'Sailing' Classroom is Full of Fun

   As a college student majoring in education, I need to master many skills required for teaching. Today was the first time the members of the "Sailing" social practice team truly stood on the platform as teachers, imparting knowledge to students. It was their first real experience, and I could sense that everyone was a little scared but also full of anticipation. The fear stemmed from the fact that it was their first time standing there, and they weren't sure if they could handle the role well; the anticipation came from the long preparation they had put into these classes, wanting to bring these students a unique kind of joy.

  This afternoon, in a Chinese language and classical studies class, the students' clear voices reciting their lessons filled the entire campus, and laughter filled the classroom. Watching quietly from the sidelines, I could feel the same joy from the young teachers on stage. The Chinese language and classical studies class imparted the profoundness of Chinese culture, but they used a different approach. For example, they asked students to read a poem, what imagery came to mind, and then draw it down in a simple picture. Undoubtedly, this was a success. The joyful scene proved this point. In the classroom, the "Sailing" social practice team members hoped that students could learn happily and strived to make the classroom as fun as possible. I think this lesson was very successful; the students gave the 'Sailing' social practice team members a lot of encouragement.
  Today was the first day of formal classes for the 'Sailing' social practice team, and it was a great start.

A foreign land, a different kind of charm.

 　　In a foreign land, I'm used to measuring the local customs with my eyes and understanding the folkways with my heart. No matter where I am, every brick, every tile, every person, and every event evokes endless emotions in me. 　　Yao'an has two distinctive features that I rarely saw before. In the north, where rainfall is scarce, single-story houses are the norm, but in Yao'an, pointed-roof tile houses are everywhere, surrounded by high walls forming deep courtyards with vermilion gates. Perhaps the branches in the courtyards couldn't resist climbing over the walls. Such architecture, in the north where family values ​​are strong, is both solemn and vibrant. I grew up in a mountain village, where I mostly saw stone houses nestled at the foot or halfway up the mountain. I rarely saw this kind of architecture, and my mind was full of questions: Why are the walls so high? Why are the gates red? Why are the roofs pointed? 　　Walking along the paths of this foreign land, wat...

The Moonlight in My Heart

 　　The moonlight shines into human life, inspiring enduring acts of moon worship and sacrifice! "When I was young, I didn't know the moon, calling it a white jade plate." Lying in my mother's arms, gazing at the bright, round moon, I asked what the shadows in the moon were, and the answer was: "Grandma Moon is spinning thread." Thus, the moonlight in Dihua Miaogou felt especially familiar, because my mother's methods of spinning thread and weaving clothes were similar to those of "Grandma Moon." 　　On the Mid-Autumn Festival, a long table was placed in front of the door, laden with homegrown walnuts, chestnuts, apples, grapes, and the flatbreads my mother had baked. First, incense was burned, and we kowtowed to the moon, then sat around the long table to enjoy the fruit and flatbread dinner. Back then, there was no electricity in the mountains; with the soft moonlight, there was no need for kerosene lamps, and my parents and siblings were moved ...

The fragrance of paper

 　　I remember when I was little, every year before the Spring Festival, my family would go to the store to buy newspapers to wallpaper the walls. I was always overjoyed. I would carefully select each sheet, keeping the interesting and favorite parts separately, and saving the rest for wallpapering. Even so, when applying the paste, I would try to leave the favorite parts exposed, which often slowed down the work, and the colors of the more colorful pictures were often darker, inevitably earning me a scolding from my parents! 　　When I had some free time, I would flip through the saved newspapers, a faint fragrance wafting from them. Reading them brought me immense peace and joy. In those days, this was enough for me. I often stood by the wall, browsing the newspapers, or was drawn to the newspapers hanging on the ceiling, gazing up at them for a long time until my neck ached. 　　When I was in junior high, "New Year's cards" were very popular for a while, with all sorts of e...
