Dear Grandma,
How"s it going? I hope that Grandpa is well now. I was sorry to 1 that he had a cold last week. I 2 you are in good health. Things are fine here. I finished my end-of-year exams last week, and got
my 3 card today. I always get nervous 4 I see the envelope from school in the mail, but luckily I 5 OK this time. I had a really hard time with science this semester, and I wasn"t surprised to find
that my 6 report was from my science teacher. She said I was lazy, which isn"t true. It"s just that I
find science really 7 . The good news is that my math teacher said I was hard working. And my
Spanish teacher said my listening was good. Well, that"s about all the news I have for now. Mom and Dad
send their love.
Love,
Alan

Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you decide to do your homework right after school, you may get something to eat before getting to work. Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don"t wait until very late in the evening, or your work will seem much harder than it really is. If you have more than an hour"s work, give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand, don"t break it up so much that you can"t get anything done you should be able to work at least a half at a time without stopping. Don"t put it off until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework, you will have it on your mind, and you won"t enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until right before a test, you will have too much catching up to do. A little bit each night enough to keep up with what is happening each day in school, will take the fear out of tests and keep you on top of it all. Do your homework at the same time every evening. This will help you make it a habit. It will make it easier to do and it will make your free time more enjoyable, as well. | ||

Some children are born bosses (领导,指挥者). They have a need to make decision, manage their environment and lead rather than follow. Too much rule in the hands of the young isn"t healthy for children or the family. Family expert John Taylor says, "Children have secret feelings of weakness. They are always trying to feel safe." It"s the parents" duty-not the child"s -to provide safety. When a "boss child" doesn"t learn limits (限制) at home, troubles will appear outside the family. The child may have trouble obeying (服从) teachers, for example, or keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your ruling ways. Bossy kids are often unusually bright. Their parents need to be especially careful to manage them. Bossy kids usually work more on the mother. It"s important for both parents to know their child"s weakness, to agree on key rules and to back each up. Even as you try to be kind-to a point-don"t give up your parental ruling post. Instead, stand your ground by using body language that tells your child who the boss is. Good manners (礼貌) are important to family. Show a child by example how to ask for something rather than shout orders. Try asking your child to do things that are not too difficult. Then reward (奖励) him with a hug (拥抱) and words such as "Thank you. I like it when you listen to me." Over time good manners will become associated (联系) with pleasure. 1.

According to Gerry Smith and Shaun Belding, writers of three books on dealing with people who make troubles at the office, how you get on with the people described below can improve the working environment for everyone. (1)People who blame (指责) others including (包括) you Call them on it by saying, "Why is it always someone else"s fault (错误)?" They may laugh over what you said or become sorry. Both of them mean your point has been taken. (2)People who take your ideas as their own Put your names on anything you write or make. If someone does it at a meeting, point it out at once- using humour(幽默)if possible. Later follow the person and tell him or her, "Don"t do that again." (3)People who often break in Don"t put up with it. Say coolly but firmly (坚定地), "Please wait while I finish talking." (4)People who embarrass (使人窘迫) you in public Put them on the hot seat by saying later, "I"m sure you didn"t want to embarrass me, but you did." (5)People who don"t follow through Of course you cannot order another worker, but you can try telling them they are not helpful and that you"ll report it to the boss (老板) if they go on. Then do it. (6)People who tell lies Talk straight to him or her when it"s about you. Or ask the boss for help, who can tell him or her, "There are lies going around. Can I get you to straighten them out for me?" | ||
