①It can be really embarrassing if someone sees you talking to yourself. But don't feel bad about it! Talking to yourself actually has a lot of advantages.
②You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us do things like making plans and managing our feelings. Talking to yourself loud is like showing this quiet inner(内在的) speech. It can help us do better in different areas like studies, sports and work.
③Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can help us manage bad feelings. "Talking to yourself in the third person is like giving yourself advice." said Jason Moser, a professor(教授) from Michigan State University in the US. Jason uses himself as an example. He does not like flying, but he often has to fly for his work. So when he is feeling nervous or afraid during a flight, he talks to himself-only silently. Well, you know, Jason knows air travel is very safe. And Jason has been on thousands of flights. This can help us to see things from a different aspect(角度), especially when we' re feeling sad or angry.
④When encouragement comes from oneself, it adds to self-confidence. A study invited 72 tennis players to take part in some matches. Researchers divided the players into two groups: one group that said nothing while playing, and the other that talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better than those in the silent group.
⑤Self-talk also helps to improve memory. Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things: read silently, reading aloud, listening to someone else read and listening to a recording of oneself reading. "Those who read out loud record the information best," Researchers said in their study. It's because the information will probably become a long-term memory if it is said out loud.

Different people may have different hobbies. I think hobbies can help us relax and learn more things. I have four good friends. They all have their hobbies.
I'm David. I'm an American boy. I have many model cars. Look, there are taxis, buses, cars and so on. They are my favorite. Collecting model cars is a great hobby for me. I am also fond of playing the piano. | |
Hi, I'm Ben. I am a 13-year-old boy. My father bought me a new bike for my birthday. I think riding a bike helps me keep healthy, so I ride it to school every day. I feel the wind in my hair when I ride it. | |
Hello, I'm Lucy. I come from England. My favorite hobby is reading. I started reading when I was four years old. I often read different kinds of books. When I was reading, I felt I was travelling around the world with the writers. | |
