Lots of kids hate school, a new study found. Usually this kind of feeling doesn't last long, but what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a part of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let's talk about school and what to do when you don't like it.
If you don't like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don't have enough friends, or maybe you don't get along with your teacher. Sometimes there is a big problem with your schoolwork. Then you may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem that you'll never catch up.
When you know why you don't like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It's a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mum, dad, teacher or school counselor(顾问) will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It's a great way to let out emotions(情绪). Remember, you don't have to share what you've written with others.

Honey is produced by bees (蜜蜂). But today's beekeeping business is not good for these hard-working insects. Bee farmers may kill them after harvesting honey because it's cheaper than feeding the bees through the winter. To save bees, US company MeliBio has found a way to make the world's first bee-free honey. They used synthetic biology (合成生物学) to create honey directly from plants.
____ When you feel angry or unhappy, what do you do about it? Scientists say you can try to calm yourself. This can help you calm down. That's why Purrble was invented. This furry (毛茸茸的) bear--like toy has9 sensors (感应器). It has a quick "heartbeat" and can respond to your touch. As you hold and pet it, its heartbeat slows. And it purrs (发出咕噜声) like a cat. It sounds like it really enjoys your touch! Through petting Purrble, you will easily notice your own feelings and learn to calm yourselves. |
