Dear Larry,
Thanks for telling me about the pressure you are getting from your family rules.
In your e-mail, you said the relation between your parents you got much worse. They didn't allow you TV on school nights. You could go out with friends but you must home before 9 o'clock. You thought these rules were too strict and your parents didn't love you. You wanted to leave home.
I'd like to offer you some advice., your parents do love and care about you. They think these rules are for you. So you should communicate them about these rules. Secondly, have you ever thought about what will if you leave home? Don't you know that your parents will about you? you have problems with your parents, you should go to your friends and talk with and then go back home. OK?
Hope things work out.
Yours,
Mrs. White
Dear Du Juan,
I am very sorry to learn that you are unhappy now. But as a friend of yours, I don't think you should be unhappy.
I know that your family is not rich, so your parents can't afford to buy you clothes of famous brands (名牌), which makes you unhappy. Although we don't have much money, we can have a good mood every day. Many rich people have too much money, but they often feel bored and lonely. Your parents have sent you to school so that you can receive good education and have a bright future. This is not easy for your parents. So you should thank them. Don't ask for something that is out of your parents' reach. Don't be vain-glorious (虚荣的).
I also think you should put your heart into study. Read more books and you can get a lot from reading. Without the famous brand competition, you will become happy.
So you should decide not to feel so sorry and sad. You should smile and think you are lucky in life.
I hope my advice will be helpful to you. Wish you happy!
Yours,
Meimei
Since we were born, many people have helped us a lot. We should be grateful (感激的) to their kindness. But the ones we should show our greatest appreciation to are our parents. From the first day we appear in their lives, they give us all their love and care, but never expect anything in return. As long as they are there, we do not feel any difficulties, because they are always in front of our shelter, protecting us from difficulties and danger. In order to make our lives better, they do everything they can to create the best conditions for us, but ignore (忽略) their own needs. Therefore, we need to cherish (珍惜) parents' love and repay their upbringing (养育). We should treat (对待) them as they treat us.
And we must communicate more with our parents in our daily life. How to communicate with our parents? Here are some suggestions. First, try to talk to your parents politely, or they will be sad when talking with you. Second, try to think about your parents more, and you will find that you can understand them. Also, do not forget to care for your parents. They will be pleased if you do that and they will be happy to listen to you, too. If you feel hard to communicate with them, you can tell your parents about it. Maybe they will think about themselves and try to understand you. By doing these things, you can talk to your parents more easily.
①Caring for them. ②Listening to them. ③Saying thanks to them. ④Talking with them politely.
⑤Thinking about them more.
Sometimes you might feel it impossible to get on with your parents. But in fact, it isn't as difficult as you think. Follow these ways, and then you'll improve your relationship with them.
Spend more time with your parents. Your parents won't always be around, so try to spend more time with them. This doesn't mean just sitting in front of the TV together. Instead, you should do more activities with your parents together. By doing them, all of you will feel happy and relaxed.
Talk with your parents more often. In order to understand them better, you should talk with them more often. Try to learn more about them. For example, you could ask them about their own childhood. In this way, you will understand them better.
Always listen to your parents. This may seem simple, but it's often harder than you think. Look at your parents when they are talking. Don't interrupt them, and then speak clearly when replying to them.
Share your feelings with your parents. Sometimes your parents also want to learn more about you. Just do your best to open your heart to them. When possible, talk to them about something at school or what you really want to be in the future.
Make your parents feel proud (自豪的). There are always some ways to make your parents feel good about you. By working hard, you can do well at school or win prizes in games. They will think how lucky they are to have you and be more willing to talk about you in front of others.
My class will put on a short play in English at the end of the year. I was so excited about it. Yesterday our English teacher gave us copies of the play.
"Choose a character in the play whom you'd like to be," she told us. "This afternoon, you can learn a few lines of this part as homework. Then tomorrow you can say those lines in front of the class. I'll decide who play each part. "
I wanted to have one of the biggest parts in the play, so I chose the part of the king. There were a lot of lines to say. I learned them by heart.
This morning in our English class, we had to say our lines. I acted the part of the king. When I said my lines, I put a lot of expression into my acting. I thought I acted really well.
Everyone in the class read a part and then the teacher decided who would play each part.
Many of the students in my class couldn't act at all. They couldn't even read without making lots of mistakes. I was sure that I would get a big part in the play.
However, the teacher gave me the part of a soldier. He had only one line. It was, "Yes, sir!"
I was very disappointed. At the end of the class, I went up to her and asked her why I had such a small part.
"You put too much expression in your acting," she said. "Good acting is not big acting. It is acting that the audience can believe in. "
I think I know what she means.
Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens.
A. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you.
B. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
C. And those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
D. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too.
E. I want to help those who have no houses.
F. When you meet with difficulties, you can give them up and be happy.
G. It's a feeling of your heart.

Teens Feelings
My problem is that I'm shy. I feel nervous when I answer the teachers' questions in class. I always hate to talk in front of a big group of people. I prefer to stay at home rather than go out and have fun. Everybody laughs at me. What should I do?
