One summer afternoon, after doing some shopping at a grocery store close to a forest reserve in Hawaii, Amanda Eller, a hiking lover, parked her car and went hiking by herself. With two bottles of water and a loaf of bread, she started a 3-mile hike.
However, it was not long after she stepped into the forest that she found she had left her phone in the car. Thinking that a 3-mile hike was a piece of cake for a trained hiker like her, Amanda did not hesitate to continue the trip and carefully left marks on the trees every 100 steps.
As she went deeper, rain fell heavily beyond expectation and the road became muddy soon. Without an umbrella, she had to hide under a big rock and waited for the downpour to stop. Half an hour later, the rain eased off but the sky darkened. Her heart began racing since she could not see the marks on the trees clearly. In the forest, Amanda wanted to go back along the way she had come but her feeling was leading her another way. She knew that she had very strong intuition (直觉) and heard the inner voice saying, If you want to live, keep going.” She chose to believe her intuition and took the only way to go.
Amanda’s mother,Julia, did not see her that night and her phone was also not answered, so she called Amanda’s close friends and asked if they had seen her. After making sure that Amanda did not return from the forest, Julia called 911 and reported her missing. Two days passed, and rescuers found nothing. Julia was sad, saying that this was the most desperate and the worst thing for a mother but she wanted to stay positive as she felt that she would be of no help to her daughter if she only thought about the worst possibilities. And local TV stations and newspapers called on people to work together to find Amanda.

3 . Improve Your Relationships
Having stable and positive relationships in your life can make you happier and more fulfilled. Whether it's your friends, family, or significant other, improving a relationship can sometimes be confusing.
Express your appreciation for the person.
If you hardly see each other or talk to each other, it can be difficult to maintain a relationship. Take extra time out of your day and devote it to the person that you want to improve relations with. Try to work around the other person's schedule so that you can spend the time together. You can share a meal, watch a show, listen to music, or go shopping with them.
Turn off distractions.
Distractions like a cell phone, social media, or video games can create a division in between you and another person. If you notice that you are always distracted, you should turn off your cell phone or computer and talk to them.
Seek therapy(心理治疗) if you can't get along.
To fix or improve family relationships or relationships with your significant other, you can turn to therapy. If you notice that you and the person are always arguing over the same kinds of things, and nothing has worked, you should consider seeking therapy with them.

4 . Tips for Submitting a Good Letter of Recommendation
If you consider applying for any colleges abroad, one of the most important parts is the recommendation letter. Its purpose is to give universities a complete picture of you.
But a credible (可信的) reference saying you’ve consistently worked hard on a project can be the difference between getting accepted or rejected.
Choose the right references
Universities want to know how well you work under pressure and how you react to criticism, basically your characteristics, abilities and mentality. A good referee (推荐人) should have a solid professional relationship with you and be able to communicate your academic and personal strengths.
Most universities ask for two recommendation letters. They are regularly split between a school professor and an extracurricular (课外的) source. Undoubtedly, it’s good to show your skills in the subject you want to study.
Time
Professionals can sometimes find it hard to make time for writing recommendations.
Clear goals
Don’t be afraid to ask your referees to include certain qualities or examples you want to highlight. You should inform at least one of your referees about your career goals, grades and recent projects. They may not be referenced. But giving referees additional evidence to back up their points can make the letter more convincing.
A.Make sure to know more about your university. |
B.You can write that you’re hard-working yourself. |
C.They can be quite occupied during application season. |
D.The more information you include, the better it may be. |
E.Don’t forget to check each university’s guidelines for reference letters. |
F.Examples of how you have demonstrated them are needed to add more credibility. |
G.But other abilities that may not be apparent in the classroom can be equally valuable. |
