My Earth Day Birthday

Every year, Ido something special on my birthday to help the environment. Last year my mom and Ihelped clean up a beach. Ihad a great time and learned a lot about ocean animals. But this year’s celebration was even better!

Back in January, my teacher, Ms. Gonzales, told usthat the school would hold a special Earth Day celebration this year. Because of my birthday, my classmates put me in charge of the whole thing!

After discussing,we had a great plan. Some family members even helped us with our projects. We were surprised at how fast the time flew. Before we knew it, Earth Day had arrived.

When our class planned the Earth Day fair, we knew that kids from our school and their families would come. We had no idea that our whole town and other towns nearby would hear about it. But during the fair, a news van（新聞車）pulled up with a television reporter and a camera person!

After Ms. Gonzales talked with the reporter,shecalled me over and introducedus. She told him that Ihad helped to organize the fair. The reporter asked how Ihad become involved in environmental activities. I told him that Idecidedto do something to make a difference when I sawa dead turtle in Mexico. He said he thought our Earth Day fair was a big success.

Iwas really excited about being on television. But Iwas even more excited when Igot a phone call that night from our town’s mayor（鎮(zhèn)長）. She told me she had seenthe news about the fair.And she willhold an Earth Day celebration for the whole town next year. She wants to include special activities for kids, and asked me to work with her!

I’m so happy that Ifound a way to helpthe environment and Ihad a chance to get more people involved. Maybe the life of that sea turtle Isaw in Mexico wasn’t a waste after all.

Lin Xiao, 21, a student at Guangdong University, has a big family – her two parents, a younger brother and two younger sisters. Lin took her role as the “big sister” seriously. When her first sister was born, Lin took turns with her mom holding the baby late into the night. “I almost did everything that was supposed to be a parent’s job, but I felt proud of myself,” she said.

Not all of Lin’s classmates shared her experiences because of the family planning policy (政策), The one – child policy has been carried out in China for about forty years. But the situation is about to change. A new policy made on October 29 said all couples can now have two children.

The new policy is expected to help raise the population of China. Recently, China has been facing an aging population and labor shortages because of the low birth rate (比率).

The two-child policy may also be the gift for every only child. Researchers found that growing up with a brother or sister can have good influence on one’s mental (心理) health.

“Brothers and sisters do matter in unique ways. They give kids something that their parents don’t.” Laura Walker, a professor from Beijing University, told China Daily. She noted that having a brother or a sister protects teenagers against loneliness, fear and so on.

Liu Fang, 20, from Shenzhen University, has a 2-year-younger sister. When her sister disagreed with parents over choosing a college major, she helped her to communicate with her parents. “If necessary, I would always have her back,” said Liu. “The best part of having a sister is that you have a partner, friend and supporter throughout your life.”

But children with brothers or sisters also have to learn to understand and look after each other, said Laura.
