| A. Listening to music is great, but it is creative to make your own music. As you do it, you use your body and your mind at the same time. B. Only my friends know that I was very, very shy before I was a teenager. Even in high school, performing in front of crowds, I refused to use a microphone (麦克风) because I didn’t want to talk into it. I’d stay in the background while everybody was in front, singing. C. I think we should be thankful and kind. And having a passion (热情) in life is so important. When you find something you love doing and want to become better at it, remember these three things: 1. Study. 2. Practice. 3. Make healthy choices. D. My mom taught me to play the ukulele (一种四弦乐器) when I was four. I would play all the time. Sometimes my parents had to take it away from me so I would do homework or eat dinner! E. Relations between my parents became difficult when I was in the fifth grade. It was hard to deal with those feelings. Music was good for me because I could put my feelings into the music. You have to have a way to control your feelings. But the most important thing is to have someone you can talk to. |
A. Ask yourself whether you really value and use them. To help you decide, try an experiment. Notice what you use over a month’s time. At the end of the month, you might consider giving away what you didn’t use. Knowing that your things will bring happiness to someone else may help you let them go. B. Your mom may not realize how you feel. Ask her if there’s a time when you two can sit down to talk about something that’s on your mind. Also, you can start a daily “team” routine, like washing dishes together. Chores can be a great time to talk, sing, or tell jokes. C. You’re not alone. Adults disagree at times, just as kids do. They must solve their own disagreement. If you feel unhappy, focus on things that’ll help you feel calm. Do activities you enjoy, or write or draw to express how you feel. At a time when things are calm, tell your parents how you feel. D. Tell them how you’re feeling. Although they may not have all the answers right now. Give one another a little more space. During times of change, it’s natural for people to feel sad or upset more often than usual. Remember to be kind to yourself and to one another as your family decides how to move forward. E. What an exciting chance! Talk to your parents and sister about what they expect. Together, make a clear plan for the lessons. This will help you up for success. You could also consider using a piano book, which may help you plan each lesson. Finally, remember to be patient with your sister. |
