Dear Sigmund Friend
My name is Simon and I am a Grade 9 student. I am crazy 1 football! I love 2 football on TV, reading about football, and of course, playing football. My dream is to be a great football 3 . However, my love of football has become a big problem, and I would like your 4 .
I have many friends, and we always play football together at school or in the park after school. We like staying out late to play football. We often play 5 three hours or more and forget when to stop. Then I get into trouble at home because my parents do not 6 me to play outside after 6 p.m. I really do not understand why they are so 7 . I feel stressed and angry from time to time. I believe it is important for us to spend some time on our hobbies. They can help us relax and 8 our lives more interesting. I wish I could have my parents’ supports.
Is it bad to stay out late to play football? Should I spend less 9 on it? I really do not know what to do. Can you please advise me 10 to achieve a balance between my schoolwork and my hobbies? Thanks a lot.
Best wishes
Simon

1.Paul: I don’t think I can talk fluently(流利) because it’s difficult for me to remember all the words. 2.Billy: When I come face to face with the audience, where should my eyes fall upon? Do I have to look front, or look around from time to time? 3.Amy: When I am talking, I can’t help waving my hands, for I think it can help me express what I want to say better. But my classmates say I look funny and foolish by doing this. 4.Betty: I know that it’s not right to speak fast. But I am afraid that I can’t finish my talk in the given time if I speak slowly. 5.Tony: Should I talk in American English or British English? |
E. You should know you and most of the people you talk to are different in many ways. Some of them may not know what you are talking about. Then speak to them on their terms and in their languages. F. Concentrate on what you want to say. If you are always paying attention to gestures(手势),you will feel uncomfortable. G. It’s true that there are some differences between American English and British English, but they’ll not cause much difficulty for listeners, so just speak the way you’re used to. |
“No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life became empty and sad. We all need friends.
For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.
There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best-seller. It was later put into 28 languages.
Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book.
1. Be friendly and polite. Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please”, when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.
2. Go out of your way to be nice. Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better.
3. Remember names. They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.
4. Be open-minded. Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.
5. Listen patiently. When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.
