Rich or poor, young or old, we all have problems. We can easily become unhappy 1 we solve our problems. 2 about our problems can affect how we do things at school or at home. So how do we deal with our problems?
Most of us have probably been angry 3 our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didn't like, or you felt they were unfair. Sometimes, people can stay angry for years about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendships may 4.
When we are angry, however, we are usually the ones affected (影响). Have you ever seen young children playing together? But they fight very soon, and decide not to talk to each other. However, this usually doesn't 5 for long. They become good friends again. This is an important 6 for us: we can solve a problem by learning to forget.
Many students often complain about school. They might feel they have too much work to do sometimes, or think the rules are too 7.We must learn how to change these "problems" into "challenges (挑战)". As young adults, it is our duty 8 our best to deal with challenges with the help of our teachers.
By comparing yourself to other people, you will find your problems are not so 9. Think about Stephen Hawking. For example, a very clever scientist. He can't walk or even speak, but he regards his many physical problems as unimportant. Now he is known 10 a great scientist in the world. We are probably quite healthy and smart. Let's not worry about our problems. Let's face the challenges instead.
On a farm lived a father and a son. The father always got up early and read books by the stove. One morning, the son came up to him and said, "Dad, I read books at night but forget most of them the next morning. What's the good of reading?"
The father didn't reply to his question at once. He passed him a basket that was used to carry coal. He said, "Get some water from the river with the basket and then I'll tell you the answer."
The son felt surprised but he did as his father said. He tried many times but every time the water leaked (漏掉) from the basket.
An hour later, the son came back with the empty basket and told his father it was impossible to hold water with the basket. The father said with a smile, "Yes, you are right, my son. The basket can't hold water. But did you notice the basket was different? "The son found the dirty basket had become clean. The father continued, "Reading is like holding water with the basket. Although we can't remember all we read, we have changed while reading."
There is an old Chinese saying, "If someone gives you a little drop of water, you should return a spring of water". That means if someone helps you a bit, you should remember it and thank them gratefully (感激的) in return.
We should live in a world of gratitude. We should prove (证明) it with actions, not just words. We thank people who hurt us, because they teach us important things. We thank people who give us up, because we learn how to be independent. We thank people who selfish (自私的), because we learn the importance of being kind. Of course, we should thank people who help us. We should thank people who teach us. We should thank people who care about us.
We thank our parents. They work hard all the time in order to give their sons and daughters a better life. They cook meals for us, they do the chores for us, they always give us food and clothes, they teach us what is right and what is wrong.
We thank our teachers who give us dreams. They teach us a lot of things but they ask for nothing from us. We are well-educated of them.
There are a lot of people that we should be grateful to in our life. We should find a way to thank them.

Some advice for safety:
①Always play in a safe place. A park is a safe place because there are no cars or trucks. But do not talk to anyone you do not know. Never go with a stranger into a motor car.
②Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways. Look left, look right, and look left again.
③Keep away from houses or buildings that are being built or knocked down. Something might fall on your head, or you might cut yourself on broken glass.
④Medicines or pills can be dangerous. Never swallow (吞下) any pills or medicines you find in the cupboard.
⑤Wear a life jacket whenever you go out in a boat, Even if you are not in the open sea and the water is not deep, you should have your life jacket on. It's easy to fall out of boat.

The Internet is becoming more and more popular. It brings us a lot of fun and convenience, 但它也引起一些新的问题。Children like the Internet. They would rather communicate with others online than talk with their parents.
On the one hand, in my opinion, the Internet brings people closer. On the other hand, 如果我们花太多的时间在网络上， we will have less time with our families and friends in the real world.
Parents are always staying with us. So why not talk to them face to face when we have problems. If so, I'm sure that we can get on well with our parents.
In Western countries, most children get pocket money by doing some chores at home. They usually start to do chores at the age of ten. School students have to do their homework and study for test, so they don't have a lot of free time on weekdays and they often do some chores on weekends.
Young kids can only do easy chores, so they don't get much money. But many of them only want to buy candy. And candy is cheap! They do the dishes after dinner and feed the pet cat or dog. Sometimes they water flowers and other plants in the garden.
When kids get older, they want to buy more things. They want something more expensive than candy. Then they have to work harder. They often wash the car, cut the grass of feed the dog.
Some chores can help kids learn new things. It is important for kids to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework.
