What to do if you don't feel popular?

●Try to take part in activities. Call your friends. Plan to do something. The worst feeling is staying home alone, because it makes you feel even more lonely.

●Try to make new friends. Choose friends carefully, not just because you think they're popular. And remember, making good friends takes time. Choosing a popular person to be friends with is okay. If they are nice.

●Be yourself(保持独立). If you want to become friends with someone who's popular, don't make yourself into someone you are not just to impress that person.

●Be nice. Be friendly. Be outgoing(开朗的). But don't overdo it! Talk to trusted friends if you are feeling really bad. Or you might want to write it down in a journal(期刊)or diary.

●Do something special for yourself. You could take pictures of your friends, or collect their school pictures, and take a collage(拼贴画)to hang on your wall. This will remind(提醒)you, when you are feeling unpopular, that you really do have friends.

●Think up your own ideas. These suggestions might not work for everyone.

What to do if you have a problem with your teacher?

●Talk to your parents, or another adult who will listen to you and perhaps can help. Talk to your friends. Maybe they have had problems with the same teacher, too.

●Don't give the teacher a reason to have problems with you. Do your work, complete your task, attend the class seriously and take notes. Maybe you just need to give the teacher a chance(机会).

●Try to find out what the problem is.

●Talk to the teacher if you feel comfortable doing this. Don't be nasty(闹别扭的), but express your concerns(关心). Listen to the teacher, as well.

●Just accept the fact that you're not going to love all your teachers.

Big Bubbles

We all love bubbles. They float through the air like little glass balls, shining with colors and light. You can make bubbles with dishwashing soap and a paper cup. Soap makes the water stick together in a round shape. The bubbles you blow will be really big!

Here’s what you will need:

• A large bowl • A spoon • 4 cups of water

• 5 tablespoons of dishwashing soap

• A pair of scissors

• A paper cup

Follow these steps(步骤) to make big bubbles:

1. Fill the bowl with the water.

2. Add the dishwashing soap into the water and mix them together.

3. Cut a small hole in the bottom of the paper cup. This is the hole that you will blow through.

4. Dip the top rim of the cup into the soapy water. Slowly lift the cup out of the bowl. There should be a thin “window” of soapy water filling the open space of the cup.

5. Slowly put your mouth up to the hole in the bottom of the cup. Gently blow air through the hole. A big bubble will rise into the air! For   a party, you can make a bowl of soapy water and a paper cup bubble-blower for each friend. If your friends do step 4 and 5 again and again, just think of how many bubbles you can make together!

Our memory naturally drops as we age. We depend on our memory to perform our daily tasks well and do our jobs properly. 【小题1】 . Nothing is more embarrassing than forgetting vital information at a gathering. But there are some ways we can do to make it as sharp as ever.

Sleep Well

This is very important if you want to keep your good memory until you grow old. You must give your brain enough rest and sleep so that it can regenerate more cells where it can store more information. 【小题2】.

Eat Healthily

【小题3】. Eating avocado and broccoli stimulates（促使）blood flow to the brain. Have more beans which contain folate（叶酸）—a vitamin B that figures well in brain development. Adding nuts and beans to your daily diet can also contribute to a healthier memory.

【小题4】

Don't think that you are too old to learn new skills. Try learning a new language or even playing an instrument. Start attending baking or painting classes.

It's not really the skill that you choose but in the fact that you focus on it for regular periods of time and find it interesting.

Exercise

【小题5】. When we exercise, we increase blood flow to the brain, increase the production of newer and younger cells and protect the brain cells from any kind of damage. Exercise can do a lot of wonders to our body, so you'd better start exercising now before it's too late.
