How to Break Bad Habits
You have lots of things you'd like to do. But sometimes it's hard to get to the finishing line — just like your goal. How can you break your bad habits and develop good ones? Here are a few opinions we often get from kids, followed by ideas that might help.
I can't get away from screens.
If you usually spend time lying on the sofa and watching TV programs or a video when you're bored, go somewhere else instead. Take a book to your room or your violin to the backyard. Or ask if you can help cook in the kitchen.
Start with "showing up". Then take one small step or do one tiny task, followed by another and another. For example, how do I practice the piano? First sit at it. Then play one note at a time. Starting with a very simple step often helps. Why? It's easy, quick, and gets you in action. Then keep taking steps.
I have no time.
Take a look at the choices you make about how you spend time. Do those choices show what's important to you? Can you spare 10 minutes a day to work on a goal? Let's suppose you want to be a singer. Talk with a parent about why your goal counts. Discuss whether you can let go of (放开) something less important to spare time to achieve it.
A. I can't start such a huge goal. B. I don't like playing the piano. C. And how can you try to reach your goals? D. To change a habit, try changing where you spend your time. E. Is it more important to practice singing than play video games? |

Here are some greeting customs (打招呼习俗) in different cultures.
French people greet each other with a handshake, but close friends kiss each other on both cheeks (脸颊) when they first meet and before they leave each other. In South Korea, it is better for people to bow when greeting each other. A bow is followed by a handshake. While shaking someone's hand, it is polite to support the right forearm (前臂) with the left hand. Kissing on the cheek is a common way of greeting in Brazil. But in a formal situation, people often shake hands. Men should shake hands before and after meeting each other, and if they become friends with each other, a light hug is often given. In a social situation, it's polite to greet everyone in the room in Ghana. A handshake is used in greeting, and the palm (手掌) must directly touch the palm of others'. People think it's impolite to touch the back of the hand.
