Later on, I realized that I doesn’t matter if you
don’t understand every word
Also I was afraid to speak in class, because I
thought my classmates might laugh at me. I
couldn’t always make complete sentences,
either.
Then I started to watch English-language TV. It
helped a lot.
Another thing that I found very difficult was English
I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of
grammar.

Read the article quickly and try to find at
least three ways to solve problems.
•By learning to forget
•By regarding problems as challenges
•By thinking of something worse.
1.What will happen if we worry about
our problem?
Worrying about our problems can
how we
do at
school
affect _____
_____
____
___ _____.
It can also _________
influence the way we
_______
behave with our families.
2.Are there many ways to deal with
our problems? What are they?
1.By learning to forget:
①Why have we probably
been angry with or friends, parents or
teachers?
Because they may said something you
didn’t like, or you felt they were unfair.
②Why may friendships be lost?
Beacause people can stay angry for years
about a small problem.
Give me an example
about by learning to forget:
We have seen young children playing
together. Sometimes they have
disagreements and decide not to talk
to each other. However this ususlly does
not last for long.
An important lesson:
We can solve a problem by learning
to forget.
2.By regarding problems as challenges:
Many students often complain about:
① feel they have too much work to do
sometimes.
② think the rules are too strict
How to solve:
We must change these
problems into challenges.
Why?
① Education is an important part of
our development.
② It is our duty to try our best to deal
with each challenge in our education
with the help of our teacher.
3.By thinking of something worse:
Why?
Because by comparing yourself to other
people you will find_________________
your problem
________________________________.
are not so terrible.
So let’s_________________________.
not worry about our problem
let’s__________________________.
face the challenges instead.
