Everyone has different1at different times. I still remember my first English speech competition. One day, my English teacher asked me to join in2English speech competition. I agreed,3I felt worried and even afraid at that time. People always have such feelings, especially when they do4for the first time. Before the competition, I spent most of my free time5for it. I felt very tired every day.
The great day finally came. I was the third to make the speech. I felt very nervous and I couldn't remember6I would say. I even wanted to cry for help. When I put my hand into my pocket, I touched a note. It said," Don't be nervous. Relax and believe in yourself. "It was a note7my English teacher. After seeing it, I felt much8.
A few minutes later, my turn came. I wasn't nervous when I began to make my speech. And I finished my speech with great confidence. Luckily, I9 the competition in the end. I even couldn't believe my ears when I heard the good news. I felt very happy. I couldn't wait 10 the good news with my parents. I tried my best and I also learned that nothing comes easily and practice makes perfect.
Everyone needs friends. We all like to 1 close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. 2, sometimes we need to be alone. We don't always want people 3. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are 4. Friends sometimes don't get on well. That doesn't mean 5they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make peace with each other, and become 6 again.
Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very 7. We miss them very much, but we can 8 them and write to them. It could be possible that we could even see them again. And we can also 9 new friends.
There's more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don't have. Why? It could be that they are 10. Being happy helps you stay well and it could be good just knowing that someone cares about you.

Since the World Mental Health Day (世界精神卫生日) started on October 10th, 1992, more people have begun to pay attention to their mental health. So the mental health day is becoming more popular.
What is a mental health day?
"In addition to the World Mental Health Day, it's important for people to take regular (定期的) mental health days for themselves," says Doctor David A. Merrill. "The mental health day is a way to give yourself a break and pay attention to your mental health. It can be any day. "
__________________________________
"Mental health days are important for people of all ages and can be done differently," says Cheryl Rode. "You can go for a trip outdoors, make your favourite meal, turn down your computer, or do some exercise. No matter what you choose to relax, the key is to do it often. "
What will you get from a mental health day?
First of all, it can help you stay healthy. When you are taking a mental health day, you have time to focus on what your body really needs. You will eat slowly and healthily. Secondly, you can sleep better. One of the first signs (症状) of poor mental health is poor sleep. What you should do is have a relaxing day and drink a glass of warm milk before sleeping. More importantly, you'll have a better relationship with others.
Let's have a mental health day right now!

I'm Cathy. I just returned homeVietnam(越南). This summer I volunteered in an orphanage (孤儿院). There were about 220 children. I for babies and some younger children.
I liked helping in the baby rooms. Those babies were so small and lovely. At first I felt sad to see those babies they didn't have a home. But after I saw that many people take good care of them, I felt better. One of the was very special. She was only three months old and she was weak. She laughed as soon as she saw me.
I was also fond of looking after younger children They were lovely, too. They liked to play withand wanted more attention. I saw a five-year-old girl on the first day. She had nobody to talk or play with and lonely. I tried to cheer her up and encourage her to other children in different activities. By the end of my time there she had made some and looked happier than before.
I loved to see the happy looks all children's faces and I loved every minute there. All the children were when I left, but I thought I was much sadder. I told them I would visit them every summer.

Few of us enjoy doing housework, but it still has to be done in order to keep the best living environment. Although, we usually think parents should do all the housework, some studies suggest that children, too, should do as much housework as they can. Housework teaches children life skills (技能) Children will grow up and leave home one day, so they need to learn many life skills such as how to wash clothes, cook and clean the house. Schools normally don't teach these things, so learning to do housework from home is even more important. Housework helps children learn responsibility "Do your own tasks yourself" is something that many parents like to tell their kids, which is good. In fact, parents teach their kids by letting them finish their own little tasks. At the same time, children will be very proud of being able to take care of themselves. Housework helps children learn respect We usually won't understand how much our parents have done until we live on our own. When children are left at home alone, they get to know how hard their parents work by sharing some of the housework. The more children know about the difficulties of housework, the more they will respect their parents, who keep the house clean and tidy every day. |
