How to beat a bad mood

Having one of those days or weeks when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go awary after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster, often within a day or two.

??Walk it off

Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster.A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension.Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or taking some quick exercise can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.

??Tune it out

Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tensions go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.

??Give yourself a pep talk

Stop and listen to what's on your mind.Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts.Write them all down on paper; the pessimistic（悲观的）messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers.

??Reduce your stress

close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach..Another simple way to distress is to make a to-do list.One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have mo options（选择权）.

By taking control over certain areas,You realize you're not helpless.You can make change in your mood and life.

??Avoid thing that won’t improve your mood

TV may not help much: You need to increase your energy level and stimulate your mind—something that the tv show “neighbors” won’t do.

How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue SO well?When we compare them

With adults learning a foreign language，we often find this interesting fact．A little child without

knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language．A grown—up person with fully developed mental powers，in most cases，may end up with a faulty and inexact corflllland．What accounts for tllis difference?

Despite other explanations。tlle real answer in my opinion hes partly in the child himself，partly in the behaviour of the people around him．In the first place，the time of learning the mother tongue in the most favorable of all，namely，the first years of hfe．A child hears it spoken from morning till night and，what is more important，always in its genuine form，with the right pronunciation，rightIntonation，right use of words and right structure．He drinksin all the words and expressions which come to him in a hsh．ever—bubbhng spring．There is no resistance：there is perfect assimilation．

Then the child has，as it were，private lessons all the year round，while an adult language—

student has each week a limited number of hours which he generally shares with others．The child

right kind of gestures and facial expressions．Here there is nothing unnatural，such as is often found

In language lessons in schools，when one talks about ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January And what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him．Again and again，when his attempts at speech a聪successful，his desires are understood and fulfilled．

lations with him are always close and personal．ney take great pains to Inske their lessons easy．
