Jessica Letter 1     Whatever I do, I always think about if other people will like it. How can I stop worrying about what they think?

Erica Letter 2     My dream is to be in the Olympic team for gymnastics. My dad thinks I started too late and I'll never be able to make it. He puts me down, but I want his support. What should I do?

Ashley Letter 3     What should I do if I fail a test? I'm afraid to tell my mum because she might get mad at me and I can't play football. And football is like the world to me.

Eva Letter 4     I just moved and I'm kind of shy, so how do I make new friends?

Dr Molly's answer ①     You should tell him about your dream and that if you work really hard, it might happen even though you started late. The sooner you tell your dad how you feel, the sooner you'll be able to work on making your dream come true.

Dr Molly's answer ②     Nobody knows you at your new school. You have nothing to lose, so gather up all your courage and go to someone who looks friendly and introduce yourself. You can ask that person about your teacher or the other kids in your class to break the ice. Good luck!

Dr Molly's answer ③     It's better to tell your mum the truth than for her to find out another way. When you tell her, explain why you failed the test. Ask her if she can help you study in the future, so you'll do better in your tests and also have time for the football you love.

Dr Molly's answer ④     Just be yourself and try not to care about what others think. The more you think about it, the worse you will feel. Always act strong and confident. Even if you are a little unsure of something, don't doubt (怀疑) your abilities to do things right. Just relax.

    Lester stopped, put down the suitcases and looked at his watch. "It's five fifteen,'" he said. "Hey, what a nice watch!" said the stranger. Lester smiled a little and said, "Yes, it's not bad. Look at this." Then he showed the stranger a time display for the 86 largest cities in the world. He hit a few buttons and a voice told the time in Chinese.  Lester continued, "Its voice can be set for different languages." The stranger seemed very interested in the watch. "That's not all," said Lester. He then pushed a few more buttons and a small map appeared on the watch. "The map can show where we are," explained Lester. "I want to buy this watch!" said the stranger. "Oh, no, I'm not selling it. I have spent nearly two years making it," said Lester. "I'll give you $1,000 for it!" "Oh, no, I've already spent more than that." "I'll give you $ 5,000 for it!"

    There was a time when wearing sunglasses would be too cool for school students, but for pupils at a primary school in Australia, they are now an important part of the uniform. The move is for protecting young eyes from the sun's dangerous ultraviolet rays (紫外线), and education heads say they are considering making the plan at all state schools.

    The headmaster of Sydney's Arncliffe Public School, where sunglasses are now used for children from kindergarten to Grade 6, said they had no problems wearing the glasses on the playground. "The 'sunnies' as they are called in Australia, will soon become 'necessary things' for the pupils," Stephan Vrachas said. The education minister of New South Wales state said the government would consider making sunglasses used on all public school playgrounds.

    "It is conceivable that it might be good to wear sunglasses when they are playing in the sun," John Della Bosca told reporters. Experts said excessive exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays, already blamed for skin cancers, could also cause cataracts (白内障), A specialist at Sydney Eye Hospital said. That wraparound glasses (宽边墨镜) were the best for eye protection and children should be encouraged to wear them from the age of three to four. "Sunglasses are particularly important in summer when ultraviolet exposure is up to five times higher than that in winter," said Con Petsoglou.
