The Songkran Festival is traditional Thai New Year’s Day and is celebrated from April 13 to April 15. It is also called the “Water Festival” because people believe that water will wash away bad luck. Also, this festival is for rain because it is held in the hottest season.
In the past, on this day, people threw small drops of water on monks(僧人) and old people to bless them. Nowadays, besides the old tradition, people also throw water on whoever walks past their houses or walks down the street. Everyone gets wet, but it is all in a spirit of friendliness, blessing and fun — even among people who usually have great disagreements. People who get wet actually do not get angry because they know that it is a tradition.
On this day, everywhere in Thailand, people celebrate and enjoy the festival. People will carry water to the temples to soak the stone figures(石像), using brushes. They also give very good food to the monks. Chiang Mai Province, which is in the northern part of Thailand, is especially lively, and animals and birds are often set free from their cages.
Volunteers can stay in Bangkok(曼谷) for the celebrations or travel to smaller communities to take part in local activities. What’s more, people can enjoy public events, such as beauty contests and marching bands during this festival which ends on April 15. In recent years, the number of foreigners in Thailand has increased rapidly, especially during the festival.
The Water Festival gives people freshness, happiness and fun during the hottest season. No wonder the Thais like it so much.

Open an app, place your order, and wait for your food to be delivered(配送) to your home— this is how many people eat in China these days. According to the latest data from the China Internet Network Information Center, 421 million Chinese people use online food delivery services.
That's equal to half of the total number of Internet users in China.
Which group of people is ordering food online the most? Unsurprisingly, it's mainly young people. A recent report that was jointly (RRS) published by the China Hospitality Association and Meituan, food delivery service, showed that 86.3 percent of the service's users are between 20 and 34 years old.

Small families depend greatly on food delivery services. According to the National Bureau of Statistics(国家统计局), Chinese families have changed in size over the past decade.

For small families, cooking is relatively(相对) more time and resource consuming(耗时耗材), so ordering food online has become more popular.
The improvement of China's food delivery services has also attracted more customers. According to Meituan's report, the average time it takes to make a food delivery dropped from 38 minutes in 2016 to 29 minutes in 2019. Many delivery platforms are also offering more services, delivering products such as fruit, vegetables, medicine and flowers. As its services continue to improve, it's likely that the food delivery industry will keep growing.

Dear Teens,
①Do you wonder why some kids can stay calm while others get nervous so easily? Why do some kids do everything very quickly while others are very sluggish? Why are some kids always happy while some feel upset all times?
②One of the answers to these questions is personality(个性). People were born with different personalities. A baby gets its blood type, genes(基因) and other physical things when it is still inside its mother. These factors(因素) make part of your personality. Besides, family life, school learning and life experiences can also decide what kind of person you are. You may not like your personality. Don't worry. You can always try to change it and make yourself better.
③If you are a selfish person who always thinks of yourself, you can start this way. Try to give others a hand and ask for nothing in return. The happiness you get from giving instead of receiving will help you change your personality.
④If you are very shy and don't know how to make friends, just tell yourself to smile at others and start talking to others with warm greetings. You are sure to have more friends than you used to do.
⑤If you are sluggish person who always does things slowly, you' d better make a plan every day. When you finish something, draw a happy face. If not, draw a crying one. No one would like to see a crying face and you will have the desire to change it into a smiling one.
⑥All in all, don't get too worried about your shortcomings (缺点). No one is perfect. That's why many people are trying to change. Don't give yourself a hard time about it all. It's not easy to change the habits overnight. Remember "Rome is not built in a day". Keep working at it. One day you'll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new person.
Dr. Olson
