Dear Sir or Madam, I hate to complain, but recently one thing really disturbs me. Last weekend, my mother and I went to your store and bought a beautiful set of furniture. However, it smells bad all the time. It kind of becomes a big trouble in our house. We are not able to sleep well at night. We have to sleep with the windows open in such cold winter. Even so, the bad smell doesn’t go away at all. However, my father has got a bad cold because of sleeping with the windows open at night. I’m afraid that terrible smell will do more harm to our health. I’m very upset about the bad effects brought to my family. If you could do something necessary to change this situation, for example, changing it with another qualified (合格的) one for this or giving our money back, I would be thankful. Yours truly, Frank Avery |

【推荐1】It is necessary to share your feelings with others. Sharing your feelings helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you.
Sometimes it can be really hard not to tell anyone that you’re feeling sad, worried, or upset. Don’t keep feelings locked inside. If that, it can even make you feel sick!
But if you talk with someone who cares for you, like your mom or dad, you will not be alone with your problems or worries. It doesn’t mean your problems and worries go off, but at least someone else knows what your trouble is and can help you find ways to do with it.
If the person doesn’t understand what you mean right away, try explaining it a different way or give an example that has something to do with you. Of course, there are many ways for you to speak up your feelings. If you think you’ll have trouble saying what’s on your mind, write it down on a piece of paper.
Some children, just like some adults, are more private (有隐私的) than others. That means some people will feel shy about sharing their feelings. A kid doesn’t have to share every feeling he or she has, but it is important to share feelings when he or she needs help.

【推荐2】It is easy to tell someone good news, but what about bad news? Are there any good ways to give bad news without making people too upset?
Say something good
Try to start the conversation with something good so that what you say is not all bad. For example, “I know you play soccer very well, but we only need one teammate.”
Prepare your listener for the news
Use certain words to introduce what you’re going to say, like “I’m really sorry, but……” or “I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news.”
Try to give a reason
If you are giving someone bad news, try to use a nice voice to make you sound kind. Say things to show that you understand, like “I’m really sorry, I know this must be disappointing.” It might help to make him or her feel less upset.
A.Or you may end the conversation with a promise. |

【推荐3】Jacky feels different these days. He isn’t as playful as usual and doesn’t like to talk much. Some of us may feel like Jacky sometimes.
But don’t be afraid of having bad moods.
Accept our moods
No one can be happy all the time. Our friends and parents also have bad moods sometimes.
Let our bad feelings out
When we feel unhappy or upset, don’t hide our feelings or pretend nothing is wrong. We can find a comfortable way to let them out.
Messing up (搞砸) something can put us in a bad mood, too. But we can just try harder next time. For example, we didn’t win a soccer game. Try to score a goal next time. We didn’t do well in in an exam. Try to get five more points next time.
No matter what makes us feel bad, it will end at last.
If you follow the above ideas, you’ll discover a whole new world.
A.Bad moods are normal |
B.Set a new goal |
C.The tips below can help us solve them |

【推荐2】Do you like travelling? How can you make your trip interesting? Here's some advice.
Read
Before we leave, we should find some information about the place we want to go to, such as its geography, its history and its famous people. And we should read them carefully. So, we can really understand that place during our trip even though we don't have much time.
Take photos!
Most of us take a camera when we travel. If you want to take some photos, remember to choose the most special sights. Don't choose the sight we can see in other places. For example, Beidaihe, Qingdao and Zhuhai are coastal cities. Don't only take photos of the sea. You should take photos of something else, too
Taste!
Don't buy the food that you like most because you can buy it in your own city or town. You'd better taste something special in that area. Food in some places is very delicious. And from food, you can find its food culture. So why not taste it? Maybe you have just one chance to taste it in your life.
Write!
When you visit a place, you should take a pen and a notebook, so you can write down what you see and what you think during the trip. Later, when you read it, you'll feel that you can find the pleasure during the trip.

Dear Mr. Friend, My desk-mate tells me that there are a lot of people in my class who have hated me for a long time. I think how I behaved in the past, but I don’t think I did anything wrong. I feel lonely and sad now. What should I do? Julia |
Dear Julia, First, you should keep in mind that not everyone is going to like you all the time. Some people might even hate you for no reason. I know that sounds unfair, but that’s just how some people are. I will say this for you. It’s not good to hear that your classmates supposedly(据说)dislike you. Why do I say “supposedly”? It’s possible that your desk-mate is lying to you. He or she might be the one who hates you. Your desk-mate might be trying to trick you and make you feel bad. On the other hand, it’s also possible that you did something in the past that you don’t quite remember—something that made your classmates dislike you. Maybe you can have a chat with your teacher and ask him or her if you misbehaved or hurt someone in the past. However, I think it’s more likely you’re your desk-mate isn’t being honest with you.

We went into a secondhand shop to get out of the rain.
I took my 6-year-old daughter’s hand and we started to walk around. Suddenly she reached out her hand to touch a pair of shiny black shoes.
“Buy for me?” she asked.
“Oh, Sweetie, they are tap dancing (踢踏舞) shoes. You aren’t taking tap dance.”
“Buy for me?” she repeated. “Well, let’s try them on.”
She sat on the floor and took off her bright pink rain boots. When she stood up we heard “click”. She took a step, “click, click, click.”
The sun came out and we went on our way. Our next stop was the grocery store (杂货店).
“Click, click, click ...” people turned to look as we entered the store. People would never allow their daughter to wear tap dancing shoes to the grocery store.
“Excuse me, dear. Why would you allow your daughter to wear tap dancing shoes here? They make such a noise.”
“Isn’t it wonderful?”
“Wonderful? My dear, this is not the place to wear those shoes.”
“You don’t understand. When she was a baby, doctors told us that she would never walk or talk. It has taken a lot of hard work and patience, but she asked for the shoes and the ‘click, click, click’ says that she can walk,” I said.
My daughter is 18 now and will graduate from grade 12 in June. It has not always been easy, but it has all been worthwhile (值得做的). She has taught me that it doesn’t matter what others think. They don’t walk in your shoes.

【推荐2】Last week, I finally managed to ask my parents to buy me a new football shirt for the school match. I was very excited and wore it to the training before the match, but I wished I hadn’t done that! My new shirt was torn (破损的) after the training and only a tailor (裁缝) could help!
As I walked home worriedly, I saw a shop sign: All Kinds of Repairs and Services! I went inside at once. I looked around the shop and saw broken toys, broken chairs ... I wondered if I was in the wrong place. Just at that moment, a man with white hair came up to me and said cheerfully, “Welcome! This is a repair shop and I can repair everything!”
“But ... what I need is a tailor to deal with my football shirt.”
“You’ve come to the right place. I’ve been waiting a long, long time to repair a football shirt.”
“Really?” I held the shirt in my hands.
To my surprise, he took the shirt from me, put on glasses and sat down on the sofa with my shirt in his hands. “I guess you are a striker (前锋),” he smiled warmly. How could he know? The man gave me a wink and said calmly, “See that picture on the wall? That was me 30 years ago.”
I couldn’t believe my eyes! He was Orhan, the famous footballer who was on the city team years ago! I told him I was playing for the school team and I had been his fan for years. I told him everything, my dream, my practice and even my dad’s words. “Dad thinks I should be an engineer or a doctor.” I lowered my head.
“Follow your dream, choose a job you love and carry on.” The man smiled at me with his blue eyes. He patted (轻拍) me on the shoulder and put the shirt he had repaired in my bag.
Today I have become a footballer and I still keep that shirt in my closet.
