Everyone has different1at different times.
I still remember my first English speech competition (演讲比赛). One day, my English teacher asked me to join in 2English speech competition. I agreed, but I felt 3 and even afraid at that time. People always have such feelings, especially when they do 4 for the first time. Before the competition, I spent the most of my free time 5 for 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 remember 6 I would say. I even wanted to cry for help. When I put my hand into my pocket, I touched a note (便条). It said, "Don't be nervous. Relax and believe in yourself." It was a note 7 my English teacher. After seeing it, I felt much 8. 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 (自信). Luckily, I 9 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 10the good news with my parents. I tried my best and I also learned that nothing comes easily and practice makes perfect.
How to improve your relationship with your parents? Sometimes you may feel that it is impossible to get along with your parents. However, they are probably your best teachers in 1. If you find that you and your parents can't get on well, try to understand 2 better. Spend time with your parents. Your parents won't always be around, 3 spend time with them when you are able to. This doesn't mean just 4 in front of the TV together. Instead, find activities to do together. By doing this, you can 5 more about each other.
6 your parents. To understand your parents better, you have to spend time having a conversation with them. Use this time to learn about their 7 hobbies and opinions. For example, you can 8 them to tell you about their own childhood, or about their jobs. Listen to them carefully. This may seem easy, but it is often 9 than you think. When you are communicating with your 10, make sure you are listening. This means looking at their eyes when they are talking, and speaking 11when responding (回应). If you're not sure12 they meant, try to ask them to repeat.
Make your parents feel proud(骄傲的). There are many, many 13 that you can move your parents such as getting good marks in exams and sharing the housework. Try your best, and you will show them that you are becoming more 14, and that they can begin to discuss everything 15you.
Follow these ways, and you'll get on with each other better.

Some students have fun with their school life. But most students are unhappy. They have lots of pressure from their family. Most of them must study hard at school to please their parents. So it's tiring and boring for most students.
Most students try their best at school, but sometimes they may fail the exams and make their parents and teachers unhappy. The students may have more pressure from both their family and the school. So they finally get weary of their schoolwork. Day by day, they find it hard to get good grades and lose interest and confidence in their studies gradually.
It is surprising that many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and it is the teachers' work to help their children. To make the matter worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evenings or on weekends. But it helps only a little with children's grades, because the children are too tired to keep everything in mind. These parents never care about their children's development. For example, many school students say they don't know how to get on well with and how to take care of others. That's bad for kids' mind and body.
In China, many schools usually own their strict rules for students' hair cuttings and clothes. Students in China live under great pressure both at school and at home.

I don't know how to choose my clothes, but I really want to look beautiful. I'm very upset. My parents fight a lot, and I really don't like it. Relations between them have become difficult. I don't know what to do. I hate my school rules! I just want to wear my own clothes. I don't know how to talk about my feeling with my teachers. My parents are too strict with me. They want me to stay at home and they don't allow me to play with my friends after school. I always feel tired in class. I think I always stay up too late at night, but I just want to finish my homework |
A. Your parents love you very much. They just want you to study harder at home. If you really want to go out with your friends, you can talk with them after doing your homework. I think your parents will let you do that. B. You should be happy if your friends wear like you. It means that your clothes are beautiful. If you really don't like it, you can just talk about it with them. C. I think you should try your best to do your homework faster. Maybe you can ask your teachers for help. Go to bed earlier so that you can have enough time for sleep. D. Why don't you talk about how you feel with your parents? Maybe you can do more chores at home so that they have more time for communication. E. Every school has rules because it's very necessary. I know that you want to choose your own clothes. But in my opinion, as students, school uniforms are the best clothes for you. F. In my opinion, you can choose the clothes that are comfortable. In fact, clothes are not everything in your life. You can work harder at your study. Don't think too much about the clothes. G. You should exercise more to lose weight. I'm sure you will be thinner if you don't give up. |

The meaning of the word "volunteer" may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means one who offers his or her services. There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up rubbish from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are usually people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate(幸运的) than themselves. Volunteers don't expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in Calcutta.
"I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don't think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world."
