Want to be a football coach, a policeman or a model? If you could do any job for a day, what would it be? Takeover Day offers young people this chance.
Takeover Day is for young people to "take over" the day from adults (成年人). It gives young people experience in different kinds of jobs. Adults can also learn from young people's fresh ideas.
Here's what the students say about their Takeover Day.
Simon, 13, went to Coventry Football Club. He became a football coach for a day, "Having a try at training players was an unforgettable experience," said Simon. "If I have the chance, I will do this job every day." |
Sally, 15, became the head teacher of her school. "So many meetings! We even had no time for lunch." she said. But Sally thinks she learned a lot. "My favourite part of the day was meeting the school cook and improving the school menus (菜单) for the week. It was a great chance to tell her what we really like eating!" |
Paul, 14, spent the day with a doctor. Paul thought, " If everyone has the chance to follow a model for a day, they will be surprised." "They nearly worked for 20 hours a day," he said. |
There is a girl at school, and we don't really get along. She keeps spreading rumours(传播谣言) about me and people are turning against me. What should I do? —Sam |
Some people spread rumours as a way to scare others and get popularity. But spreading rumours as a way to turn people against someone is a form of bullying(霸凌). So what can you do if you find yourself the target(目标) of rumours and social bullying?
Turn to a trusted adult for support. Talk to someone you can trust, like a parent, a teacher, or a coach. Let that person know what you're going through. Keep him or her up to date on what's going on, even as things start to get better. A trusted adult can help you feel more supported and less lonely. What's more, adults can do something to put a stop to the rumours.
Find your friends. Find a friend or two who will be willing to help you and who won't listen to rumours. If you want, share your feelings with those friends. Don't think too much about the situation, though. Spend time having fun with your friends and doing activities you enjoy.
Speak up. Try to speak to the girl who's spreading rumours. Don't be angry. Avoid shouting. Just say what you want calmly and clearly. After you've said what you want, you can simply walk away. There's no need to wait for her to say anything back. Leave her to think about what you said.
Before you try talking to the girl, though, talk with an adult about what to say. It can also help to have a friend stand with you when you talk to the girl.
