Do you get angry at your friends’ singing loudly while you are working? Or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?

If you do, you need to control your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry with people can make you lose friends.

Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written My feelings Are Just Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells teens how to stay cool when bad things happen to them. The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can never make them better. Getting angry is not a natural way to act. It is just a bad habit, like smoking. The book says you can control your anger easily—all you have to do is telling yourself not to be angry.

When a baby falls over, it only cries if people are watching it. Like a baby, you should only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do.

·Keep a record. Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry too easily.

·Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will teach you not to be angry.

·Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try to laugh!

Do you know what school life is like in Singapore? In Singapore, a class only lasts half an hour, but there are no breaks between classes. The students only have a 30-minute tea break after 3 or 4 classes.

They do not do eye exercises. Yao Suyu said our eye exercises were unfamiliar(不熟悉)to her. “I’d like to introduce them to our school,” she said. “They’re very useful!”

In Singapore school ends at 1:50 p.m. But students joined other classes after school such as dance clubs and choir(合唱团). Yao says she joins dance club twice a week and it lasts from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m.

Singapore’s population(人口)includes Chinese, Indians(印度人), Malays(马来人 )and Westerners. But there is no special school for any one of the groups. The students in Yao’s school are mainly Chinese, Indians and Malays. “The Indian students take Indian language classes when we study Chinese,” said Yao. “But if an Indian student is interested in Chinese, he or she can study it, too.”

In Singaporean schools, teachers teach in English. It’s the official(官方的)language in Singapore. Singaporean students have to take different courses after school. Like most Singaporean students, Yao took other courses in Chinese, math and English.

Every year in English-speaking countries, people list the most popular names. Here are some examples. In the United States at the moment, the three most popular names are Emily, Emma, and Madison. For boys, they are Michael, Joshua and Mathew. In Britain parents today might call their little girl Grace, Jessica or Ruby. If they have a little boy, they could call him Jack, Thomas or Oliver.

  In China names have very clear meanings. If a girl is called Mei, her name means “beautiful”. If a boy is called “Wu”, his name means “ like a soldier”. Names in English-speaking countries are like this too. The girl’s name Joy is probably chosen because the parents with their daughter to be joyful and bring joy to others. If a girl is Ruby, it may be because of the beautiful valuable stone.[来源:Zxxk.Com]
