Emily：1. I find it hard to control my bad moods.I have them a lot.I try but I can’t seem to cheer myself up.Do you have any advice?
C It’s common to be in low spirits sometimes ,but it’s unhealthy to often have bad moods.If you feel yourself getting angry,take ten deep breaths.
It’ll help you cool down.If you’re feeling upset, try talking about your problems with somebody you trust.
Tommy：2. I always get nervous before tests.I study hard,but when the test starts.I forget everything.I feel so stupid.What can I do?
B Trust yourself.If you study hard
every day,you’ll achieve your goals.When you’re taking your exam,pay attention to your answers and don’t think about your grades.If you worry too much,it won’t help you produce good results.
Tina：3. How can I stop being so shy?I want to make friends be popular and talk to people easily,but I’m not sure how.
A Most people are shy from to time,so you’re not alone.If you meet new people ,ask them about their interests and their everyday life.It’s a great way to break the ice and turn strangers into friends.Start making friendly conversations today.You won’t develop your social skills unless you try.
Jimmy：4. I’m so upset! I have so much school work to do all the time,and I don’t know how to manage it all.What should I do?

Step4 Brainstorming
The mid-term exam is coming. Jerry is worried about his exams. He thinks he has learning difficulties. He wants to ask for advice. You are asked to write a letter of advice to him.
Sample-writing
Dear Jerry,
I hear that you have problems with study and you feel worried/upset about the coming exam, so you are not alone. Here are some suggestions.
First of all, it’s important for you to pay attention to what the teacher says in class and try taking notes, which is good for your study. What’s more, you will find it easier to finish your homework if you work hard every day. Last, review what you have learned on time so that you can keep it in mind.
Hopefully my advice will be helpful to you.
Yours sincerely,
Ina
