Want to say “hello” from Disneyland? Send a post card!

Beautiful scenes of paradise (

乐园

)

wild animals, silly pictures- you can find them all in

one place. Where? On a post card! Have people always sent post cards? No. before post cards,

people liked sealed letters.

The idea for the first decorated(

装饰

) post card came to John P. Charlton in 1861. He

thought a simple card with decorations would be a great way to send a note. Then in the late

1800s, post cards with pictures appeared. By law, people had to write their note on the front-

on

the

picture!

The

back

was

only

for

the

address.

Several

years

later,

England

allowed

a

divided-back post card. Then people could write their note on the back left side and put the

address on the right. During the early 1900s, the golden age of post cards, picture post cards

became a craze of the world. In 1908, Americans alone mailed over 677 million post cards.

Today, post cards are the third most popular collection in the world after stamps and coins.

Post cards were produced before sealed letters.

Should Children Be Allowed to Get Bored?

Children need time to stand and stare. They should be allowed to get bored so that they

can develop their ability to be creative.

2

Children are expected by their parents to be reading a textbook all the time.

However,

research shows that it may

hamper

the development of their imagination, while boredom can

give them opportunities to develop creativity.

Boredom is often linked with loneliness, but a writer named Meera Syal said boredom

had helped her in developing her mind. She told researchers about her childhood. Having few

things to do, Syal often talked with her neighbors. She also tried to do things like learning to

bake cakes.

“

But importantly, I thought and wrote a lot, because I was bored,

”

Syal said. She

kept a diary, filling her time with short stories and poems she made up.

Grayson Perry, an artist, grew up in a family with little money.

He enjoyed himself by

making

up

stories,

drawing

pictures

for

his

stories

and

reading

many

books

in

the

library.

Bored but free, he spent hours looking out of the window, watching the changing clouds and

seasons.

Perry

filled

up

his

free

time

with

what

he

liked.

He

became

creative,

because

he

could think freely.

Dr. Belton is

an expert on the

effects of emotions

on learning.

“

Boredom could be an

uncomfortable

feeling,

”

she

said.

“

But

some

young

people

cannot

deal

with

that

boredom

creatively. So sometimes they may break a classroom window, or drive a car out for a mad

race.

”

Usually, when children have nothing to do, they would turn on the TV

, the computer, or

the phone. Their time on these things has increased, yet they need to have time to think about

their experiences through play or just watching the world around them.

It is this kind of thinking that can inspire the imagination. On the other hand, the TV or

phone

may

cut

short

the

thinking

process.

That

can

be

harmful

to

the

development

of

creativity.

“

For developing the ability to be creative,

”

Dr. Belton advised,

“

Perhaps we need

to stand and stare, and stay off-line from time to time.

”

Tips for Writing Better Articles

Many of us don

’

t spend a lot of time improving our writing skills. This can be a problem

when we hand in our articles. Good writing skills will help us improve our grades and benefit

us later in life.___21___.

Make good word choices.

When we

’

re not sure which word is the right one for a

sentence, look it up in a dictionary. Many of us choose words in a hurry and don

’

t take the

time to decide if they

’

re proper. __22__.

Check facts.

If we want people to believe what we write, we must make sure our facts

are true. We should use dependable facts.

Rewrite.

A common problem is that we don

’

t like to rewrite. In fact, rewriting is the best

way to find out and correct some mistakes, like grammar and spelling mistakes.__23__,

though it takes more time and more work.

Read aloud.

Sometimes it

’

s easier to find problems with spelling, word usage, and

grammar when we read aloud. Reading aloud helps us not only find out our problems but also

develop our writing.

__24__. Such a list includes: Is there a proper title? Have we explained every point? Are

all the parts of the article included? This can help us to make sure that we have covered

everything. So preparing a list is necessary for writing a good article.

__25__. But with a few simple steps, we can improve our writing skills and learn how to

write better articles.

A.

Prepare a list
