    A woman was walking down the street when a female beggar (女乞丐) came to her and asked for some money. The lady took a 50-yuan note out of her wallet and asked, "If I give you this money, will you spend it on chocolate?

    "Don't be so crazy!" the beggar replied. "Does it look like I have nothing better to spend money on?"

    "What about shopping?" the lady asked.

    "No," the beggar said, "don't you understand I need money just to stay alive?"

    "Will you spend it on your hair?" the lady asked.

   The beggar replied furiously, "No, I just need money for food and a place to live. Please don't give me such a hard time!"

    "Well, if so," the lady said, "I would like you to eat dinner with me and my husband tonight""

    "Why?" the beggar asked.

    The virus(病毒) might have stopped Chinese students from going back to school. But it hasn't stopped them from learning. Do you know how to learn better online at home? Here is some advice from different students.

    ★Keep connected(连接的)

    To me, the biggest headache about studying online is my poor Internet connection. During one online class, I couldn't hear my English teacher and I had to connect again. It took lots of time. Since then, I have checked my connection before class every day and asked my family members not to use the Internet while I'm in class.

— Wang Chen, 13, Beijing

    ★Control yourself

    During the first day of studying online, I was excited and listened carefully. But soon I found that my teacher had no idea what I was doing at home so I could hardly control myself. I began to play games. Now, I've set screen time for both my telephone and computer. At night, I try not to play with my mobile phone and make preparations for the next day.

— Qiu Ziyin, 13, Shenzhen

    ★Find the right classes

    I think finding the right classes are the most important when studying online. For example, I had difficulty understanding some English grammar points, so I searched on the Internet and watched several videos from teachers across China. It's good for us to get different teachers.

— Zhang Jiawen, 14, Shanghai
