【推荐2】Q: At recess (课间休息), I don’t know what to do because all my friends are playing games I don’t like. So I end up standing by myself at recess doing nothing. What should I do? Alex Ride, 13.

Al: In fact, recess was my least favorite part of the school day for Grades 1 to 5. I was never really into playing kickball. So, like you, I spent many days at recess standing alone. Take advantage of the time you have. Books are good for a lonely recess, because they take you out of your world and into another. If reading isn’t your thing, then try making new friends. Some other things I would do were chess and paper cutting. Whatever you want to do, don’t let your time get wasted. Johnny Hayes, 15.

A2: When I was 13, half my friends threw themselves into kickball recess which was too vigorous (剧烈的) for me right after lunch. So, like you. I stood around a lot. Then, one day, my teacher, Susie, asked me, “What do you want to do?” I had no answer for her. But suddenly, it came to me: marbles! I asked a few friends, and they were happy to join me. Now, I’ m not suggesting you play marbles, only if you think that’s what you feel like doing and it can make you happy. And one last idea: There’s no harm in trying games your friends are playing that you think you won’t like. You might just surprise yourself.   Philip Galanes, adult.
