Most of the time life is pretty good and we all seem to be happy．But let's 1 it：sometimes we can feel down and be in a 2 mood．
People can feel down for many different 3 ．Sometimes we feel down because we had a 4 with a friend or a family member．Or perhaps we didn't do as well in an exam as we might have 5 ．But sometimes we can feel down and we don't 6 know why．Whatever your reason for feeling down is, there are things we can do to help us feel better．
Is there a special activity that you really enjoy? 7 you really like to lay football or ride your bicycle with friends．Or maybe you just like to 8 time alone and listen to music．Doing something that you-enjoy is a great way to cheer yourself up． 9 I am in a bad mood, I like to talk with a good friend to help me 10 through why I'm feeling sad or angry．Talking with my 11 helps me a lot so my anger or sadness doesn't keep 12 inside me．
While doing an activity you enjoy or talking with friends can be really helpful in 13 you out of a bad mood, those choices don't always 14 for everyone．Sometimes it just takes 15 to bring someone out of a low mood．But if you 16 that you are in a low mood for a long time, you should talk to one of your parents or an adult you 17 ．There are lots of people in our lives 18 are able to help us if we're feeling down．Don't be afraid to ask for help．
Everyone is in a bad mood from time to time．Remember that you're not 19 ．Our friends and families are always willing to help us 20 in any way they can．Just remember to think positively and know that you can overcome your bad mood!
Perhaps the most interesting person I have ever met in my life is an Italian professor of philosophy who teaches at the University of Pisa． 1 I last met this man eight years ago, I have not forgotten his 2 qualities．First of all, I respected his 3 to teaching．Because his lectures were always well-prepared and clearly delivered, students crowded into his classroom．His followers liked the fact that he 4 what he taught．Furthermore, he could be counted on to explain his ideas in an 5 way, introducing such aids to 6 as oil paintings, music, and guest lecturers．Once he 7 sang a song in class in order to make a point clear． 8 , I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them 9 the telephone．Drinking coffee in the café, he would easily make friends with students．Sometimes he would 10 a student to a game of chess． 11 , he would join student groups to discuss a variety of 12 : agriculture, diving and mathematics and so on．Many young people visited him in his office for 13 on their studies; others came to his home for social evenings．Finally, I was 14 by his lively sense of humor．He believed that no lesson is a success 15 , during it, the students and the professor 16 at least one loud 17 ．Through his sense of humor, he made learning more 18 and more lasting．If it is 19 that life makes a wise man smile and a foolish man cry, 20 my friend is indeed a wise man．
