小宝: Brother, what is the college entrance exam? Will you take it in the future too?
小刚: Yes, the college entrance exam is one of the most important exams in China. You have to take it to get into college. Many students prepare for it for years.
小宝: So after the exam, can you play every day?
小刚: Haha, a lot of people think that. But recently there’s a funny saying online: before the exam, you’re 'specially protected', but after it, you’re 'downgraded' to a regular family member.
小宝: Downgraded? What does that mean?
小刚: It means that before the exam, the whole family revolves around you, but after it, Mom and Dad say: 'You’ve grown up, now you should learn to handle things by yourself!'
小宝: Like how I learned to tie my own shoes last year?
小刚: Exactly! That’s what it means. Changing from being taken care of to becoming independent is something everyone has to go through.
小宝: So are you ready, brother?
小刚: I’m a little worried, but I think becoming independent is a great thing!
小宝: Then I’ll start practicing independence too! I’ll tidy up my toys by myself today!

黄刚: Xiaohua, did you see today’s news? On a flight, a passenger’s power bank suddenly started smoking. Luckily, everyone reacted quickly and put it out with bottled water.
陈花: I saw that too. It’s so scary! There are clear rules against using power banks during flights—why do people still do it?
黄刚: A lot of people just think, 'It won’t happen to me.' But lithium batteries are unstable, especially uncertified products.
陈花: In the end, it’s all about wishful thinking. Over the years, the Civil Aviation Administration has repeated the rules, but some people just want convenience.
黄刚: This isn’t a small matter. If a fire starts on a plane, it’s much harder to handle than on the ground. We really can’t relax about safety.
陈花: Yes, rules aren’t there to restrict people, but to protect everyone. I hope people will take them seriously.

刘娜: 小潘, what do you think is the most important thing in learning a foreign language?
小潘: I think it’s practice, especially speaking and listening more.
刘娜: How do you usually practice Chinese?
小潘: I chat with Chinese friends and listen to Chinese radio every day.
刘娜: Listening to the radio is a good method. Besides practice, what else?
小潘: Also, not being afraid of making mistakes—the more you speak, the more you improve.
刘娜: Yes, many people are afraid of making mistakes and don’t speak, which slows progress.
小潘: Right, I think learning a language means being brave enough to speak.
刘娜: Exactly. If you keep going, your Chinese will definitely get better and better.
小潘: Thank you, teacher! I’ll keep working hard!
