Happiness comes from gratitude
杜冰清 南头中学高一（9）班

Linda has always longed for a face-to-face talk with her idol James Lee, a famous movie star. One day she learned from the newspaper that Lee would visit her city to promote his new movie...

Happiness is what people have been seeking all their life. Some people are able to get it quite easily but other people cannot even though they try their best and search for it so hard. Why? In my opinion, enjoyment and happiness are not luxuries like famous brand cars that people can wish for but can’t get. They all depend on attitudes we have towards life. An active and optimistic person always finds the source of happiness and

enjoyment in their ordinary life. When he sees a flower in spring, he will feel happy and joyful because he knows it is nature that brings him such beautiful scenery. So no matter how hard he lives his life or whatever difficulty he has to face, he will always be happy and joyful because he is full of hope in his heart. He is always grateful for life bringing him everything he wants. So I think, if we want to be happy and joyful every day, we should always have

a thankful heart. Thanks to our parents who gave us our lives; thanks to nature which brings us a beautiful world and makes our life colorful; thanks to our teachers who teach us knowledge and help us grow up; thanks to our friends who always accompany us whenever we are in trouble or in good order. As long as we have a thankful heart, we can have a harmonious relationship with people, and we will be happy and joyful.

When we were children, we started going to school. We study together with many classmates and teachers so we should have a good relationship with them. A teacher is not only a person who can teach you lots of knowledge from books, but also a person who should teach students how to live. A good teacher will use his personality to educate students to become valuable people in the future. So we should respect teachers and try to learn more from them. We should not only have two or three friends at school. We should get along well with all our classmates. Having a good relationship with your classmates puts you in a good mood. Teachers are good examples to us and classmates are our kind partners. Remember that learning knowledge is important, but learning how to work with others, how to overcome trouble on your own in society is more important.

A friend in need is a friend indeed
郭小玲 南头中学高一（1）班

As we all know, a friend in need is a friend indeed. A harmonious friendship is as necessary as the air around us. Friends bring the distance between people nearer. Friends encourage us to cheer up when we face failure or distress. All in all, friendship is an indispensable part of our life. Owing to the importance of harmonious relationships, we should think about how we can do to improve our friendships. I think that the quality of generosity is what good friends need. What else? Smiles, like food, can

bring warmth to others. The reason why smiles have such a large effect is that they demonstrate our friendliness. When you are so angry that you are out of control, please calm down and don’t let your anger do any harm.

In my view, people who always help and support us are called friends. Either at school or at home, parents and classmates are all my best friends. Teenagers of the same age have a lot of topics to talk about. When we have new thoughts and funny things, we always share laughter. When I get into trouble and don’t know what to do, I think of my friends first. I will tell them what the problem is and they will always help me and tell me how to solve it. I want to say “thank you” to them! Parents in the same way can also be my friends. But I don’t want to tell them what’s wrong with me. I just want to tell them the good news because I don’t want them to worry about me. But in fact, on many occasions they can give us good advice from their life experiences, so I think we should listen to them and talk to them often. I want to say “I love you” to my parents.

Creating an agreeable atmosphere around us
袁康馨 南头中学高一（2）班

As a senior school student, I have been taught by at least 50 teachers and have had hundreds of classmates. The funny teachers

were not only my teachers, but also my friends. We got along well, and we talked about anything without barriers, which made my teachers know more about me. In my mind, a good teacher who is liked by students should be easygoing, funny and should not be too strict with us. At the same time, I like the teacher who can give us knowledge in an easy and interesting way.

On the other hand, we can tell our teachers our own opinions and feelings to build a bridge between teachers and students. In that case, both teachers and students will enjoy an agreeable atmosphere and live in harmony. I’m a outgoing girl, so I have lots of friends. My friends always have something in common with me. We help each other without any reason.
