” She her brown eyes on my face. Her voice . “Jacquelyn, I’m about to a bit of secret information about angels, but first you must swear that you will never tell a soul.”

Red envelops have related to the Chinese Lunar New Year for long. I myself have had plenty of experiences both receiving and giving our red envelops in the past and 1.I mean, who doesn’t love free money?
I’m truly surprised by the degree of people’s obsession(迷恋) with red envelops this year. In fact, everyone I know spent at least a day or two crazily shaking their smart phones2.Thanks to messaging app WeChat’s new feature that allows users to send money electronically, grabbing red envelopes has never seemed so easy.
Just in case you are one of the very few people who still can’t be involved in the game,3.Givers link their WeChat(微信) to their bank accounts, and then they can send specified amounts of money to their WeChat contacts through a personal message. They can also put the cash up for grabs in chat group full of friends, and anyone who acts fast enough will get a share. Later, receivers can transfer the funds from their WeChat back into their own bank accounts.
4.I’m always for some harmless fun in life, so my natural response would be: why not? Moreover, I’ve always believed that it’s human nature to want free stuff, regardless of whether you actually need it or not. This may not be a good quality, but it’s not against the law, so I won’t get all judgmental here.5.I really can’t blame anyone for their enthusiasm in grabbing red envelops. I would have done it too, had I not thought linking WeChat to my bank accounts was too much trouble.
A. Considering these reasons,
B. here’s how it works.
C. generally speaking, it’s been fun.
D. In theory, this sounds like a fun game.
E. In terms of all the advantages above,
F. mostly trying to get as much as lucky money as possible.
G. In fact, it does harm to our life.
