I participated in a meaningful life education activity at school. We had to carry our school bags on the front of our bodies from lunchtime until the end of the day to simulate the conditions of a pregnant mother.
Eating with a “big belly” was challenging, and I felt tired. When the teacher said, “It is time to put down your school bags”, everyone shouted, “Hooray!” Through this activity, I experienced the situation mothers face during pregnancy.
My mother carried me in her belly, and it was not easy. I was grateful to participate in this activity; it made me appreciate my mother.

When I was a child, I loved watching Disney cartoons. The creative plots and the characters enthralled me. Watching cartoons was like having a friend who could make my imagination run wild. However, when I entered primary school, I began thinking that cartoons were childish. Although I now think that cartoons are boring, they were a big part of my childhood, leaving me spellbound and helping me learn to be more creative.

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
At first, I was not interested in his stories because there were too many new vocabulary words. But my mother patiently read with me, and I started reading the books on my own.
One of Sherlock’s greatest enemies is M Professor. Once, M Professor was sent to jail, but he was innocent. After he escaped, he ensured that the people who put him in jail were arrested. After that, he started committing crimes.
Investigating cases inspires me and teaches me many new words. What are your favourite types of books to read?
