I arrived in Shanghai in May and will spend nine weeks here teaching English in a kindergarten.Last year I traveled to Hong Kong and after that experience I really wanted to explore more of China.I have always wanted to volunteer abroad, so coming on this trip has given me the opportunity to do both.
During the orientation week, I stayed in the volunteer flat and was told what to do after I started working there.Another volunteer Kelly arrived at the same time as me.When we were free, we went on sightseeing trips, and learned about Chinese history and culture to help us get by.We also met the students and teachers.This first week was brilliant as it gave me an opportunity to get settled into the city before starting work.
When I applied, I was a bit worried about being the only volunteer.But once I got to the school, I was immediately put at ease.There are about ten other volunteers here from across Europe.
After the orientation week, Kelly and I moved out to the Shanghai Creativity Kindergarten to begin our work.I was nervous about starting my English lessons.For the first day, I sat in on another volunteer's class and the next day I was on my own.The lessons are short (about twenty minutes each), yet it can still be difficult to find fun things to do each day to keep their attention for that long! I teach them songs and play games with them to help them remember words and phrases.The teachers stay in the room to help me explain things and to keep the kids sitting quietly.
So far, I've already been here for three weeks.I enjoy working in the kindergarten and I'll try my best to do my job well.

In the United States parents may have many kinds of cultures and customs (风俗)．Most of these parents believe strongly in passing them on to their children.It is very important to know how to do this, because they can stay with a child for the rest of his/her life.
It is always good to start teaching them to a child as early as possible.To begin with, it is a good idea to have toys that are meaningful because children often get very attached to their first toys.
In addition, a parent should also introduce a child to music.Music is a way for a child to express emotions (情感) and this is another great tool.Music is also the link (纽带) between a child and a language.What else do we think of when we say music? Dancing! Of course, there is nothing better than seeing a child enjoy dancing to a song that is culturally meaningful.Although music and dance are relevant, the most important and perhaps the most difficult step in maintaining culture is teaching a child to eat all kinds of foods.In particular those typical dishes which often look to a child like their worst nightmare! The trick to achieve this is to take small steps.Do not sit a child in front of a giant plate with everything in it; this would only scare them away.A small portion is the ideal way to approach it and is also important to sit down next to the child and allow him/her to see that the parent is also sharing that moment.
These are just a few ideas to help keep the cultures and customs in a family.There is no better feeling for a parent than seeing their children being proud of their background, especially when such things are so meaningful.Let it start with a simple toy and build up to other situations.The only thing a parent should do is not give up!

“I grew up on monkey bars, and I never forget how good it felt to get to the top of them with other children，” Mr Stern said.“I don't want to see the playground without them．”
His philosophy is shared by some researchers who question the value of safetyfirst playgrounds.Even if children do suffer fewer physical injuries, researchers say that these playgrounds may prevent emotional development, leaving children with anxieties and fears that are worse than broken bone.
“Children need to meet risks and overcome fears on the playground，” said Ellen Sandseter, a professor of psychology at Queen Maud University in Norway.“I think monkey
bars and tall slides are great.As playgrounds become more and more boring, these are some of the few facilities that still can give children exciting experiences with heights and high speed.”
“Climbing equipment needs to be high enough, or else it will be too boring in the long run，” Dr Sandseter said.“Children approach thrills and risks in a progressive (渐进的) manner, and very few children would try to climb to the highest point when they climb for the first time.The best thing is to let children meet these challenges from an early age, and they will then progressively learn to master them through their play over the years.”
Falls are the common form of playground injury.But these rarely cause longlasting damage, either physically or emotionally.While some psychologists and many parents have worried that a child who suffers a bad fall would develop a fear of heights, studies have shown the opposite pattern: a child who's hurt in a fall before the age of 9 less likely becomes a teenager who has a fear of heights.

Parents have widely different views on the problem of pocket money. Four new fathers were asked this question and this is how they answered.
Ashish Khanna：Although many argue that pocket money helps develop children's sense of value, I don't agree. I wouldn't give my child any pocket money.First of all, I never got pocket money and I seem to have a good value for money.If my child ever needed something and I felt it was a reasonable (合理的) request, I would buy it for him.
Sharad Sanghi: No, I wouldn't give my child pocket money because I don't want to create the perception (观念) of “her” money and “my” money.Besides, if I refuse to buy her
something that I think is bad for her, she may buy it with her pocket money on_the_sly．In this way, I would lose control over my child's requests.I feel it also encourages children to care more about money than anything else.I don't want my child to start judging other children by the amount of money or pocket money they have.
Rakesh Shah: Yes, I would give my child pocket money.I feel that children should learn to spend money intelligently and not go overboard spending.They will learn what are their limitations (限制) are and feel the difficulty when they have to pay for something that is over in their own pockets.
Rajiv Patel : Yes, I would give my child pocket money because it is important that she learns to manage money.I will give her a fixed amount every month and if she spends the money before the month is over, then she will learn a lesson and not spend money so freely.
Vikram Desai：Yes, I would certainly give my child pocket money.But I would not give it to him on a weekly or monthly basis.He would have to earn it.If he helped me finish some of my jobs or helped his mother with housework, I would reward him.This helps him realize that “money does not grow on trees” and it requires hard work to earn money.

I believe I can fly
I used to think that I could not go on And life was nothing but an awful song But now I know
If I can see it, then I can do it If I just believe it, there's nothing to it I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
There are miracles in life I must achieve But first I know it starts inside of me If I just spread my wings 参考范文：
I believe I can fly is a nice song which tells us that confidence is of great importance. Whenever we have confidence, we believe in ourselves. Dreams and confidence are what keep up going on in face of difficulties.
Three years ago when I became a senior student, I was not used to the high-speed life so that I began to lose my confidence. As a result, I did quite badly in exams. However, my teachers and friends kept cheering me up and I was greatly convinced that if I just spread my wings, I surely achieve my dream only if I try.
Never give up whenever we meet with any difficulties. Remember confidence is the key to achieving success.
