Different Stresses As a Teenager

    As a teenager, there are so many stresses in your life and so many things are changing . For example, your body is changing. When you observe yourself changing, you may not always be happy with what you see. Remember that everyone goes through these changes. Be proud of your body because it's bringing you closer to being an adult.

    Another difficulty that a teenager faces is how to deal with social groups. You want to fit in but sometimes it's difficult to break into certain groups. In this case, you can speak to members of the group individually(分别地)and if they accept you, great; if not, leave it alone. If you try too hard to get into a group, they'll be more likely to refuse you more, for fun. What's more, it's better to stay with those who like the way you are.

    Teenagers may also have stresses in school. Teachers are going to prepare you for the outside world, which means you'll have more schoolwork. At this time, you'd better take a step back and relax. After all, they just want you to succeed. In the real world, no one will tell you what to do, so take your time and make good use of it. If you have any problems, you can share them with your teacher.

    Besides all the requirements at school, you may have more at home. If your parents have high expectations for you, you may feel stress from different areas. But remember they just want the best for you. If your parents aren't interested in how your study is or who your friends are, you can find another adult like a teacher to believe in. If you get support from people you trust, your hard times will be over.

    Mistakes are great teachers. Success comes to those who are willing to risk making mistakes to achieve their goals and wishes, and who are able to learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes , you must be willing to pay for them .

    Mistakes can be very valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you lose the chance to learn from them. When something goes wrong, it's usually very easy to find someone else's mistakes, but is that useful?

    Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they need a cost that must be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the one who pays the price for that mistake.

    When you make a mistake, what you shouldn't do is to run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow that much stronger.

    When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Remember the causes , and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The present is still in your power. Make full use of your mistakes to achieve your goals and wishes.

    My hobby is playing chess — one of the greatest games in the world. My mum taught me how to play when I was seven years old. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} But then, on my eighth birthday, I won for the first time. I nearly always beat her now.

    To learn the rules doesn't take long. One day is enough. But if you want to be good, you have to practice for years. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} — just a chess set and someone to play with. Chess sets can be very cheap, or quite expensive. Some people collect chess sets as a hobby, but I enjoy playing.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} We meet on Wednesday every week to practice. I am the best player in the club, and the captain（队长）of the school chess team. This year we won the All England Schools Championship (冠军赛).

    I'm saving up my money to buy a chess computer. They are very expensive, but also very good for practice. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I'm sure I will be a world chess champion some day.

    When my friend first arrived in Australia, he saw an old man selling some cheap goods(商品) in the street of Sydney. The old man was one of the poor people in Sydney and in fact there was no difference between them and beggars(乞丐). Most of them were some lonely old people. My friend was a kind hearted man, so he quickly gave some money to him. The old man asked him to pick some goods from him. My friend had no interest in those goods, so he left without choosing. But the old man followed him all the way.

    At first, my friend didn't think a lot, just thinking he would go home. But then when he went very far and saw the old man still following him, he was a little angry, thinking the old man must feel he was kind and wanted more money. My friend turned back and told him with sign language(手语) not to follow him because he didn't have much money.

    But the old man seemed not to understand, speaking something unknown and still following him. My friend happened to meet his Australian friend in the street. Hearing his story, his friend turned to ask why the old man was following his friend. The old man was out of breath, "My son, you gave me money, but you didn't want my things, so I have to give you something. I see you are a foreigner, likely not familiar(熟悉) with our city. I just want to follow you and show you the way. All I can do for you is this..."My friend was surprised. He said he didn't know why, but he felt the old man was just like his father, nice and warm.
