Have you ever wished you could change something about your body? If so, you’re not alone.
Many people use apps like MeituXiuxiu to beautify photos before putting them on social media. Some teenagers are even having plastic surgery (整容术) at an early age. Zeng, a senior 2 student from Chengdu, had a double eyelid surgery (双眼皮手术) done this summer. She and many of her classmates believe bigger eyes look more beautiful.
As teenagers’ bodies grow and change, they become afraid of the smallest flaw(缺陷) in their looks. They are very worried about it. This can even influence their health.
According to Huxiu News, over 60 percent of girls refuse to take part in some daily activities such as going to school, because they feel bad about their looks. As much as 31 percent of teenagers do not want to speak up in class because they worry that others will notice their looks.
One of the main causes is advertising, TV shows and social media. Pictures of “perfect” faces and bodies are everywhere. They suggest that having large eyes, pale skin and skinny bodies is the only way to be beautiful. Magazines give tips about how to lose weight “in days”. Advertisements suggest that you should whiten your skin using certain products. And TV shows often make fun of overweight characters. Seeing all these things can make people believe that they should change their bodies.
So what should we do? According to Nancy Etcoff of the Harvard Medical School, “We need to help young people in many ways. These ways can include educating students about body confidence in school, as well as encouraging parents to talk to their kids about this topic. After all, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes,” Etcoff said.

My 11-year-old daughter has been offered an academic scholarship (奖学金) to a private school. It's only a small discount (折扣), but the scholarship means she is accepted by the school which my husband and I need to pay $ 20,000 a year for. Should we pay the private school cost, or choose free education instead?
It was really a hard decision for us to make. For me, I always wanted my children to go to a private school, like I did. Not because my family is rich, but because I believe that the best education is private. It took years for me to make peace with the fact that my two children attended our local public primary school. “They'll go to a private high school.” I told myself.
But the fact is that my eldest is now in her last year of primary school, and my husband and I will find our way to afford the private school. If so, I could increase my work hours. My law degree was supposed to be my ticket to a good job and a good pay, but that was just our wishes, not the fact.
During many sleepless nights, I felt troubled by the decision. Although I want the best for my daughter, I have my own dreams too. I can't give up everything for my baby girl. I explain that I want to be a positive (积极的) role model for my daughter, and an unhappy parent is a terrible strain on a family. I point out that even the best private school won’t protect my children from disappointment or hard work. And finally, it's decided.
Because I understand it's my family that shaped me instead of my great private school education. I can no longer remember the maths problems and what Shakespeare said which I once knew so perfectly. The lessons from my family, however, have turned out to be impossible to forget.

Everyone has an important role in society. In this time of public crisis（危机）, it’s important that each of us sticks to our roles and plays them well. What can common people do in this crisis? How are the Chinese people taking on their special responsibilities? Here are some of the examples.
The novel coronavirus（新冠病毒）made this year’s Spring Festival very different for most of us. Many places in China began a first-level emergency (突发事件) response to the virus at the end of January, calling for people to stay at home. Following these rules, most people gave up family dinners during the Spring Festival and canceled any festival celebrations.
“It’s the quietest Chinese New Year I’ve ever had,” Xin Jingrong, a 14-year-old student from Nanning, Guangxi. It was the first time that Xin’s grandmother had to put off her trip to Nanning and stay alone in her hometown.
The control all over China not only separates many families, but also ▲ . Many shops are closed, delivery services are slow, and wearing masks in public has become a must. But people are showing their understanding and cooperation (合作).
Tong Zexi, a 15-year-old student from Harbin, has not gone out in more than 20 days. “I know I need to protect myself and cause no trouble. In this key time, when one gets sick, many others could be influenced.”
More than simply following the rules, some people have done amazing things to help fight the outbreak. On Feb 3, Zhao Junyan, a Junior 2 student from Shanghai, brought 15,000 masks from Indonesia back to China, People’s Daily reported. Zhao, while traveling in Jakarta, collected the masks with his uncle, who works in the city. The 15-year-old gave away all of the masks to Cangnan, Zhejiang, his hometown. “When a country is in trouble, everyone is responsible to help,” Zhao said to the reporter. “What I have done is what an normal Chinese person can possibly do.”
As a popular speech says nowadays, “We are all fighters!” Everyone has his or her role to play in this fight. And it’s believed that we can soon enjoy the warm sunshine and beautiful spring freely outside!
