When you feel unhappy or forget how great you are, these are six ways to make you feel good about yourself.

1）Look in the mirror（镜子）and say to yourself, "I am a special person and there's no one in the world like me. I can do anything!" It may not sound so good, but it really works!

2）Do something nice for someone. Helping others always makes you feel good.

3）Smile! Be friendly to the people you meet. Look for the good things in your friends and family.

4）Learn something new! Have you always wanted to decorate（装饰）your own room or learn how to swim? Go for it! New challenges（挑战）are fun and can give you a sense of accomplishment when you have finished.

5）Read and start A diary. Turn off the TV and let your imagination（想象）fly! Write down your thoughts, dreams or anything you want! Writing always helps to express（表达）your feelings.

6）Stay with your family. We all need our family time. Talk with your mum or dad or maybe even your cousin.

Why do we need to throw less away？There are two reasons. One is that some resources（资源）can't be found any more. That means there is only a certain amount of that resource in the world.【小题1】 When we use up all the oil in the world，there will be no more.

【小题2】All of our trash has to be put somewhere. Much of that trash will be there for hundreds of years. The place will be filled up with too much trash.

【小题3】

One way is to recycle. When you recycle something，it means it is used again. Old newspapers may become paper bags. A glass jar can be melted and made into a bottle.

【小题4】You can wash and use a bottle again. It can hold something else.

The third way to cut down on trash is to reduce the amount of trash you make. Stop buying things that you don't need in the first place【小题5】

Teenagers usually experience changes at all levels-physical and emotional (情感的). Some may feel uncomfortable when in new situations, such as talking to strangers. But with a small talk, you may easily fit into the new environment. A small talk is a light conversation for social occasions (场合). Although it usually doesn’t have much detail, it is the starting point for friendships. Children can use a small talk to start a conversation in many different ways.

Asking open questions is one of the most useful ways. For example, you are at someone’s birthday party, but you know few people. How do you break the ice? You can start a conversation with “This is a great party. How do you know the host?” This way is also helpful in many other situations, such as school clubs or picnics.

Sometimes, simply an introduction works, especially to help find common ground with others. For example, when going into a new environment, you can introduce yourself by saying “I am in Class 2. My math teacher is Mr. Black.” The other person may say, “Oh, really? He is also my math teacher. He is very strict....” See? A good conversation begins.

The third way is to find your strong point and show it to others. This is useful when you want to join a group. For example, you see boys playing soccer on the school playground. Just say, “Do you need more players? I am a very good goalkeeper.”

So next time, don’t be nervous when meeting strangers. Just try a small talk. A stranger may become your next friend.
