Eat your favorite food
Don’t overdo it, but allow yourself to eat whatever foods you love. Maybe the foods you love are actually good for you. Certain foods that include something special like fresh peach, dark chocolate can make you feel happier. They have also been proved to help fight low moods.
Watch a comedy

As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values(价值)or beliefs. These are Influenced(影响)by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life. Financial(金融)experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their money. According to our different values, experts put us in three kind. They are: the ant, the cricket(蟋蟀) and the snail.(蜗牛)
★ The ant-work first
Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks(股票基金) with low risk
★ The cricket- fun first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance (保险).
★The snail------lives under pressure
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loads（贷款）from the bank in order to buy things such as expensive houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not
sure they can afford((买得起)it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.

【推荐3】Parents are the most important people in our life. They influence our lives in so many ways. They teach us almost everything about living, give us strength of character and make us who we are. It is because of them that we become able to do our duties. 4. The things that we are able to do are their gifts to us. Right from taking care of us when we are young to guide ourselves whenever we need their advice, they are always there by our side.
All we can do for them is to give them love and happiness and try to make them feel proud of us. First of all, you need to follow all the good things they taught you when you were very young. It could be about eating healthily or exercising in a regular way, or it could be about helping anyone who needs help.
Not making complaints is also a good way. So don’t complain about what you don’t have. Learn to appreciate (感激) and love what your parents give you; you may not know the struggles they go through in order to give you that.
5. 第三，你也需要开始明智且自信地做你自己的决定。In other words, take control of your life by deciding what will be good or bad for you. Let them see that you are able to do all kinds of things without asking others for help.
More importantly, you should try to be a good person. Be polite and respectful to your family and friends. When they give you a suggestion, you’d better take their ideas into consideration. Try to work as hard as you can and be modest (谦虚的) with what you have achieved. Anyway, seeing you grow into a good person will surely make your parents proud.

【推荐1】Are you tired of hearing such sentences? “When I was your age, …”. “Back in my day, … ” Those of the older generations(一代人) you know, always like to tell us how lucky we are. Today, we have the Internet, smartphones, a good education, among other things. When they were young, they “weren’t so lucky”. Their lives were much, much poorer.
Perhaps every generation has experienced this. As time goes by, it seems the older generations cannot help but be “jealous(忌妒的)” of the younger generations.
I’m a millennial. My generation (Generation Y) was born between 1980 and 1995. When I was young, the Internet moved as slowly as a snail. Cellphones (not smartphones) were all black and white. Yet, every time my parents caught me playing computer games, they told me how lucky I was and I should do something more responsible with my life. But little did they know that only ten years later, some people could make a living by playing video games.
You are most likely members of Generation Z (born between 1996 and 2010). Most of you have been growing up in even better conditions. You have been receiving a better education. You have also been exposed to(接触) many new technologies. The recent Bilibili video Rising Waves inspired all members of new generations. The message is clear. We are the products of our time. Hug our lives and choose the path we would like to take. Our futures are not determined（决定） by what someone from an older generation says, they are what we choose to make them.
