A. Everyone gets worried sometimes. Take a deep breath while taking a test. It usually helps a lot. You should practice more so that you can work out different kinds of math problems. B. Make a plan to use your money. Don't spend too much in shopping online. You can do some jobs in your free time to make some money, too. Stop asking your parents for it. C. You should call and say sorry to your best friend. Fight cannot solve any problems. Try to have a talk with him, and find out a right way to get on with each other. D. Think about everything carefully. Have you done anything wrong? If not, have a talk with your teacher. I am sure you will get on well with each other soon. E. You must be sad! Write down your feelings about your cat on your diary so that you won't feel lonely. Spend more time with your friends and family. Everything will be OK. F. Don't worry too much about it. When you are 14 or 15, your voice will get lower and people won't mistake you again. G. Being alone at home might be interesting, too. Play games with your brother or do something you like. You will find it funny to stay at home. |
English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word "tomato" was borrowed from Mexico, and “tea” came from China and so on. Now new words are formed by joining two words together. "weekend" and "cookbook" are made up of two parts. A latest one "brunch" comes from breakfast and lunch. Do you have brunch every day? Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. For example, the word "photo" was made from "photograph" by cutting off the end of the longer word. "Plane" and "phone" were made by cutting off the front part of "aeroplane" and "telephone". The names of people and products can also become new words. Our "sandwich" was named after a man called Sandwich who invented it and "cello" was a name given by the company that first made the product.
Can you find more examples for each of these ways to make new words?

True friends are rare to make these days. Even if you believe you've connected with someone, how do you really know he is a true friend? And often you will find that someone who you thought you could trust may disappoint you. There are ways you can know if a friendship is true and how you can hold onto that friend.
A true friend is someone who will be there for you no matter what happens. Through good times and bad times, they will stand by you. They will accept you for who you are without trying to change you, and they will be there to help you grow in new ways.
Trust is another important aspect. A true friend will keep your secrets. You can depend on them. They will listen and be someone you know you can talk things over with, even if they may not have advice to share with you.
Friendship is a two-way street. To find true friends and keep them, you must in turn be the same as well. Be there for them in their hard times and share the good times with them. Be someone your friends can depend on and offer them the same things they give to you. A friendship will fall apart fast if only one person is giving and putting all the effort in. To keep a true friendship, you must be honest.
There will be barriers in the road but that is the test of true friendship. If it can survive those barriers, it will be stronger and last forever. St Thomas Aquinas said, “There is nothing on this earth more prized than friendship” and it holds true.
