1 . Everyone worries. But how do you deal with (处理) your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these steps (步骤) :
Try to find out what you’re worried about
Sometimes, you will know what you’re worried about. Other times, you might not. Try to find it out first; if you can’t, you can ask for help.
Think of ways to make it better
There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problem.
Grades at school are often top worries for kids. If you’re worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:
* Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?
* How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn’t a test?
* Do I have a good place to do my homework?
* Have I tried different ways of studying?
If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do: write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of these things and choose one of them, you can get your friend back.
Ask for help
When you’re worried, it can help to find someone to talk to. You can ask your parents, friends, or teachers for help.

2 . While most Singaporeans can speak both English and Chinese, very few are good at both languages. In fact, most parents speak English as their first language, so their Chinese is getting weak and they face difficulties when it comes to teaching their children Chinese.
If you’ re a parent struggling to keep up with Chinese teaching in school, you are not alone. We spoke to some Singaporean parents about the challenges they face when teaching their children Chinese, as well as how they got their young ones to understand the importance of the language.
Emily, 37, says that it has been a bit of a challenge teaching Chinese to her two children as her husband and she don’t speak much Chinese at home. She says that this is the main reason why her two children, who are seven and four, are not confident of the language. Despite (尽管) this, Emily encourages her children to speak Chinese in school whenever possible so that they can practice. “People in Singapore speak many languages, and to be able to communicate with all of them, my children need to master different languages.”
She also tries to make Chinese learning fun for her children by telling them stories of certain Chinese words. Because her family is mostly English speaking, she is worried that her children may not be able to keep up with Chinese teaching in school.
Given that the Chinese language looks to be very important in the future, Emily also says that she may consider sending her children to a Chinese school on Sundays or online learning platform (平台) .

6 . Did you know that vocabulary is more important than grammar? If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if the grammar is not completely perfect.
However, one common problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you? The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not work if you don’t have a very good memory.
The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully is to learn new words and use them at once. You can do this with a very simple exercise. Every time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than just reading a definition (释义). You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create.
Imagine you just learn the word “generous”, write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), definition—giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner, you’re very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It’s best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connect ion with the new word. The next day, read your vocabulary note book again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it: These two simple steps—writing the word and using it at once—help you remember and use new words.
Do you have a vocabulary notebook? If not, start now.

①Make your own example sentence.
②Write the word, its English definition or translation.
③Copy an example sentence from the article or dictionary.
④Read your notebook again and add one more example sentence.
| A．②③①④ | B．②③④① | C．③②①④ |
| A．By connecting them with our life. |
| B．By adding words from the article. |
| C．By explaining words’ definitions. |

7 . It is important for us to smile in our daily life.
A smile is a symbol of being polite. When you meet your teachers, your classmates or friends, you should smile to them and say hello. When you get help from others, you need to smile and say thank you. If you are polite and smile to others, they will be friendly to you.
A smile is a symbol of happiness. When you win the prize of the competitions, you smile. When you get together with your family, you smile. When you get the presents from your friends, you smile too. The feeling of happiness makes you smile on your face, just like you have tasted the sweetness of the honey.
A smile is a symbol of courage (勇气). When you fail in the exam, you feel sad, but you smile and make up your mind to do it well next time instead of crying. When you fall off the bike, you stand up at once, smile and try it again. When you meet trouble in your life, you smile and never give up.
Smile is priceless. You can not buy it from others.You can not sell it to others, either. Remember to keep smiling every day, so that you will have a better life.
