Nearly all of us have an unpleasant habit, whether we realize it or not, and we want to get rid of it but didn’t know the proper ways. Here’s some advice on how to get rid of bad habits.
◆Make a list.
Write down all the reasons why you want to stop a certain behavior—how it’s hurting you and why getting rid of it. Look at that list often. That will be helpful.
◆Join other activities.
It’s wise of you to do something else when you want to stop your bad habits. If you get angry easily, for example, you can practice deep breathing or go for a walk.
◆Give yourself a reward.
Before you get rid of a bad habit, decide what you’ll do to celebrate it if you achieve your goal.
◆Keep off bad habits.
If you are fat and want to lose weight, keep junk food out of your house. If you are a heavy smoker, keep away from smoky bars or friends who like smoking.
◆Be patient.
Bad habits develop over years, so you probably won’t be able to get rid of them quickly. In fact, people often give up several times before being successful, so you should be patient.
◆Find support.
Don’t be afraid to ask for support from friends, family or other people who have the same bad habits as you. When you talk to others, they might be able to give you some advice or encouragement that you normally wouldn’t get from yourself.

Make rules for Internet use with your parents. For example, when you can go online, for how long and what activities you can go online. Don’t give your password (密码) to anyone else, and never give out the following information-your real name, home address, age, phone number or other personal information. Check with your parents before giving out a credit card (信用卡) number. Never send a photo of yourself to someone in e-mail unless your parents say it’s OK.

I have got your letter. I know that you want to have your own club, but you don’t know how to start one. Do you know what makes a club, such as an English Club or a Basketball Club, successful? Here is some advice.
Decide what kind of club to have, and come up with a nice name. Since you are interested in music, why not start a Music Club? A club is to bring people with common interests together.
Look for members. You can start with your friends, but it isn’t really a club until people you don’t know want to join.
Make rules. Get together with the members and agree on rules. Make sure that if someone breaks any rule, he or she should be punished.
Have regular meetings. For the first time, you should make sure that all the members attend.
I hope that these ideas may help you and that you can have your own club soon.
Yours,
Mrs Smith
