Mrs. Luo asked her students to hand in their homework through a QR code(二维码). “When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. So I can check their homework everywhere using my computer or mobile phone,” said Luo.
Most students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun,” said Tingting, a student of Luo’s.
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share,” Luo said. “It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times!”
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and little time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it is unnecessary. Students still need to ________ information in books and write it down when they do their homework, which doesn’t take them too much time. As for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time. And it is also an easy way to share homework with other students.

The Double Ninth Festival
The Double Ninth Festival is on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. It is a very old festival and has a history of more than 1,700 years. As an important festival in ancient China, people celebrated the Double Ninth Festival by doing many kinds of activities, such as climbing a mountain, drinking tea and wine made from chrysanthemums(菊花), wearing cornel (茱萸) and eating double ninth cakes.
Climbing a mountain is a main activity on the Double Ninth Festival. Ancient people thought climbing a mountain on this day could help them avoid disasters. It is also traditional to wear cornel and drink tea and wine made from chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival. People believe that they can avoid disease by doing this. Cornel is a kind of plant. Its fruits can be eaten and its leaves can be made into medicine. Chrysanthemums come out in September. They are called “flowers of long life”.
One can no longer see anyone wearing cornel on the Double Ninth Festival now, but many people still climb a mountain to enjoy chrysanthemums and the beauty of autumn. A few years ago, new life was added into this old festival. We make this day the Senior’s Day. It is a special holiday for Chinese people to show love and respect for their elders. People hold many kinds of activities to respect the old people, wishing them good health and a long life.
When Wang Haiyan was young, her favorite toys weren’t Barbie dolls. Instead, she stated learning to make shadow puppets (皮影) from her father at 13. Now 43, Wang has spent 30 years practicing and spreading the art.
Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that uses puppets made from leather (皮) or paper, accompanied by music and singing, Invented during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24), it tells us about folklore (民间传说) and historical stories, passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.
Shadow puppetry is all about creating the puppets and performing with them. Wang’s hometown of Hua county, Shaanxi, is known as the birthplace of the folk art.
Puppet-makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets, including washing the leather, carving (雕刻), and painting, according to Wang. Carving is the most difficult part.
“We have a special carving technique(技巧)-moving the leather under the knife,” Wang said. “You have to hold the knife still in your right hand and only move the leather in your left hand. “ It took Wang three years to master this skill. She used a brick (砖块) to strengthen her left hand while practicing. It takes about 3,000 carves to make a shadow puppet. “The complicated (复杂的) steps make it hard to hand down the folk art,” she said.
But Wang has found a way to do so. In 2016, she made shadow puppets based on the cartoon series Huyao Xiaohongniang (《狐妖小红娘》) and gave a livestreaming (直播) performance. She used colors like blue and purple that are rarely seen in shadow puppetry and added more sticks to the puppets to make the performance more vivid.
