This year is the Year of "Niu"or the Ox.Many Chinese people believe it's a good year because they love the animal so much.

In Chinese culture, "laohuangniu" is a symbol of hard work and selflessness (无私),because it works hard but asks nothing for itself.People love the animal so much that they write poems about it and paint pictures of it.

But in the West,people have a different opinion about the animal. "Bullheaded" (固执的) people will not listen to advice.If someone behaves "like a bull in a china shop",people say he or she is clumsy when he or she should be more careful.

We hope that all the teenagers can work just as hard as the OX does.Avoid"a red flag to a bull"﹣ something that may make you very angry,And we also hope that you will always"take the bull by the horns (不畏艰险)"when you run into difficult situations.
