And you can enjoy many trees and colorful flowers everywhere. Tivoli is specially beautiful at night because there are thousands of lights in the trees.
What can you do in Tivoli? Many people go to Tivoli for the rides. The Golden Tower is their favorite ride. It's very exciting. The tower is as high as a very tall building. When you take this ride, you go in a small car straight up to the top of the tower. At the top you have the chance to enjoy the beautiful city of Copenhagen for a few seconds. Then the car drops, and you fall with it. It is a very scary but funny ride.
Another thing you can do in Tivoli is enjoying the shows. There are free shows and concerts in Tivoli every day. At the Peacock Theater, you can watch the actors perform silent theater. In the show, the actors move and do things, but they don't speak. You have to think about what they are doing to understand the show.

The class teacher thought that hobbies were important for children. So she encouraged all her students to have one, and sometimes she arranged hobby shows for their parents to see as a result.
One morning the teacher told the class to have a holiday and get their hobby things to school before 5 p.m. A hobby show would be held the following afternoon.
So in the afternoon, the students with nothing to show did their lessons at school as usual, while the lucky ones had a holiday to go home for their hobby works.
When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. “I don't believe Tommy has a hobby,” she thought. However, at a quarter to five. Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection of butterflies(蝴蝶) in glass case. The teacher liked the samples (标本) very much and put them on a desk in the classroom. But, to her surprise, Tommy picked them up again and began to leave.
“What are you doing, Tommy?” she asked. ”Those things must stay here until tomorrow afternoon. That's when the parents are coming to see them. ”
“I know that,” answered Tommy, “and I will bring them back tomorrow, but my big brother doesn't want them to be out of our house at night. ”
“But, aren't the butterflies yours?” asked the teacher.
“No,” answered Tommy. “They are my brother's.”
“But Tommy, you should show your own hobby here, not somebody else's. ”
“I know that,” answered Tommy. What surprised her most was the answer. “My hobby is watching my brother collecting butterflies. ”

Sometimes we feel good, such as when we get good grades or when something good happens. Sometimes we feel bad, such as when we argue with our classmates or when the teachers criticize us. Both kinds of feelings are common. Of course, we all enjoy good feelings, but when we feel unhappy, sometimes we don't know what to do about it. Here is a plan that will help you when your feelings are bothering you.
1. ACCEPT your feelings. Say to yourself, “I am sad. ” “I am scared. ” “I am angry. ” “I am embarrassed. ” It's all right to have these feelings.
2. RELAX and have a rest before you act. Take slow deep breaths (呼吸) and relax your body. Imagine that you are in a safe place. You can listen to some music or sing a beautiful song!
3. THINK about ways to help yourself. Thinking helps you do something smart instead of hurting yourself or making things worse.
4. DO something to help yourself. Maybe you can talk to someone, or do something you enjoy. If it doesn't work, go back to Step 3.
