         In the United States, headmasters and teachers discipline (惩罚) students in several ways. The teacher often
    writes to or calls the students' parents. Sometimes students have to stay at school for one hour. If a student
    behaves very badly, the headmaster can stop the student having classes. The student can't come to school for
    one, two or three days. Mr. Lazarus, the headmaster of a middle school in Ohio, did not like to do so. When he

    father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students looked at the boy and his father. The
    boy was embarrassed. After that he behaved better. And, of course, other students behaved better, too.

         One of my favourite memories as a child is going by the river and sitting freely on the bank. There I would
    enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush down and hear the sound of falling leaves.
         When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to return to its original position, the word "resilience" comes to
    mind. When used to describe a person, this word means the ability to become well again from shock,
    disappointment or any other situation that makes somebody unhappy.

    experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, don't break.
    Try your best not to let the situation get the best of (占上风) you. 
         Hopes will take you through the unpleasant experience. With hopes for a better tomorrow or a better
    situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be. The unpleasant experience may be easier to deal with if
    the end result is worth having.

         Cosplay is great! Cosplay is short for "costume play", which means play-acting in costumes. People who
    take part in cosplay are called cosplayers. They usually create or make costumes of their favorite animation
    characters (动漫人物) by themselves or get a tailor (裁缝) to make them. Sometimes they even prepare small
    things, like knives and earrings, which the characters wear or use in the animation.
         Cosplayers are creative (富有创造性的) and proud of their work. They spend a lot of money and energy on
    it. They not only dress up as their favorite characters in the animation, but also act like the characters.

    Potter films is Draco Malfoy, though he is Harry's rival(对手) and always tries to get Harry and his friends into
