    It's hard to make friends if you stay at home all the time, so get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with(接触)other people. It's easier to make friends with them when you find you like the same things as other people.

Don't be afraid to show people what you're really good at. You can talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if they, hear something interesting about you.

    Look at people in your eyes when you talk to them. That way, they'll find it easier to talk to you, or people may think you're not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.

    Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about "me, me, me” You can ask people lots of questions and show that you are interested in their answers.

    Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like, respect(尊敬)and admire(羡慕). You shouldn't just make friends with those people you will meet them easily. Try to be friendly with all kinds of people. That way, you'll have a bigger group of people to choose from. Then you'll be easier to make friends with other people.

    How important is your appearance? Although everyone wants to be good-looking, are beautiful people always happier people? For example, it must be a problem to be a really beautiful woman, because some people may be more interested in looking at you than talking to you. They think of you as a picture rather than a person.

    Some people think that women who are exceptionally(格外地) pretty and men who are particularly handsome must be stupid. They believe that only unattractive(无魅力的) people can be intelligent(智慧的).

    On the other hand, no one wants to be really ugly, and have a face that even your mother doesn't want to look at; and no one wants to be plain, either--that is, to be neither attractive nor unattractive, and have a face that is easily forgotten. Being attractive is like being rich. It can help you find happiness, but it doesn't always make you happy.

    So maybe the best thing is not to worry too much about how you look, but simply try to be an interesting person. For interesting people have interesting faces, and interesting faces are almost always attractive.

Laura has {#blank#}1{#/blank#} problems. She doesn't know whether she is going to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} or {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Also she can't decide how to get to the party, by {#blank#}4{#/blank#} or by{#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

I am a Grade 9 student. I have {#blank#}1{#/blank#} problem, and I do not know how to deal {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it. I have a lot of homework every day, and I have no choice {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to do it. I often stay up late to complete my {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, and then feel tired the next day. Sometimes I want to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to do so much work, but usually I just accept it. I understand that {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is important to do my homework on time. However, I hardly have any {#blank#}7{#/blank#} time for my hobbies, such as playing volleyball and ping-pong. I really feel bad about that. I often doubt whether it is worth {#blank#}8{#/blank#} so hard.

I am {#blank#}9{#/blank#} forward to a holiday without homework so that I can relax and have some time for my hobbies. What should I do? Can you offer ni e some {#blank#}10{#/blank#}?
