Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “When anything happens, believe in yourself.”

When I was 14, I was too ???? to talk to anyone. My classmates often???? me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later,???? happened. It changed my life.

It was an English speech（演讲）contest. My mother asked me to take part in it. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to ???? in front of all the teachers and students of my school!“Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to ??? . ”Then, Mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I? ?? ? the topic“Believe in yourself”. I tried my best to remember all the speech and ???? it over 100 times. With my mother’s great love, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe my ???? when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the???? ? from the teachers and students. Those classmates who once ???? ? on me, now all said “Congratulations!”to me. My mother hugged me and cried excitedly.

Since then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell myself to be sure and I will find myself.

We all know the dangers of fires. It's good and necessary for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire，and here are some suggestions.

Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.

Make escape plans. We should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire，everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.

Buy fire extinguishers（灭火器）in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them. Practice for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules：

★Don't open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.

★Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.

★What will you do if your hair or clothes star to burn? First. stop! Don't run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However，it is not true. Communication（交流）is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents，don't worry about it. Here is some advice about getting on well with parents.

Don't argue（争辩）with your parents. Don't talk with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't think over your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go some place to cool off and think about what you want to say to your parents.

Try to reach an agreement. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Sometimes your parents might refuse to accept your reasons for something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

Talk about your values （价值观）. The values of your parents are probably different from yours. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

2.How many pieces of advice does the writer give you?
