Do you feel guilty(内疚的) for something you did? Maybe you made a mistake that hurt someone. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Either way, the simple words "I'm sorry" can help you and others feel better. It's not always easy to admit(承认) what you did is wrong. But you can't learn from your mistakes without admitting them.

Apologizing(道歉) is an important part of personal growth. When you apologize, the other person knows that you understand his feelings. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} But in fact, it shows that you are strong enough to put others before yourself. After apologizing, you may become closer to your friend than before.

But even after you decided to apologize, you may not be sure how to do it. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

①Show that you feel guilty and understand how the other person feels. For example, you could say, "{#blank#}4{#/blank#} I feel terrible for talking to you like that."

②Don't keep doing what you apologized for.

③Don't put off(推迟) making an apology.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

Apologies can be hard, but they are necessary for healthy relationships.

We have learned English for several years, so we can read English books and magazines without the teachers' help. We feel good when we finish 1 an English story or a whole book 2 ourselves. But3 can we be a better reader?

It is important 4 some suitable books. Then what books are suitable? Well, I think we should first choose books that are not too difficult or too 5 . Then when we are reading, we should 6 let new words take too much of our attention. Just do as we often do in our own language. While we are reading, try to 7 the meanings of the new words, and try to decide which of the key words we could guess and which we have to 8 in the dictionary.

If we follow these 9 , we will be10 in reading English books and magazines.

Here are two nice photos of my friend. In the first one is my good friend, Gina Smith. And she's 14 years old. She comes from England, but now she lives in China. Gina is a nice and beautiful girl. She likes sports very much. Her favorite sport is tennis. She doesn't like basketball.

Gina can speak English, Chinese and a little French. We are in the same class, so she often helps me with English. Her favorite subject is music because she thinks it's really interesting!

Her big family are in the next photo. Her father Jack is a driver and her mother Mary works in a clinic(诊所) as a nurse. She has a sister and a brother, Jenny and Jackson. They are not in our school, but we are also good friends. They live a happy life in China.

Many successful people follow a similar routine(常规）. This helps them make the best use of their days. This also helps sleep well at night. One of the most important things successful people do is to get ready for the next day the night before. Let's see{#blank#}1{#/blank#}they do that.

Learn to relax

Put the phone down

Studies show that the blue light from a phone is bad for our sleep. Successful people c{#blank#}3{#/blank#}their phone use. They don't sleep with their phones nearby. They put phones away an hour{#blank#}4{#/blank#}bedtime and they use an alarm clock to wake up.

Think about today
