Everybody worries. 【小题1】 But what should you do about it? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these 3 steps:

Figure it out

Sometimes, you will know exactly what you’re worried about. 【小题2】 Let’s say you’re worried about a teacher who seems mean. But maybe what’s really worrying you is that you’re having trouble with maths. If you get some help with maths, that teacher might seem just fine.

【小题3】

There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it probably won’t solve your problem. 【小题4】

But what if you can’t think of anything to do to make your particular problem better? Then it’s time to jump to Step 3.

Ask for help

Worrying can make you feel lonely. 【小题5】 You don’t know for sure that no one can help until you share your feelings and let the person try to help.

Delivering presentations is an everyday art form that anyone can master. To capture your audience's attention, present your information with ease and confidence. Act as if you are in a conversation with your audience, and they will pay attention to you. 【小题1】

Give it the "bar" test. The "bar" test ensures that your idea is clear and your storytelling is effective. Before you write your presentation, make notes sketching out your message. Think of it as a story, with a beginning, middle, and end. Then ask a colleague or friend who knows nothing about your project to listen to your summary. 【小题2】

Prepare for nerves. It's important to rehearse in front of people because it will make you less nervous when the time comes. If you tend to get nervous when you give presentations, you can go further during your rehearsals in order to reduce your nerves. 【小题3】 For instance, if your fear is "I'll forget what I'm saying"，you can prepare a plan like, "If I forget what I'm saying, I'll pause, scan my notes, and find the next important point I need to make."

【小题4】 Smile, raise your eyebrows, and otherwise tell your story through feelings as well as facts. Show your audience your own passion for the topic. Say everything as if you find it interesting and expect them to be interested by it as well. Your enthusiasm will be infectious.

Find ways to make your presentation interactive. 【小题5】 Ask someone to tell a joke to get you warmed up, or quiz audience members about their experience with something related to your topic. If it's a large group, ask questions that each audience member can answer with a show of hands.

Go fly a kite

Learning how to fly a kite is simple and flying kites can be a fun form of exercise.

Of course, the first thing you need is a kite and a ball of string (线). 【小题1】 Then wait for a windy day.

When the perfect day arrives, find an open space, such as field. 【小题2】

Before flying your kite, find out which way the wind is blowing. 【小题3】 To begin flying your kite, stand with your back to the wind and hold the kite up so the wind can catch it. If the day is not very windy, you may need to get your kite started by running.

【小题4】 At the same time, walk backwards a few steps to keep the string tight. Now that your kite is up in the air, you can decide how long to fly it and how high you want it to go.

【小题5】 Slowly wind up (卷起) the string. Try not to pull your kite in too fast or it may crash (坠落).

Flying kite is a great way to spend a windy afternoon. If you follow these steps carefully, you will have something more fun to do than sitting inside and watching TV. So on the next windy day, get up off the sofa. Go fly a kite!
