Everyone worries. But how do you deal with your worries Whether(不管) your worries are big or small, you can take these three steps to deal with your worries:
*Try to find out what you're worried about
Sometimes, you will know what you're worried about. Other times, you might not. Try to find it out first; if you can't, you can ask for help.
*Think of ways to make it better

☆ How do I get ready for class Do I go over(复习) my notes even when there isn't a test

If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do—write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.

三、阅读表达
A kindergarten teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag with a few potatoes in it. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.
So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they went (even to the toilet) for five weeks.
Days passed by. The rotten(腐烂的) potatoes gave out unpleasant smell and the children started to complain. Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After five weeks, the children felt relieved(如释重负的) because the game finally ended.
The teacher asked, “How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for weeks ” The children spoke out their feelings and started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through because they had to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they went.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. “This is exactly the situation when you carry your hate for somebody inside your heart. The unpleasant smell of hate will pollute your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate (忍受) the smell of rotten potatoes for just five weeks,can you imagine what it is like to have hate in your heart for your lifetime ”
