If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver(勇敢的), just try the following things:
Be open to others. Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide(掩盖) it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they will understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable i n talks.
Try to smile more. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too; and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.
Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start a conversation, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Get your attention elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don't waste time worrying about your look or whether(是否) people like you or not. You will become relaxed and find it's not so ha rd to talk with others.
Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say “Hi!” or smile at someone, say to yourself "You can make it." Keep trying and one day you'll never feel shy when you talk to others.

How can you get happiness? Most people may say that happiness means a nice house, a car, a big bank balance and a high paying job.
Here in India where I live now, I have travelled through villages where people seemed to earn enough to make ends meet(收支平衡). I can see happiness. I have seen smiling faces and smiling eyes. They were very happy and made my journey easier.
I also worked on Wall Street in 1997, in a big Investment Bank. I have seen some people with a lot of money but still unhappy because they pay more attention to their material life. I am not saying that all rich are unhappy. In fact, some rich people look angry or ill, but some poor people look happy.
Happiness is not a thing of how much you have. Happiness is a life full of hope and good emotions. You can feel happy by listening to a good song; you can feel happy watching a beautiful sunrise; you can feel happy in lots of ways that don't need any possessions(财富) at all.

I've got some information for everyone going to Britain next month. As you know, you'll be staying with a family for two weeks. Now the most important thing is money. You should take about £30 in cash(现金)and about £200 in traveler's cheques(支票). Then when you arrive at the airport you'll be met by our host(主人)family. You must remember to wear a red shirt so the family will find you easily. I've told them to look out for the red shirts. You'll also need to take with you 4 photos of yourself and, of course, it's very important that you take the school letter. While you are there, if you have any problems, you can call our agent(代理人).

What do you think of your study habits?Do you find it hard to concentrate on your homework?Do you forget anything that you studied the night before?If you have these problems, maybe your study habits are not so good. Here are some tips to help you improve your study habits.
● Plan your time carefully. When you plan a trip, one of the first things you must do is to make a list of things. If you don't, you are almost certain to leave something important at home. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. Otherwise, you may forget to leave enough time to complete them.
● Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study place. Keep this space, which may be a desk or a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No computers, radios or televisions! If you can't find such a place at home, find a library where you can study.
● Make a good plan of your study. In class you should pay attention to what the teacher says. Sit where you can see and hear well. Good listening in class means less work later. You should take notes, too. After class you should go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss next day, read them first. This will help you understand the next class better.
