Disney has made many cartoon movies． The princesses in the movies are often girl's favorite characters． From Snow White to Moana， every princess leaves a deep impression on people． However， have you noticed that Disney princess are changing？

In the early Disney cartoon movies， princesses like Snow White， Cinderella and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty are usually good-looking and kind-hearted． But they have to depend on others to get out of trouble and find happiness． They end up living happily with their princes．

Now， people still love those princesses， but more and more girls know they have to fight for their own happiness． Disney has noticed the change． So the princesses in its newer movies don't just have good looks．

Merida from Brave is a good example． She was born as a princess and she likes going on adventures． She spends her days practicing archery（射箭术）， riding her horse and experiencing the world around her． She loves her family， but she wants to take control of her own life．

Cindy's story is not uncommon， but help is always there． All students in the UK now have to follow strict bullying policies（政策）． There are many charities and organizations giving support to young people， such as BullyingUK and Childine． So remember one very important piece of advice： If you are being bullied， don't put up withit - tell someone．

The little boy seemed to accept Coco's death without any difficulty． We sat together for a while after Coco's death， explaining that animal lives are shorter than human lives．

Eric， who had been listening quietly， piped up： "I know why．"

He said， "People need a lifetime to learn how to live a good life-like loving everybody and being nice， right？" The six-year-old continued， "Well， animals already know how to do that， so they don't have to stay as long．"

American and British people both speak English of course．But sometimes it does not seem like the same language．In fact， there are some important differences between British English and American English．

（1） 　　Often， Americans don't say each word separately．They say several words together．Americans may say "I dunno" instead of "I don't know"．Or they may say "Whaddya say？" instead of "What did you say？" However， the British are more careful in their speech．They usually say all the words and keep them separate．

Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English．Words sometimes have different meanings too．（2） 　　Americans drive trucks， but in England people drive lorries．

（3） 　　In England， if you are going to telephone your friends， you "phone them up"．In America， you "give them a call"．

There are also some differences in grammar．For example， Americans usually use the helping verb "do" when they ask a question．They say "Do you have a storybook？" But the British often leave out the helping verb．（4） 　　

Most languages are like this．Languages change over time．When people live in separate places， the languages change in different ways．This is what has happened to English．（5） 　　Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France．
