Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and tackle items from a to do list that gets neglected during the work week. But as the weekend comes to an end, many of us are missing out on Sunday Funday and instead experiencing a sense of anxiety and even worry about the upcoming week. 【小题1】 Here is how experts say you can ease your end of week anxiety.

Identify your anxiety source

Anxiety is a normal human experience and one of the main ways to manage it is to identify your personal causes. 【小题2】 Create multiple to do lists. One list for tasks that need to be completed immediately, another for tasks that are less urgent, and a final list for tasks that you’d like to complete at some point.

Don’t forget to relax

When structuring your Sunday, try not to put in too many routine tasks. 【小题3】 Maybe a body scan meditation(冥想), maybe a mid-afternoon shower or bath, maybe an engaging movie or show, whatever feels like a helpful distraction(分心的事)to recover from the scaries.

Create some excitement for the week ahead

Having something to look forward to gives you something to think about what is pleasing rather than only focusing on the fright you feel. Instead of focusing on awful things you expect from the week, build excitement over a coffee or lunch date with a friend you have been meaning to catch up with. 【小题4】

Structure your day

【小题5】 Maybe that means planning some favourite foo ds to enjoy while watching football. Or maybe you go all in for some self-care. Do you best to honor this time and make Sunday night all about you leave the work emails for Monday morning.

A.End your Sunday with the right energy.
B.Even though the Sunday scaries are common, they are manageable.
C.Try to find out what is really causing you to feel frightened this week.
D.Make Sunday nights about doing something for yourself to reduce the anxiety.
E.When you’re engaging in what makes you feel good, that feeling is hard to hold on to.
F.If you’re feeling more stress in general, it’s important to make space for relaxing activities.
G.This gives you the opportunity to shift your thought s to something fun and will help improve your mood.

We make promises to others and ourselves all the time. 【小题1】 When we fail to keep a promise, it communicates to the other person that we don’t value him or her. Here are some ways to help you keep your promises.

Make it concrete(具体的). Make sure that you will be able to do something before you make promises. Then set a firm deadline. Firm promises that are set in stone are more likely to be kept. 【小题2】            

【小题3】 Businesses and professionals most often get themselves into trouble when they have made a verbal agreement. So make it a practice to get professional agreements in writing. This way is much easier for both parties to keep their word.

Pay attention to small promises. People often think small promises are unimportant, but that is just not true. Failing to keep these small promises gives the appearance of being disorganized and irresponsible.   【小题4】   On the contrary, you can build trust by showing that you keep your word even on seemingly unimportant things.

Expect the same of others.   【小题5】 You should expect the best of people and give them your trust until they prove they are not worthy of it. Don’t make the mistake of taking agreements you make with others lightly. Be clear about what they are promising, and then hold them to it.

A.Get it in writing.
B.Small promises count.
C.Most often, people will keep their word.
D.But the fact is that we often fail to keep them.
E.You make the other people feel they’re unimportant.

G.When this happens, don’t expect them to keep their promises in the future.

Whether you want to improve your writing skills as a creative writer or simply perfect your skills for schoolwork, you can take some steps to learn how to be a better writer.


1. Use active instead of passive voice.

In English, the most basic sentence structure is S-V-O: Subject-Verb-Object. The passive voice usually requires more words and use of a “to be” verb form, which can suck the energy out of your writing. Learn to avoid these constructions as much as you can. 【小题1】 It conventionally uses the passive voice to put the emphasis on the results, rather than the researchers.


2. 【小题2】

Finding the right verb or adjective can turn an uninspired sentence into one people will remember and quote for years to come. Look for words that are as specific as possible. Strong doesn't mean obscure, or more complicated. Don't say "utilize" when you could say "use." 【小题3】


3. Cut the chaff.

【小题4】 You don't get points for saying in 50 words what could be said in 20, or for using multi-syllable words when a short one does just as well. It might feel good at first to pack a lot of ideas and details into a single sentence, but chances are that sentence is just going to be hard to read. If a phrase doesn't add anything valuable, just cut it. 【小题5】 If you notice that your writing is filled with "-ly" words, it might be time to take a deep breath and give your writing more focus.

A.Use strong words.
B.Show, don't tell.
C.Good writing is simple, clear and direct.
D.The main exception to this is science writing.
E.Cutting the chaff is best done at the editing stage.
F."He sprinted" is not necessarily better than "he ran."
G.Don't write "screamed fearfully" -- "scream" already suggests fear.
