Do you want to feel happy and know how great you are? Here are five ways to make you feel good about yourself.

    Encourage yourself. Look in the mirror and say to yourself, “I am a special person and there's no one in the world like me. I can do anything.” It may not sound so good, but it really works!

    Help others. Do something nice for someone who always makes you feel good.

    Smile! Be friendly to people you meet. No one can refuse(拒绝) a big smile. Look for the good things in your friends and family.

     Learn something new! New things may be great challenges(挑战), but when you fall in love with them or get some progress, you'll be very happy.

    Stay with your family. We all need our family time. Talk with your mom and dad or maybe even your cousin. This can make you feel warm and give you confidence to get on well with others.

    Susan is 14 years old and she is an American girl. She is one of my best friends. She is interested in Chinese and good at it. Every summer she travels with her parents. She believes（相信） that traveling is an important part in her life. She likes London best because it is both clean and beautiful. She knows that China is a large country with lots of interesting places. This July, her family are coming to China. I am very happy to know that they will first come to my city. They will stay here for three days. I will take them to visit the city. Then they will fly to Beijing. I am sure they will have a nice time in China.

If you receive an e-mail that looks something like this:

    ARE YOU GOING TO CLASS TODAY? How does reading this message make you feel? Why did the sender use all capital letters(大写字母)? Was he or she angry, or did that person just forget to turn off the 'Cap Lock' on the computer? The fact is, this e-mail is usually the way that people shout online. Knowing when and when not to use capital letters is just one example of online etiquette(礼仪) —often called 'netiquette'. Virginia Shea's book, Netiquette, lists a basic set of dos and don'ts for communicating suitably with others on the Internet. Following are some of her suggestions.

    First, always remember that you are sending messages to a real person, not just to a computer. Don't type anything that you wouldn't say to someone's face. Also, remember that the person who receives your message cannot hear the tone of your voice, or see the expression on your face, so make sure your meaning is clear.

    Don't do anything online that you wouldn't do in real life. Don't take anything without paying for it, unless it's free. Don't use information that someone else has written, and say it's yours. Don't read other people's e-mail—you wouldn't open your next-door neighbor's mailbox and open their mail, right? Do share your knowledge of the Internet with others. It's a big place with lots of information, and there are many new things to discover.

    Remember that people judge(判断) you by your words as well as your actions, so try to write well. Good writing skills, as well as correct grammar and spelling, matter(有关系). Send polite, well-written e-mail messages to others. If you're uncertain about how to spell a word or which phrases to use, look it up. There are lots of helpful books and websites.

    It's okay to show your ideas online in forums(论坛) like chat room or message boards, but don't start arguments with people. 'Flame wars' in online discussions can be interesting to read, but are often unfair to other members of the group. Express your opinions, but remember that fighting online or offline is just not suitable.

    When you're online, just as in 'real' life, try to respect(尊重) other people's space, privacy and feelings. Remember, you are not the only one travelling on this highway!

Dear Mum and Dad,

    We have some exciting news for you. Jenny is going to have a baby! {#blank#}1{#/blank#} At first, the doctor said she might have some trouble with the baby. Now he says she is just fine. She is very healthy and happy! She still works on her paintings every day. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} She gets tired more quickly now.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} We're moving to New York! We want to be closer to you and Jane. It's much nicer to be near the family. Jenny grew up in Mexico, and she doesn't have a family member here. So that makes you even more important for us.

    Jenny is a little worried about working in New York. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} In Italy her paintings are already popular. But I'm sure people will like her in New York. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} I'm still working for the New York Times. I'll be writing about the United Nations in New York. We're planning to move next month.

    See you then!

Yours,

Jim

    Which meal do we need most, breakfast, lunch or dinner? Dinner is a big meal of the day, but it is not the meal we need most. Breakfast is the meal we need most, because from night to the next morning is a long time to go without food. We may feel hungry or sick if we have no breakfast.

    How many times a day should children eat? Most people eat three meals a day  but five times a day is fine for children. Children are always hungry after school. They should have a snack then. Then they will not eat too fast at dinner because eating too fast is not good. They should also have an apple or an orange between lessons. They are growing. They need to eat often.

    Is it right to eat much when we get tired? It is not good to eat too much. It can make you sick. Wait until(直到)you are rested. Then your food will do you better.

    We can talk about interesting things at the table but we should talk quietly. If we are glad, our food does us better.
