6 . Starting high school can be difcult. Everyone is nervous and nobody knows where to go for classes. But don't worry，because you are not alone. You are going to school with a group of students of your age，and we have several tips（贴士） for you to follow.
Forget your fear and just talk to someone. It is easier said than done. But try to take a deep breath and find your voice. Don't be afraid to approach（接近） people. Introduce yourself and start a conversation about something in which you have the same interests. Sit in the middle of the classroom with as many new friends around you as possible.
Join clubs. Take part in after-school activities that interest you. Try to make friends in the clubs. Being in a club makes you more social. If you don't join any clubs，you will just go to class and then go home.
Stay clean. No one likes a bad smell that could knock someone over. Shower every day，brush your teeth and wash your hair. You're supposed to make yourself look clean and tidy ，whatever you wear.
Be respectful（ 尊重） of people's differences. Everyone has his or her own opinion of the world. And everyone believes in different things. It is a good thing to have different friends with different opinions because you can each share your own.

7 . A great way for teenagers to cool off during the summer is at water parks. If you live near a water park, you may think about getting a season pass. This way you can go as often as you like. Check to see if there are any water parks around you. The prices are usually low. For example, one ticket to Water World, a water park, is only $6. On Saturday and Sunday, just half of the price.
Some teenagers like to get a part time job during the summer to make some pocket money. Older teenagers don’t have much trouble finding jobs. You can walk dogs, bring in the newspapers, feed the cats, collect rubbish, water flowers, etc. Because it is summer, many people go on vacation and someone do look after their houses while they are away. You can also think about other jobs you can do for them.
Teenagers love freedom. So you would like to go to these places like the mall, movie theaters, the zoo, the beach, picnic, bowling and amusement park instead of staying at home all summer.

Yi Ke Yi Lian, or One Lesson. One Exercise, is a series of popular textbooks for primary and junior high schools in Shanghai. For about 20 years, this series has helped students to practice what they have learned in class. This summer, the math textbook series will be put to use in the UK, China Daily reported.
The British version has 11 volumes（册），as there are II grades from primary school lo high school in the UK. The publisher will cut out part of the content in the Chinese version to go with the curriculum setting（课程安排）there. They will also change some terms（术语）and background knowledge.

10 . Making good conversation with a stranger can be difficult. Here are some ways to try if you don’t know what to do Talk about a topic common to both of you. The topic can be the food or the weather. For example, “How do you like the food?” But keep it on the positive side! The first time you meet a person isn’t a good time to complain.
Ask open questions that can’t be answered with one word. “What’s keeping you busy these days?” is a good question if you are talking to a person who doesn’t have an office job.
Ask a follow-up (接下来的) question if you have asked a question that can be answered with one word. For example, if you ask, “Where are you from?”, an interesting follow-up question might be, “What would your life be like if you still lived there?”
Ask getting-to-know-you questions. You can ask, “What are your favourite newspapers and magazines? What websites do you often visit?” These questions often show a hidden interest, which can help you go on with a great conversation.
React (作出反应) to what a person is saying. If you are trying to make the conversation interesting, but the person never reacts, you will feel unhappy. So, if the person tells a joke, even if it’s not funny, try to laugh. And if he offers some surprising information, react with surprise.
