Working on a team is a good thing, but sometimes it can bring you some trouble. To create a successful team, good communication is the most necessary thing for both team members and leaders. Here are some helpful suggestions.

Think about other people’s ideas carefully. When someone tells you about his ideas, you should think about them carefully, no matter how silly they may seem. This shows you are interested in his ideas, and it will make him feel good. |
Listen to other people actively. When someone is speaking to you, you need to listen to him actively. If you’re unclear about something, you should ask him about it. By doing this can clear up your confusion (困惑) before moving on. |
Share your ideas with other people. When you have a new idea, talk about it with team members. This helps to improve the idea. Besides, it also helps to improve relationships with your team members. |

Teachers want to get along with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have a clash (冲突). This can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. Take these steps if the problem seems difficult to solve.
★Talk to an adult you trust.
★Give it time. You may not feel comfortable at once with your teachers, but that may change as you get to know each other.
★If necessary, talk with your parents about what to do next. Lots of times, a meeting can be set up to discuss the problem. This may clear the air and make things better. Everyone’s goal should be to create trust and kindness.
Your relationship with your teachers is often your first chance to develop a “business relationship”. It is different from your family relationship and friendship, which are built on love. In a business relationship, both parties get something out of the relationship. But they don’t necessarily need to be good friends, like each other or understand each other well. They simply need to respect each other and be polite.
When you act this way, and remember that you’re not the only kid in the class, you are helping your teacher. Your teacher will notice this. Teachers also like it when students follow directions and when they learn and obey the rules of the classroom. For example, these may be rules about listening when another student is talking, about taking turns, or about raising your hand when you want to say something or ask a question.

| Dear Jordon, I don’t know how to chat (聊天) with my classmates because we do not share the same interests. We don’t have anything to talk about. I am very lonely. What should I do? Jenny |
| Dear Jenny, To make friends, you must first be friendly. Everyone likes a friendly girl with a smile. You can give your classmates a compliment (称赞). Say something nice about their dressing styles or skills. Second, ask a question to start chatting. Find out what interests them and talk about that, even if it doesn’t interest you a lot. Ask your classmates questions and let them be the experts. The conversation is more important than the topic. Finally, talk to more people. Say hello to the people you meet. Sit with different groups of people in the dining hall. If one person doesn’t want to talk with you, find someone else to chat with. Don’t just think about being lonely. Do something about it!

Letters Alive invites famous actors and actresses, but there are no funny jokes or competitions. It’s just one person walking up to a microphone(麦克风) and reading a letter. The letters were written by people from different times in history. For example, in one period, they read a letter written by famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941. The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.

【推荐3】Fifty-three years ago Barbie Millicent Roberts first appeared in the world of toys. Since then, Barbie doll, as everyone called her, has become the most successful toy doll in history. Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.
However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present(现在). There are many similar dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life thirteen years ago. She looks more like today’s pop stars with heavy makeup(浓妆) and miniskirts. And her company offers more kinds of clothes too.
It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls. “For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much fun. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern,” says Vera Shepherd, a shop assistant in a New York toy store.
It is good news that on the international market, Barbie is still No.1. Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. In January 2009, Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even become fashion designers for their own Barbies.
Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie’s 53rd birthday. Fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new dresses for Barbie. How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls? It is hard to say, but 53 is surely not the age to retire(退休).

【推荐1】No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the good impression (印象) from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place.
