Li Ying, 14:From my point of view, the post-90s generation is calm and brave. I remember in the London Olympic Games, many gold medal winners werent over 22 years old. They are calm and confident. They show a strong character when they beat other more experienced athletes. Rui Xinyue, 14:The post-90s generation is kind.

On the weekends, we often go to the old peoples home to do some cleaning and talk with the old people. Liu Zikun, 14:As for me, the most important quality of the post-90s generation is filial(孝顺的), like Meng Peijie, a girl who was born in 1991. Her father died when she was only 5 years old, so she had to look after her sick mother. She also decided to take her mother to university, so that she could study and look after her mother. People call her “the most beautiful girl”. Chen Sifang, 14:The post-90s generation is creative and full of imagination. In our school, a lot of students like reading science fiction.

It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.www.&#z*% Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours sleep every night. If you do not go to bed early, you cannot have enough sleep. Then you cannot think properly and you cannot do your work properly. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy! Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning.

Blood takes nutrition (营养) to all parts of our bodies. The brains in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better! Our bodies also need air to breathe. Without air we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have plenty of clean, fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy.( ) 41.
