Sometimes the hardest thing about feelings is sharing them with others. Sharing your feelings helps you both when your feelings are good and when they aren’t so good. Sharing also helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you.
Before you can share your feelings with someone, you have to know what feelings you have. Making a list of your feelings can help. You can do this in your head or by writing them out on a piece of paper, or even by drawing pictures.
If you’re feeling sad, worried or upset, you’d better tell someone. If you keep such feelings locked inside, they can even make you feel sick! So if you talk with someone who cares about you, like your mom or dad, you will start to feel better. But what if you don’t want to talk with your mom or dad? Then find another trusted (可信赖的) adult. Maybe this person can help you talk with your mom and dad about your problem.
When you have known who you can talk with, you need to pick a time and a place to talk. If you think it’s hard to say what’s in your mind, write it down on a piece of paper. If the person doesn’t understand what you mean, try explaining it in a different way. Is there anything you think could be done to make things better? If so, say it.

【推荐1】Children and adults (成年人) don’t always agree with each other. They often have different ideas about living. But in a special group in London, children and adults live together in a friendly way.
Each summer, 200 children and 50 adults live together for eight weeks. Everyone works for a few hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy. They want to find enjoyment in work. Some children work in the forests or on the farms near the village and some learn to make things like tables and chairs. Adults teach them to do these things.
There are a few free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. When they aren’t busy, some of the children learn to take photos or draw and some sit around to talk or sing. All children choose their own ways to spend their free time.

Even though my job is the lowest, it makes me feel excited. I see it as a challenge(挑战) because it is my first job. I learn to be on time and try to do everything well. In return, I get respect(尊敬) from doctors, nurses and patients. Each morning I imagine that the dirty dishes will make patients sicker if I am not there to wash them clean. After breakfast, I start sweeping the floors of all patient rooms and cleaning toilets. Though I am tired, I want to do the job well. People say, "That young boy really does a good job." That gives me a pride.
Working in the hospital teaches me that being proud of one's job is important. It does not matter whether the job is sweeping floors or managing a large business.

【推荐1】“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other. But “How are you” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “ Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.
Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” The other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong…” But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I have to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse “Someone’s at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the rule of the game of language.

【推荐2】We’ve all had bad experiences with restaurants, stores or hotels. Maybe you’ve been to a restaurant that served terrible food. Perhaps you’ve been to a store that had high prices and bad service. Or maybe you’ve booked a hotel and found out later that the room was nothing like the advertisement（广告）.
These days, we have a better chance of stopping these unpleasant surprises. We can do this by using apps. An app is a computer program on a smartphone. You can use apps to do almost anything. App can help you play games, get directions, talk to friends, and so on.
If you want to find information about a store or a hotel, you can use a review app. Review apps help us evaluate（评价）service and products before we hand over our money. The idea is very simple. After you go to a restaurant or stay in a hotel, you can post a review with one of your apps. You can say anything you want. If you like a hotel that you stayed in, you can tell people that it was wonderful. If you think that the food in a certain restaurant was bad, then you can tell people not to eat there. Other people can use their app to read your reviews.
Plenty of people prefer not to use these review apps. Many of these people think that it’s a waste of time to look through websites and read reviews. These people prefer to go out and decide for themselves whether or not a service is good. However, review apps are getting more and more popular every day. Some apps are for exact services. For example, trip adviser gives attention to travel, and good reader pays attention to books. There are also other larger apps that provide information for just about every service that you can think of.

China’s live-streaming (直播) platforms have appeared as a new way for employers to meet future employees, as job applicants (申请者) go online to search for opportunities during COVID- 19 travel restrictions.
Liu Chao, 33 years old, finds “selling” jobs surprisingly easier than his former job as an e-commerce live-streamer. “After selling clothes through live-streaming for several months, I realized we can’t earn much money in a way, so I gave up,” Liu said. “By chance, I met another friend in the human resources industry and thought of an idea to hire (雇佣) through live-streaming.” Now Liu regularly live-streams himself to introduce job positions to his viewers. After offering details of a position, he puts up a website where job seekers can hand in their information to apply. “For example, if I’m introducing the company BYD, I will put up the company’s job application website and guide viewers to sign up when I talk.”
Big Tech firms including Kuaishou Technology and Byte Dance, owner of Tik Tok and its Chinese sibling Douyin also use the platform to hire staff, which is especially friendly to the blue-collar workers. A manager director from Kuaishou said their platform had a large number of blue-collar workers who changed jobs frequently. “We hope to use the advantages of the platform to bridge the gap between employers and workers.” He said.
Still, one difficulty is to make traditional companies to believe live-streaming recruitment (招聘). Those companies are used to the old ways to hire people. According to Zhang Chenggang, a professor at Capital University of Economics and Business, “Traditional labour service companies make use of the information gap between employers and applicants to serve their clients, but that is not the case with live-streaming recruitment.” he added, “For example, if I lied to you, I can also lie to other people because they don’t know you. But when you are live-streaming, everyone can enter the room. That means users can be sure that the live streamer provides true information.”
