Helpful Hotline
A telephone hotline has recently gone viral (走红). It was created by students at West Side Elementary School in Healdsburg, California. People can call to get cheerful advice from students.
The hotline is in English and Spanish. Children with happy voices share positive (积极的) messages with callers. For example, by pressing “3”, you can hear a group of kids say, “You can do it! Keep trying! Don’t give up!” Pressing “4” triggers the sounds of children giggling (咯咯笑) and laughing—a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
Most people agree that with concerns (担心) like COVID-19 and extreme (极端的) weather, recent years have been stressful (令人有压力的). “To hear the pure joy from kids is comforting,” Jessica Martin told local news website 10TV News. She teaches art at West Side Elementary School and worked with the students on this project.
The basic question she had for them was: “What could you say to help or encourage someone else?” Students thought of what they would like to say. Then Martin recorded each one and sorted out (分类) the recordings into different parts of the telephone hotline.
Pressing “1” brings up ideas for people who feel upset or nervous. Helpful suggestions include punching (击打) your pillow, doing flips (翻转) on a trampoline (蹦床) or getting a cookie.
Pressing “2” results in “words of encouragement and life advice”, like “The world is a better place with you in it.”
The hotline soon got thousands of calls an hour. Words of the hotline spread on social media. The hotline is popular with stressed adults, hospital patients, older people in nursing homes and others who just want to hear some happy voices.
