    As a matter of fact, Lindsay is suffering {#blank#}7{#/blank#}clinical depression(临床抑郁症). What is clinical depression? It can be described as a mood which is so low that affects your everyday life{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(serious). The first sighs of it in teens are {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(poor) school reports than before, then learning difficulties and staying away from classmates and teachers. If you have these signs, don't worry. It is not so difficult to deal with clinical depression. There are many effective ways, such as medicine,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (express) of feelings, more exercise and a balanced diet.

    I will never forget the day when I went to a coming- of - age ceremony. Last month, an unforgettable adult ceremony {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (hold) for all the senior 3 students in our school. It began at half past two in the afternoon. Decorated by colorful flowers and balloons, the stadium looked {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (amaze) beautiful. All of us students were dressed {#blank#}3{#/blank#}school uniforms with red ribbons on our wrists, showing the energy of youth. We walked into the stadium in high spirits, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (accompany) by our parents. Our principal delivered {#blank#}5{#/blank#} inspiring speech at first, and we received {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (congratulate) from our teachers. During the ceremony, we expressed our heart-felt gratitude to our parents by {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(bow) to them. I was moved to tears when I got a photo album from my parents, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} reminded me of my happy childhood. In the end, we raised {#blank#}9{#/blank#} right hands and made a serious promise to become reliable and honest citizens.

    As far as I 'm concerned, the ceremony indicates that we should take on more responsibilities to be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (independence) and get away from the shelter of our family.
