Hi everyone, I'd like to share one of my old stories with you again. I'm the lady in red.
"You have to water the flowers today." my mother said sternly.
I was a child then. I wanted to rest, but instead, I had to tend the plants.
My younger twin sisters were going about their business. That really infuriated me! Why did I have to be the one to do the housework? Because I'm a girl?! Or just because I'm older?!
Maybe now that I haven't lived with them for a long time, my sisters do everything themselves. Right?

“There are no incurable diseases — only the lack of will. There are no worthless herbs — only the lack of knowledge.”
“When you do not know the nature of the malady, leave it to nature; do not strive to hasten matters. For either nature will bring about the cure or it will itself reveal clearly what the malady really is.”
“The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its causes.”
“The different sorts of madness are innumerable.”
“Width of life is more important than length of life.”

Hello, dear readers! This is Mr. H. How are you?
Today I want to tell you about my passion. Everyone in my family loves sports! I played on a sports team when I was a child. I enjoyed it, and now my family enjoys it, too.
My son and I are actively involved in sports. I give him various exercises to do, and he carries them out. This started back when my son was little; that was when I became his coach. I'm strict, but fair.
At first, we used to go running together every morning. Later, my son started doing fitness workouts in the park.
By the time he was in middle school, my athlete was already competing in various events. He's my champion! But for us, it's the participation that matters most.
"It's to your credit that our son exercises every day," my wife said once.

Words vary greatly. They can sound different and have many meanings. There are good words and bad words. That is why it's important to use phrases appropriately and choose one's words carefully.
Sometimes, words can deeply wound a person. Also, it's need to speak in a quiet and calm tone.
One can discern rudeness and politeness from a person's words.

Hello, dear children and adults! This is Mrs. Anne speaking. I'm an elderly woman, the mother of an adult daughter, and the grandmother of a young grandson.
I know about the disease that the lady in red suffers from. I feel so sorry for her! I don't understand those who stigmatize people who have been infected with this illness. The worst thing is that this is an incurable disease!
"Such cases happen. It's scary." my friend said and sighed.
"I hope she can handle it" I said with hope.

Good evening, dear people! What's new in your life? How did you spend your time?
It's me, Mr. H. About two months ago I wanted to go to the south with my family. There are beaches with the sea, warm sun, all the people around are happy and enjoying their vacation.
"I hope we can go to a warm city this year and relax there," I told my wife.
But then it turned out we couldn't go to the seaside this year. So my wife, son, and I decided to go to countryside. That's a fun way to relax, too. We can go into the woods, watch animals, and eat vegetables...
"We can go on vacation somewhere else." I said.
"Great idea!" my son said happily.
"Yes, I like it," my wife agreed.
Our summer vacation in the village was actually very interesting. My son and I went fishing, and my wife went to the market and bought a lot of necessary things. Also, we met new people.
