Dear classmates,
It’s common for you to feel stressed. Sometimes stress is a good thing, but too much stress is harmful to your mind and body. Here I’m glad to share some useful ways to deal with it. First, have a good sleep! You should sleep for at least 8 hours every day. A good sleep can make you ready for tomorrow. Second, do exercise. Exercising is one of the best ways to reduce stress. If you can’t take exercise every day, try to do it at least three times a week. Third, eat healthily. Eat more fruits and vegetables and cut down on junk or processed foods. Finally, speak your stress out. When you are going through a difficult time, find a trusted person and open up to that person. This can be a friend, a teacher, or a family member. Anyway, talking with him or her may make you feel less stressed.
Thanks for your listening! I hope what I mentioned above can help you!(

On April 2, we said goodbye to Tiangong I,China's first space lab.According to the China Manned Space Agency（中国载人航天），Tiangong I re-entered the Earth＇s atmosphere（大气层）and some of its debris （碎片）fell into the South Pacific Ocean.There are many spacecraft（宇宙飞船）that are still in orbit（轨道）above the Earth.After finishing their trips， they will all re-enter the Earth's atmosphere like TiangongⅠ.

It is hard to tell when and where these spacecraft will fall until the last few hours.The US space station Skylab came back partially uncontrolled in 1979. Parts of the station fell in western Australia, but no one was hurt.
