Last month, the local community invited kids to sing for the elderly at the nursing home. Grandma asked if I could come and sing the song that she taught me when I was a little girl. I didn't want to let her down, but singing in public really troubled me a lot.
"I can't do it. I'm too shy," I told my worry to my friends Molly and Emily.
"You're not alone," said Molly. "I feel nervous about singing in public too."
"Don't worry! I have an idea!" said Emily. "I mean, I always feel braver with friends. How about the three of us sing together?"
After talking about it for a while, we agreed happily. Over the next few days, we practiced the song so many times that we could not get it out of our heads.
Finally, the big day came. I wasn't the only one who was nervous. Molly's legs were shaking. Emily's hands were wet, but she still encouraged us, "We can become braver and stronger when we are together."
Emily was right. As soon as we started singing, our nervousness went away. The pretty and relaxing song just seemed to sing itself. The hall was filled with cheers. Some of the elderly even joined us. With more people singing together, we sang more confidently. When we finished singing, Grandma came onto the stage and gave us all a warm group hug.

We have many ways to get close to nature, such as dancing in the rain, stepping on fallen leaves or digging in the soil, but my favourite is walking barefoot (赤脚).
Walking barefoot can be enjoyable and helpful. It can help us sleep better and feel rested in mind and body. It can also build our foot muscles (肌肉) and improve our balance. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, walking barefoot can be good for our health.
When you want to try walking barefoot, there's no need to hurry. At first, walking barefoot for 10 minutes can be fine. After that, add 5 minutes every day until you can walk for 20 to 30 minutes. If your feet hurt, take a break or curtail the time.
Walking barefoot, however, isn't always safe. People with health problems like flat feet or back pain should avoid this practice. What's more, walking barefoot in cold or wet environments might cause health problems. To make walking barefoot safe, remember the following points:
· Choose safe places, like soft grass or warm sand.
· Stay away from things like rocks or broken glass.
· Keep shoes at hand if you worry that your feet will get too sore.
· Listen to your body—stop if you feel pain or discomfort.
Walking barefoot is a great way to feel connected with nature, but it's important to stay safe and consider your own health condition.
