Most students have some problems when they are in junior high schools. Some students worry a lot because their parents want them to be the best. Others don't on well with people such as their parents and classmates.
Jim, a student in a junior high school from Fujian, can't what his English teacher says, so he can't do well in English. He even others' help.
Another student, 14 years old, from Guangzhou, is of exams. She is very sad. When she looks at the exam paper, she can't think of to write.
Many students don't like asking for help. Some think it will be a if they go to ask teachers or classmates. Others don't want to talk about their to anyone.
An expert has the following for teenagers:
▲ with your parents or teachers often.
▲Take part in group and play sports.
Rich or poor, young or old, we all have problems. We can easily become unhappy1 we solve our problems.2about our problems can affect how we do things at school or at home. So how do we deal with our problems?
Most of us have probably been angry3our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didn't like, or you felt they were unfair. Sometimes, people can stay angry for years about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendships may4.
When we are angry, however, we are usually the ones affected. Have you ever seen young children playing together? But they fight very soon, and decide not to talk to each other. However, this usually doesn't5for long. They become good friends again. This is an important 6 for us, we can solve a problem by learning to forget.
Many students often complain about school. They might feel they have too much work to do sometimes, or think the rules are too7. We must learn how to change these "problems" into "challenges(挑战)". As young adults, it is our duty to8our best to deal with each challenge with the help of our teachers.
By comparing yourself to other people, you will find your problems are not so9, Think about Stephen Hawking, for example, a very clever scientist. He can't walk or even speak, but he considers his many physical problems unimportant. Now he is known10a great scientist in the world. We are probably quite healthy and smart. Let's not worry about our problems. Let's face the challenges instead.
The mobile phone has become a problem for middle schools. Some middle schools in Australia have banned students from carrying phones during school hours.
The use of mobile phones among children has become a problem for the school this year. Several children have got mobile phones as Christmas gifts, and more students want them. Mary Bluett, an official, said the use of mobile phones is a distraction to students during school hours and it also gives teachers so much trouble in their classrooms. Teachers said that sometimes students might use phone messages to cheat during exams.
She said some schools had tried to ban mobile phones. Some parents felt unhappy because they couldn't get in touch with their children.
Many teachers said students should not have mobile phones at school, but if there was a good reason, they could leave their phones at the school office. They also said there were many reasons why the students should not have mobile phones at school: they were easy to lose and were a distraction to students.
Many people say they understand why parents would want their children to have phones, but they think schools should let the students know when they can use their mobile phones.
It was another day to jump rope in gym class. Lynn and Mike turned the long rope in big slow circles. The whole class hurried to get in line to wait for their turn to jump. Millie stood at the back of the line and frowned.
Nick went first. He watched the rope and ran in at just the right time. Everyone counted, He made it all the way to 30 jumps. One after another, the kids watched the rope, ran in, and jumped. Then it was Millie's turn. She watched the rope go around and around, but she didn't move. She felt like everyone was looking at her.
Millie's friends cheered, "Go, Millie, go!"
Millie's face turned red. At last, she gave it a try, but she failed,
The truth was that Millie had been jumping rope at home every day. With a short rope, she could jump 100 times without missing. She just didn't know how to run in and start jumping with a long rope. Since she was the only kid on her street, there was no one to help turn the long rope.
Just then, Ms Miles, the gym teacher, brought out a bunch of short jump ropes.
"Let's see how long each one of you can jump without missing," she said as she gave each student a short rope. "Ready, set. Go!" Millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class. As she jumped, she sang rhymes quietly to herself.
After a while, Millie realised that everyone was cheering. "Go, Millie, go!"
She was the only one still jumping rope! The surprise almost made her miss a step, but she kept going. When at last she was too tired to go on, she stopped. The class cheered. Everyone was looking at her and smiling. Millie smiled back!
Dear Abby,
I'm a helpless mother. My son Tom is 15 years old. I find that the older he grows, the less we talk. I feel very sad and I really need help.
My first problem is about his hobbies. He spends almost all his spare time on computer games. When he gets home, he always turns on the computer and closes the door. I'm getting worried about him, especially when his English teacher tells me he always gets low marks in the English exams.
Second, he likes new technology, but I don't have enough money and I can't afford all the things he wants.
Recently, I've found that he is always alone. I've never seen him talking to his friends on the phone or going out with anyone at weekends. That is the last problem I have.
What should I do to help him? Please give me some advice.
A helpless mother
Once there lived a very exactman. One day when he was walking in the street, an old woman came over andasked him, "Excuse me, but where's thenearest restaurant?"
"The nearest restaurant? Youhave to cross a bridge and then turn to the right," answered the man.
"Andis the bridge long?"
"Very,thirty metres."
The old woman thanked him andwent towards the bridge, Suddenly she heard someone running after her. "Stop!" the man was shouting. "I'mvery sorry. I just remembered the bridge is forty metres long. If you go thirtymetres and then turn to the right, as I told you to do, you will fall into theriver.
