Are you having a hard time at school Does your little brother or sister make you angry Do your parents never understand you Write to Andy and ask for advice.
Dear Andy,
My sister really makes me angry! She's always going into my room and taking my things without asking. I really wish she wouldn't. My room should be private! When I try talking to my sister, she never listens to me. So I lose my temper every time and then we argue a lot. I've asked my parents to put a lock on my door, but they said they wouldn't buy one. What should I do
Elena
Dear Elena,
The first thing you should do is to talk to your parents on your own about the situation. You could advise that they talk to your sister if you can't keep your cool when you talk to her. You and your sister should respect each other and try harder to keep peace. She shouldn't have taken your things without telling you, but you shouldn't lose your temper every time you talk to her. When she makes you feel angry, try counting to ten in your head or leave the room calmly.
Andy

九、书面表达(10分)
We teenagers have more and more pressure while growing up. Here are two main reasons. One of the problems is too much pressure on our schoolwork. And our parents always compare us with others.The other problem is how to get on with other people. At home,we are angry with parents at times. At school,we even argue with classmates.
So how to deal with the pressure Taking part in after school activities is a very useful way. Besides, more communication often works. After that, we will feel closer to each other.
It's time for us to make a change.All in all, we should try our best to deal with the stress and keep healthy both in body and mind.
