Nowadays, phone calls and messages help us make regular contact(联系) with others. It means that we seldom write letters now. But a TV show, Letters Alive(《见字如面》), is bringing back this old habit.
Letters Alive invites famous actors and actresses, but there are no funny jokes or different competitions. Instead, it's just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.
The letters were written by people from different times in history. For example, in one episode(集), they read a letter written by a famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941. The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.
“Every letter opens another world for us，” according to Guan Zhangwen, the director of the TV show. “It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers，” Since its first episode on Dec. 5, Letters Alive has been widely praised. Many audiences(观众) said that it has provided a breath of fresh air to today's TV shows.
Besides Letters Alive, some other cultural TV shows have also been well received by Chinese audience. They include Chinese Poetry Conference, a traditional Chinese poetry competition and Readers, a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote. It suggests that cultural values and true feelings are becoming our interest.

Have you ever got your lunch, but not known where to sit? You don't want to sit alone. But you are not sure who would be friendly and let you sit with them.
To solve the problem, Natalie Hampton, 16, made an app called Sit With Us. It makes finding friends in the school canteen(食堂) very easy. Natalie is from Sherman Oaks, California, the US.
The free app went online on Sep.9. Students can sign up as “ambassadors”(大使) for a club. Then they can post “open lunch” events to invite others to join in.
Natalie got the idea to create the app after she ate alone her whole seventh grade year. The experience made her feel sad and she was even bullied(欺负). She changed schools because of that.
People may want to know why you don't just ask to sit down. Natalie said the app stops kids from being rejected in front of others. “This way it's very private. It's through the phone. No one else has to know. And you know that you're not going to the table，” she told NPR.
So far, the app works well. “I had my first club meeting, and everyone was very excited. People are already posting open lunches at my schools. So I'm very excited，” Natalie told NPR.
