According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence.
Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence — the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like ʽgood job’ or ʽnice work’ whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise.
Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s advantages and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students.
“It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That’s just how the world is."

To whom it may concern,
I am one of your customer. I am unwilling to complain, and your service really annoys me. I order a set of Bookworm Series on your website the other day, but not until yesterday I receive it. Much to my disappointment, the books were so poorly packed up that the cover of one book was torn. To make matters bad, it was not a complete set, as I found one book missed.
I am sorry to have received such poor service. I believe I have every right to ask you to deal with a problem. I hope that you either return my money back or deliver a new set of books to me. Therefore, I’d like to be informed of the process of your dealing with my complain.
Looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Wang Ling

Rising through stages to realize ourselves
Many modern people have the problem that they don’t know who they are and what their purpose is. 1.. Once high school seniors graduate, they seem to lose their identity. They once studied hard. But after they stop working, they begin to lose their way.
In the theory of the Hierarchy of Needs (需求理论), Abraham Maslo, put forward a similar situation, which consists of the five levels of a person’s need. The fifth and final level is self-realization, which is where our final achievement lies. 2..
I think self-realization has three major aspects. The first stage is acceptance, the second stage is discovery and the last stage is perseverance.
Acceptance is the first stage. We should be reminded that we are all born unique, so we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. Only when we understand these, can we pursue them or change them. 3..
Once we’ve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be. 4. but indeed we should live for ourselves. So before we start working towards a purpose, we should ask ourselves “Is this what we truly desire?” and “Is this going to change the situation we’re in?”
The last stage is perseverance. 5.. Those who can self-realize are people who focus on the things they want to change.
Through the three stages, we could gain recognition of ourselves. And by this point, whatever our lives were like, we would be able to stand tall, confident of ourselves.
A.It’s nothing to a man of perseverance
B.Only by acceptance of the past can we change it
C.This is especially common among college students
D.Many people tend to go along with social expectations
E.Being objective and yet tolerant is the key to acceptance
F.It is the process of knowing ourselves and finding a purpose
G.Exploring our potential isn’t going to be done in a short time
