Traveling is one of the best ways for people to know different places while it's also a challenge for people to go to a new place. So travel safety (安全) is also a necessary part when traveling around. Here are some tips (建议) about how to protect yourself when you're going to have a trip. |
|
|
Make a plan When you don't have some friends to help make things like transportation clear, you'd better find more information about your travel place. Pick a place that's not too far from your city or with good traffic. |
Get a room Think about your hotel conditions. You may feel safer in a famous hotel. Whatever you decide, make sure to get a room for yourself before leaving home. It will be much better if it is near the subway or the bus station. |
|
Take fewer things Take only as many as you can easily carry by yourself—put them in one carry-on bag so that you don't need to take the risk of losing them. Leave expensive things at home. |
Communicate with others Tell your travel route (路线)—or at least where you'll be every day—to your parents and a few friends. If you're traveling abroad, make sure your cell phone has international service. |

This was a very busy week. This Friday was Mother's Day, and there were lots of activities at school this week.
▲5/7 Tues.
Johnson, our new music teacher, taught us Mother, a beautiful song about our love for mothers. And Miss Alice told us the story of Mother's Day. The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna of Philadephia (费城). As a result of her hard work, the celebration of the first American Mother's Day was held in Philadephia on May 10, 1998. Soon the holiday became popular all over the country and around the world.
▲5/8 Wed.
We practiced activities for Mother's Day today. We prepared some songs and games to show our love to our mothers. This was going to be a special present for our parents on Friday.
▲5/9 Thurs.
It took us two hours to decorate(装饰) our classroom for PAT DAY. I was tired. Mom was also nervous. It would be the first time for her to meet our teachers. She has always been nervous about talking to teachers since she was a child. That's funny!
▲5/10 Fri.
There were many activities at school. One of them was PAT DAY. Mom and Dad both came to the school. I was a little nervous. What had our teachers told them?
①Had the PAT DAY. ②Miss Alice told us the story of Mother's Day. ③We prepared some songs and games to show our love to our mothers. ④Decorated(装饰) our classroom.
People can't see you when you're speaking on the phone, but they can hear you. So, the way you speak is especially important. In fact, researchers have calculated that 80% of communication over the phone is through your tone of voice; and only 20% is from the words you use. Here are our top tips on how to speak over the phone.
⒈Facial Expressions
Your facial expression can influence your voice. For example, if you smile, your voice will sound warm and friendly, just the opposite, if you have an angry look on your face, it can make you sound unpleasant.
⒉Volume
If you speak too loudly, you could sound angry. And if you speak too softly, it'll be difficult to hear you. So, speak loudly enough to be heard clearly, but not so loud that you're shouting.
⒊Pace
The pace of your voice is how quickly you speak. And this can show how you feel. For example, an angry person might speak faster than normal. Or a downhearted person might speak very slowly. Try speaking a little more slowly than normal. This will make you sound confident, and it'll make it easier for the other person to understand you.
⒋Gestures
Gesturing can influence the tone of your voice. When you gesture, you bring more air into the lungs, which can make your voice sound warmer. Gestures are also useful to help you stress the right words or even find the words you need. The best thing about gesturing during a phone call is that no one can see what you're doing, so you can gesture as wildly as you like!
⒌Movement
If you're feeling nervous, stand up and move around. It will reduce the nervousness in your body and help your voice to sound more confident.
⒍Pauses (停顿)
Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down. This will make you sound more confident and in control. Also, if you pause after giving some new information, it'll give the other person time to understand it. At the same time, listen to how the other person uses pauses. They could tell you something about the speaker's feeling. For example, when a speaker is really angry, he might use pauses and says, "I... am... so... angry..."

Alice's Problem |
I'm Alice. I enjoy going to school more than staying at home. I fought with my mom last week and we shouted at each other. We haven't talked with each other for three days. I know I should talk to her and tell her what I think. But I wouldn't like to do that. I really don't know how to get on well with her. |
|
Different Advice |
I'm Bruce. I think the best way is to tell everything to your mom. She will understand you. You can also ask your friends for help. Try to be happy! Have fun playing games to relax yourself when you're free! |

The word "sharenting" (晒娃) is used to describe that parents share lots of pictures of their children on social media. Should parents ask kids before posting photos and other information about children online? What do you think?
Cindy, 16:
I think parents should ask for permission from their kids before sharing their photos online. Some parents like to share embarrassing(令人尴尬的) photos of their kids. For example, sometimes their kids are sleeping or_____ in the pictures. But most kids don't want these photos to be shared online.
Tom, 17:
I am against sharenting. It is not responsible when parents think so little of their children's privacy (隐私) ; however, much sharenting just seems like fun to them. I've also noticed that some parents like to show off their children. Children may not like that. It's far better to share their happiness in the family than on social media.
Sam, 16:
Parents should be able to share something about their children online, because it shows their love and care for their children. In fact, the sharing of information, pictures and moments on social media can play a role in recording the growth of children. Also, it can help children to behave(表现) well.
Tina, 15:
1 think that sharenting is reasonable. First, sharing children's pictures and news on social media gives parents a way to show their love and pride. It's a record of their lives. Second, when the children are grown, the pictures and other items will seem like treasures to them, leading them to recall their young lives.
