Rain’s real name is Jung Ji Hoon(郑智薰). His music teacher thinks his eyes are wet and smiles are sunny. He wrote lots of the songs on his first CD during rainy days. So his teacher gave him the name Rain.

Everyone looked at him in a different way. So he began to dance more. “I enjoy dancing,” he said. Rain really wanted to sing and dance. He worked hard at school, so that his father would let him dance. He gave up rugby(橄榄球) and put all his time and energy into dancing. When his mother died four years ago, he held the sadness in and kept on practising day and night.
Now Rain has won awards with his music. His CDs have sold millions and he has acted in TV shows. Rain doesn’t want to sing forever, though. He dreams of doing a different job. “When I stop singing, I’d like to design clothes. Being a designer is my childhood(童年) dream,” he said.

It is reported that 300 million people in have eyesight trouble. More and more parents hope to save their children's eyesight with medicine, or by correcting the ways that children read and sit. But in fact, one should start with the exercise on one's feet. Here are three ways to save eyes:
First, don't tie your shoes too closely. Try wearing comfortable and soft socks or walking without socks and shoes at home. While you are traveling, try wearing cloth shoes in order to improve blood circulation(循环).
Second, walking on tiptoes is good for one's eyesight. It can fight against eyesight trouble. Numbers show that most of ballet performers' eyesight is better.
Third, rope skipping(跳绳) can also be good for one's eyesight. While skipping rope, one has to move quickly, making both the brain and the eyes excited. It may also help make one grow taller.
Besides foot exercises, it is good to pull one's ears. Pulling the ears 20 times quickly is also a great way. It can keep one's eyes healthy.

Dear Editor,
I am a student in Grade Three. We have made a survey—"To whom you go when in trouble". Here are the results. Most of the students will go to their classmates or friends when they are in trouble because they are almost of the same age, they can talk with, communicate with and understand each other easily. Some students will tall their teachers or parents about their trouble as the teachers and parents have rich experience and love them very much. They can be trusted by these students. A few solve their problems all by themselves. They hate to talk with others and can't get on well with others. They have few friends.
In my opinion, when in trouble we’d better ask our teachers, parents, friends or classmates for help.
Yours Sincerely,
Li Ping
