What do you think being beauty really means? All answers to that question are correct, because there are no right or wrong replies. Despite(不管) what society tries to make us believe, there is no “ideal” beauty. There are exact standards—hair colour, or eye colour—that make someone beautiful. Think about it: did you consider someone to be really beautiful, but your friend didn’t see it? That’s because different people have different ideas.

Weight-loss companies and clothing industries seem to have made it their goal to get us believe that we are not enough and that we need all kinds of things to be prettier. It’s not true! Companies sell us these ideas for their products to make money. I’m not saying that buying beauty products is bad, but what would be bad is using them because you feel like you have to look a certain way in order to be “beautiful”.

Here are some tips for you. Remember, the people wear tons of make-up and are photoshopped in order to look perfect. When you see a girl who society considers as a “great body”, you have to remember that people have different body types and everyone’s body is different. Everyone has beauty of their own. We’re all beautiful, whether we’re slim, thickset or anywhere in between. If you want to lose weight, go ahead, but do it in a healthy way and do it for the right reason—not because you want to fit in. Being comfortable with yourself is really important, and being with others who accept you as you are and don’t ask you to change to look a specific(特定的) way is important too.

Travelling is one of the most important activities and people have been interested in it for many years. Modern traffic develops fast, so travelling to different places has become much easier than before.

Staying healthy while travelling can make your trip happier. But do you know how to keep healthy during a trip? The following information may be useful for you.

Before leaving

Wear comfortable shoes, a hat and sunglasses.

Take some necessary(必要的)medicine with you. They can be used when you get sick or have other problems.

You can do lots of sports, such as walking or climbing on your trip, you should do some exercise for weeks or months before you leave.

While travelling

Be sure not to eat dirty food or bad fruit.

Don’t forget to have enough time to have enough rest during your trip.

Tap water is dangerous, so drink bottled(煮过)water and always clean the cover on the bottle.

About your problems, sometimes most of you still want parents’ help and advice. However, talking to them can be difficult. What should you do to make it easier?

The more you do something, the easier it will be. Everything seems difficult at first. But if you talk to your parents more often, you will be surprised to see the change. And next time when you have problems, you will feel more comfortable to talk with them.

Tell your parents something about you. You can share your school life with them. Even a small talk like what’s for dinner can keep the relation between you and your parents close.

Maybe you also need to tell them some bad news like failing an exam. Don’t be worried about what they will think of you. On the contrary (相反), they will help you find out the reasons for your poor grades. And next time, you will do better.

Anyway, remember that you are the most important person to your parents in the world. If something they do upsets you, you shouldn’t be angry with them. Just have a good talk, and I am sure everything will be better.
