Everyone worries. But how do you deal with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these three steps to do with your worries:

    1. Try to find out what you're worded about

    Sometimes, you will know what you're worried about. Other times, you might not. Try to find it out first; if you can't, you can ask for help.

    2. Think of ways to make it better

    There is always something you can do to help you feel less worded. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won't solve your problem.

    Grades at school are often top worries for kids. If you're worded about grades, ask yourself these questions:

    ★ Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?

    ★ How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn't a test?

    ★Do I have a good place to do my homework?

    ★ Have I tried different ways of studying?

    If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do: write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.

On my first job, I worked as a sports editor for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from my readers, so I was   l  that there was an envelope（信封）on my desk one morning. From the   2 , I could see it was from a most popular newspaper.
When I opened it, I found a note and it read, “You did a good job. Go on!”
The note was   3  by Mr. John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand（新手）, his words made me   4  . After that, I kept the note in my desk drawer. Whenever I doubted  5  I had the ability to be a good editor(编辑) , I would read John’s note and become  6  again.
Later, when I made friends with Mr. John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to   7  young people in many fields. “When I make   8  feel happy,” he told me, “I feel happy, too.”   9 , why are there few note writers like John in our life?

The problem with phone calls is that they cannot   12   a long time, but a note is a good way of record and our words can be read   13 .
