These days, students often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. Worries usually cause (导致) health problems. What can they do with worries?
Some people believe the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from London, agrees. “I think talking to someone helps a lot. Unless we talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.” Laura once lost her wallet, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Liu Ming, a student from Shenzhen, feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to run away from our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to. Students often forget that their parents have more experience, and their parents are always there to help them.
In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So if you can talk to someone about your problem, you’re halfway to solving it!

【推荐2】We can see wasting actions anywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they need, and other students often forget to turn off the lights during the day. They often say that food and electricity are cheap. But I don't think so.
I think saving is of great honor(光荣) while wasting is shame. Although China is rich in some kinds of resources. We are poor in most parts. For example, we are short of food, fresh water, woods and oil. China has large population of 1.3 billion. Among them, about 20 million people don't have enough food to eat and live in poor conditions. what' s worse, it' s reported that we will run out the coal and oil in 100 years. So what can we use in the future if we go on wasting our resources? We should say no to wasting.
In our daily life, we can do many things to save things. Turn off the water taps(水龙头) when we don't' wash. Turn off the lights when we leave the classroom. Write on both sides of the paper. Eat up the food on your plate and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. If we do, wasting can be stopped one day.

【推荐2】Do you often ask questions? Children are known for wanting answers to many questions, because curiosity (好奇心) is part of human nature. Books and TV shows often depend on curiosity. People keep reading or watching because they want to find out what happens.
As we know, curiosity provides many advantages. Many of history’s greatest discoveries were made by curious people. People wondered how things worked and how work could be done more quickly. Thanks to their curiosity, people now know far more about the world and have useful technology to help them. Even if you don’t plan to be an inventor or researcher, curiosity can still help you in the classroom. If you develop the curiosity of learning, classes will become more interesting. You will be good at them because you enjoy the process of learning. Even if you’re no longer a student, curiosity will make you an able worker.
What will you do if you’re not already curious? Luckily, curiosity is a skill that can be improved. Often, the more you learn about a topic, the more interesting it becomes. To improve your curiosity, get information from as many sources (来源) as possible when you learn about a topic. At the same time, read all kinds of books, watch or listen to speeches and ask questions. Don’t always get information in the same way. Instead, learn to understand the facts that different people know.
Don’t assume you already know everything. Instead, search for other possibilities and opinions. Remember, everyone knows something that you don’t know. Find out what it is, and ask about it. This lets you learn something and makes the other people happy by letting them show off their knowledge. Let’s try to become people who are full of curiosity.

【推荐3】We often think the Arctic (北极) only has snow and ice. But in fact, it has far more than that!
The Arctic is on top of Earth. The Arctic Ocean makes up two-thirds of the Arctic, while one-third is made up of land in eight countries, including Russia, Canada, and the US.
The Arctic lands have many various lives. Some plants and animals can grow in very cold temperatures. In fact, the Arctic is home to more than 21,000 kinds of lives. There are whales, Arctic foxes and many more. The polar bear (北极熊) is the most famous Arctic animal.
You might think that the Arctic is too cold for people to live in. But surprisingly, there are about 4 million people living there. That’s the same population as the city of Taiyuan in Shanxi, China. About 10 percent are local people. They have been there for thousands of years. They make a living by fishing, hunting (打猎) and so on.
A group of scientists recently came back from a one-year-long study in the Arctic. They have bad news: the Arctic is dying. The amount of Arctic sea ice is falling by around 3 percent every year. There will be no more ice during the summer in the near future. What does this mean for us? Many animals, such as polar bears, hunt for their food on the ice. If they can’t do this anymore, they will die of hunger. Local people hunt animals for food. But since so many animals are dying, they need to change their way of life.

They share their ideas about making a good speech.
Champion（冠军）:
I think the best part of my speech was my stage manner, such as my confident smile, proper body language and the right pace when I spoke. These manners make my speaking more attractive (吸引人的). It’s a great way to share ideas and call on people to take action.
—Wang Siqi, 15, Nanjing International School
First runner-up（亚军）:
I see public speaking as an art. You need to combine logic with emotion (结合逻辑与感情). You need to have stories as well as opinions. A good story makes your opinion stronger and easier to be accepted (接受) by others. And how you do that is the charm of public speaking.
—Lan Yunjie, 15, Shanghai Starriver Bilingual School
Second runner-up（季军）:
I often start my speech with a question. It can easily draw people’s attention (注意力). I also like to make impromptu speeches (即兴演讲) in front of a mirror whenever I have any thoughts.
