We all have some problems and stress in our lives. How should we solve them？
Here is some advice.
Firstly，we should get more physical exercise.Sports can help make our body
healthier and make us study better. In my opinion，it's necessary for us to exercise
more than one hour every day. Secondly，we should talk with our parents，teachers
or friends as often as we can so that they can give us more useful advice.Thirdly，we
should listen to music or read some books. They are good ways to relax ourselves.
Fourthly，when we sometimes get bad grades，we should learn to face them bravely.
All in all，if we accept the advice above，I think we can deal with our problems
and stress successfully. We can become more and more confident.

Dear Bill，
Yours，
Wang Tao
I don't really agree with your parents because you're interested in music and
listening to music can help you relax. Maybe your parents are worried you will spend
too much time listening to music and might not get good grades.
I think you should tell them why you want to buy a CD player and promise that
you'll keep on studying hard. If they still don't agree， you could get a part-time job
and make some money to buy a CD player by yourself. (共35张PPT)

Should kids take after-school classes
Dear Sir or Madam,
I don’t really agree with parents’ opinions about after-school classes because they only want to get their children into good schools or have successful children.
Although some parents are right about the importance of learning at a young age, I think children should be allowed to(被允许) be children and have a wonderful childhood.
In my opinion, it is important for parents not to push their children too hard. I believe it is better if parents try to really understand their children’s interests and abilities first

so that they will not make their children take classes that are not suitable（合适的） for them.
Perhaps parents could let their children decide for themselves if they want to have the after-school classes. If children are allowed to choose(选择) the classes by themselves, they will be more interested in the classes. They will grow up to be successful in their own way and to be happy to.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
