Dear Sir, 

My parents always put so much pressure on me. In my free time, they only1 me to go to all kinds of classes. A few days ago, I didn't get a good2 in the science exam. My mom got angry and kept on saying she "failed to raise me". I'm so3 now. What should I do?

Bob

Dear Bob, 

Sometimes parents make4 , too. Your mother shouldn't talk to you like that. Perhaps your parents grew up in a poor situation. They saw so many5 in their poor lives. So they want to give you the best. As a result, they try to6 you hard.

You must be crazy with all these. But you can't7 with them. You should have open communication with them. You could say, "Mom, I8 you and I want to do best. But what you said is not helping me out.9 , it is making me so nervous. I need you to help me but not hurt me. I understand you want10 to have an easier life than you had. But I also need to have more time to relax and be a kid. "

After you tell your parents your opinions, maybe they can understand you. 

A helper

Ann has a problem. She wants to have some new friends but she is too shy. She doesn't know what to do. So she feels sad and upset. What should she do?

You don't have to feel terrible all the time on school days. Your school days can be some of your happiest time! Yes, it is possible. Let me tell you what you should do.

On every weekend, take a piece of paper and write down the title "My Schedule(计划)". Under it, you write the days of the week. Next to the days you can write what you should do. You should give yourself enough time for study and some time for activities you like to do.

In class, you have to listen to the teachers carefully. Also, try to answer the questions they ask in class and talk about your ideas. You will be someone interesting for the teachers and someone special for your classmates. 

Try to make friends with your classmates. If they don't like to make friends with you, it's fine. Notice if there is someone whom you feel you can be friends with.

If you want to do something or you feel bad these days, you can discuss it with a friend you trust. It is very helpful to have a best friend who can reach for your hand and touch your heart. 

Invite your friends to your home or ask them if they'd like to hang out with you. Other times, do homework with them in the same time or place. You could give them ideas and they may have helpful thoughts that would help both of you.

Everyone gets stressed from time to time. Different people feel stressed in different ways. Try taking these steps when you are stressed. 

Ask for help. When you need help, ask the people who care about you for help. Talk to your parents or your teachers. And don't forget about your friends. They may be worried about the same test or have similar problems.

Don't be angry!It's easy to let your feelings out of control when you are upset. When you feel unhappy, think about why you feel that way. Then, find a way to calm down(平静下来). Doing breathing exercises, listening to music or playing with a pet will help you feel better.

Don't take it out onyourself. Sometimes when you are stressed or upset, you may take it out on yourself. This is not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Be kind to yourself and ask for help to get you through the difficult situation you are facing.

Try to solve the problem. After you calm down and get help from adults and friends, it's time to work out the problem. Although you can't solve all of it, you may begin by solving a piece of it.

Be positive(乐观的). Most stress won't last too long. Sometimes it will go away soon. If you can stay positive, you will help yourself feel better.

Five people were waiting for an interview in a room of a company.⁠But they couldn't use the phone or the Internet.

On the first day, all of the five people were excited. ⁠But there was no interview. 

On the second day, they came again for the interview. But to their surprise, there was no news about the interview. ⁠

On the third morning, they arrived earlier. Still, no news came. By mid-day, most of them were irritated(愤怒的). Some thought the company did not care for them. Some regretted coming here. ⁠He was happy all those days. He kept smiling while the others complained(抱怨). 

At the end of the day, the boss appeared. To their disappointment, the boss said that their interview had ended and only one of them was chosen. It was the man who kept happy. Then the boss added, "We want someone who can keep happy in whatever situations.⁠"

A. Two of them got upset. 

B. They all felt very unhappy. 

C. Only one man was different. 

D. Keeping happy is an ability!

E. They were imagining their bright future. 

F. Inside the room, they could do whatever they liked. 

About your problems, sometimes most of you still want parents' help and advice. However, talking to them can be difficult. What should you do to make it easier?

The more you do something, the easier it will be. Everything seems difficult at first. But if you talk to your parents more often, you will be surprised to see the change. And next time when you have problems, you will feel more comfortable to talk with them. 

Tell your parents something about you. You can share your school life with them. Even a small talk like what's for dinner can keep the relation between you and your parents close.

Maybe you also need to tell them some bad news like failing an exam. Don't be worried about what they will think of you. On the contrary(相反), they will help you find out the reasons for your poor grades. And next time, you will do better.

Anyway, remember that you are the most important person to your parents in the world. If something they do upsets you, you shouldn't be angry with them. Just have a good talk, and I am sure everything will be better.

As a child, I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others. 

I still remember it was an early autumn. Some(leaf) started to turn yellow and the weather became cool. One day, as I was getting ready for school, my mother carelessly(hand) me my father's vest(背心) instead of(I). At that time, I was getting to have a(large) size than my father, so when I put on the vest, I felt as if I wasn't able to breathe(呼吸)!I(realize) that it was a small mistake which was made by my mother, but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong it made me very angry. My mother said sorry with a smile, but I shouted at her without(think) much. I got it off my body so wildly that I made hole in it. I put on my own vest and rushed out of the house before my mother could stop me.

Later, I calmed down and I felt ashamed(惭愧的) of my bad behavior. that day, I decided not to let anger control me any longer. Of course, there are times when I am angry. However, whenever that happens, I will try(remember) my father's vest. It always reminds me to think about others' feelings when I get angry.
