| Hi! I’m E-tutor, or Emma. I’m here to help with any study problems, whether big or small. |
9:42 am | What should I say to my sister? Hi, E-tutor. Unluckily, I share a bedroom and a desk with my elder sister. She’s noisy and disorganized. I will have exams next week and I really need to review. I can’t concentrate when she’s studying too. And she puts her things everywhere on the desk so I can’t find anything. If I try to talk with my sister, she gets mad. Can you help? |
| Re: What should I say to my sister? Hi, Meg. That’s a common problem between sisters. Why don’t you set up a time so that you can use the desk at different times? Make sure each of you has space for your things. If everything has its own place, it will be easier to keep orderly. It might even be enjoyable to do this together. It’s easier to write instead of talking face to face, try messaging her and explain how awful you feel. |
| Disaster My problem is silly and a bit embarrassing. I just find it hard to study. I always stop and start and I keep thinking that I’m learning the wrong things. I’m a disaster. |
| Re: Disaster Hayley, your problem isn’t silly at all! It’s very real and lots of people experience the same thing. Things might improve if you set up a group to study together. Take turns to teach others what you know. It’s called “peer teaching” and is a useful practice for lots of students. |

【推荐3】I am a plastic bottle. A week ago, I was on a supermarket shelf. I had a normal life, the same as all my brothers and sisters —— other bottles full of water. I felt really happy.
Then a tall woman picked me up and put me in her basket! The woman took me home and put me in the fridge. It was cold, but I soon made friends with the cans and bottles in it. However, only a few hours later, she took me out of the fridge and drank the water inside me. Then she threw me into a dustbin. I have never felt so empty and alone in my life.
Early the next morning, a man took me out of a dustbin. He threw me and the other rubbish into the back of a truck. There were so many bad smells. Then I was pushed together with the rest of the rubbish. Soon I was completely flat. I can’t believe how thin I became.
I slept for a while. When I woke up, I found myself in a terrible place. Everything around me was ugly and had bad smells. I felt afraid. I kept hoping that I would be moved somewhere else. Then huge trucks came and covered us with something.
I asked another bottle what would happen to us. He said that we would never leave this place, but would have to stay here for thousands of years.
“Why can’t they recycle(回收利用) us?” I cried.
