Each different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.
According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.
Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year. Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.

Should we teenagers help our parents do chores? Is it important for us to learn how to do chores? I think so. Most of the teenagers like us students are the only children in each family. So our parents love us very much. They have done everything well for us and don’t want us to do any chores. I think it’s bad for us. It's not the true "love" we want to see.
I have a classmate called Li Ting. She is the only child in her family like me. Her parents love her very much, and they don’t let her do any chores. Every day she only gets up, has meals, goes to school, comes home, does homework and goes to bed. So she doesn’t know how to do chores. One day, her father was badly ill and had an operation in a hospital. Her mother had to take care of her father in the hospital and couldn’t cook the dishes for Li Ting for a week. Li Ting didn’t know how to cook the meal. She fell down in great trouble and often felt hungry. She even had instant noodles for meals. How funny! From the story we know it’s very important for us to learn to do chores and learn other skills from now on besides studying.
