Passage 1

The Dong Grand Choir (侗族大歌) is a unique musical tradition of the Dong people in China. For centuries, the Dong people, who live in mountain villages of Guizhou, Guangxi and Hunan, have used these songs to share stories, teach moral values, and celebrate nature. Unlike most choirs, there is no conductor or written music—the harmony is created naturally by singers of all ages.

The songs are divided into two types: Galao and Gaxiang. Galao are performed at festivals and tell stories about history or love, while Gaxiang are short tunes people sing during daily work. The most amazing part is their singing style, combining different voice parts. Traditionally, children learn these songs by listening to elders while sitting around a bonfire at night.

However, this tradition faces challenges. With many young people moving to cities for jobs, fewer villagers are there to keep the singing tradition alive. To protect the tradition, local schools have started choir classes. The Dong Grand Festival now attracts tourists worldwide every year.

The Dong people believe that“a song is more valuable than rice”, showing how deeply music is rooted in their culture.

Passage 2

When people disagree, it can be hard to find common ground. Research on how people handle differences has uncovered useful ways to make communication better.

What the Studies Found

A survey of 1,912 people found that we often guess others’ feelings wrong. For example, we often think that others want to argue, but the fact is that they just want to learn. This proves that most people are more open than we think.

Easy Steps to Try

• Asking questions: Can you tell me why you feel that way! Asking a question like this makes other feel more willing to share their ideas. In a Stanford test, this simple question helped 40% more people listen to different ideas.

• Telling stories: Sharing your life stories works very well. In the 2018 US elections, volunteers talked to voters about immigration. Those who shared both personal stories and facts changed 5% more voters’ minds in just 11 minutes.

• Being polite: Being rude makes people stop listening and staying calm, and being kind helps other understand your ideas. Remember: Being polite costs nothing but wins everything.

The Final Thought

As a famous thinker said, different opinions aren’t just noise, they’re teachers. By asking questions, sharing stories, and being polite, we can turn differences into chances to grow.

Passage 1

Anna and her girl friends decided to take a journey along the river path. They rented a small boat and packed food, drinks, and blankets for the day.

The sun was shining brightly, making the river glitter like a sea of stars. The gentle breeze carried the scent of blooming flowers from the riverbanks nearby. As they paddled, birds flew overhead, chirping songs that echoed in the air. They enjoyed watching the ducks swim and play in the clear, sparkling water. Anna loved the calming sound of the river as it flowed past them. It felt like a perfect escape from the busy world they knew so well.

Soon, they reached a secluded spot where they decided to stop for lunch. They spread out the blankets and sat down, enjoying sandwiches and fresh fruit. Laughter filled the air as they shared stories and recalled past adventures together. The river flowed gently by, quietly listening to their cheerful conversations.

Afterwards, they continued their journey, discovering new sights. They saw a family of turtles basking on rocks under the warm afternoon sun. Anna felt grateful for this peaceful day spent with nature and good friends.

As evening approached, they knew it was time to head back home. They rowed slowly, watching the sunset paint the sky with shades of red and gold.

Dear Jane,

Sorry for the late reply. I’ve been quite busy in the past months, and finally today I’m actually doing something about it. Since we last saw each other, I’ve unpacked my bags in three different cities, thanks to my job.

I went from London to Prague to set up a new regional office there. Winter was really hard, with −15℃ in the mornings and dark really early in the evenings.

From there I was on another three-month mission to ensure the setting up of the office in New York. I did every visit you can think of when I wasn’t working and spent most of my salary on eating out.

Then I was posted to Los Angeles in California. I could definitely get used to that kind of outdoor, beach lifestyle… But, as you know, I had to fly back to London to meet my boyfriend Michael every other weekend.

Michael and I are getting married, which is also why I wanted to write. I can’t get married without my oldest friend there! The marriage ceremony is going to be at home in London in September. I hope you can come!

Anyway, tell me all your news, and I’ll write back soon!

Lots of love,Kath
