Last semester in my final year of high school, I had a kind teacher whom I can never forget. I was not the best student when it came to writing tests. I had to work extra hard to get good marks, although I enjoyed learning. Anyway, this class that I truly enjoyed still had me struggling to do well on my tests. My teacher willingly helped me and was always willing to answer my questions, and I greatly appreciated it. He was a remarkable teacher, always reaching out to students and helping them achieve their greatest potential.
I remember the day of writing my final exam, I was the last one still writing in the exam room as always, reviewing my exam paper, while everyone else had already finished and left the room. After turning in my exam-paper, I started to leave the classroom, but decided to turn around and say what I had meant to say.
What I did right then was that I sincerely thanked my teacher for everything. What I said to him lastly meant a lot more to him than I thought it would —“I really enjoyed this class.” I did not think much about it. I was just being honest with him, but the look on his face was remarkable. He seemed really touched and appreciated my simple comment, just knowing that one of his students had truly enjoyed his class. That is what I call a simple, yet very meaningful act of kindness to brighten a teacher’s day, because they work so hard for us and truly inspire us to learn.
It is what we say and do to show concern to others that can make somebody else’s day extra special. I believe that a simple praise can mean a lot more than one can think.

There was a lively discussion held in my class last Friday. It was main about protecting the fine Chinese culture. Some suggested raising people's aware of preserving our culture and making people fall in love with them. For example, we could conduct creative activity like discovery tours and culture shows to help people have better understanding of our culture. Others think some courses should be offered in schools, which goal was to help students learn more about our customs, ways of life and so on. And in my view, what was mattered was that everyone should feel proud in our own culture. Also, we should attempt to passing our fine culture down from generation to generation.

The Best Way to Stop Bad Information
A lot of misinformation about a disease can sometimes flood the Internet and experts call on the public to practice "information hygiene(卫生)".What can you do to stop the spread of bad information?
1.Before you forward it on, ask some basic questions about where the information comes from. It's a big red flag if the source is" a friend of a friend" or "my aunt's colleague's neighbor."
We recently tracked how a misleading post from someone's "uncle with a master's degree" went viral (病毒式地传播)．Some of the details in the post were accu rate—some versions, for example, encouraged hand washing to slow the spread of viruses. 2.That was potentially harmful.
Could it be false? Appearances can be misleading. They may possibly pretend to be official accounts and authorities, including some famous news agencies and the government. Screenshots can also be changed to make it look like information has come from a trusted public body.3.If you can't easily find the information, it might be a trap. And if a post, video or a link looks fishy -it probably is.
Don't share if unsure whether it's true. 4.You might be doing more harm than good. Often we post things into places where we know there are experts like doctors or medical professionals. That might be OK, but make sure you're very clear about your doubts.
Think about your preference. Are you sharing something because you know it's true or just because you agree with it? "We're more likely to share posts that support our existing beliefs," says Carl Miller, research director of the Centre of the Analysis of Social Media. It's when you're angrily nodding your head that you are easily taken in.5.
A.Check your source.
B.Consider their opinions carefully.
C.Check known and confirmed accounts and websites.
D.You can't forward things on "just in case" they might be true.
E.But others made unproven claims about how to diagnose the illness.
F.So, above all, you just need to slow down everything that you do online.
G.Your followers read what you share, after all, but they may disagree with you.
