Students these days often have a lot of worries.Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends.What can they do about this?
学生们经常有许多问题和担心。有时候学生们有关于学业方面的问题。有时候有关于朋友方面的问题。关于此类问题,学生们能做什么呢?
Some people believe the worst thing is to do nothing."Problems and worries are normal in life," says Laura.Laura Mills, a teenager from London, agrees."But I think talking to someone helps a lot. Unless we talk to someone, we'll certainly feel worse."Laura once lost her wallet, and worried for days.She was afraid to tell her parents about it.She even walked threemiles to school each day because she didn't have any money.She just kept thinking, “If I tell my parents, they'll be angry!”In the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding.Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself.They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful."I will always remember to share my problems in the future!" Laura says.
一些人认为放任不管是最糟糕的事。来自伦敦的一个青少年劳拉·米尔斯也这样认为。劳拉说:”问题和担心在生活中是很正常的。但是我认为与人交谈帮助很大。如果我们不与人交谈,我们必定会感觉更糟。” 劳拉弄丢了钱包,担心了好多天。她不敢把丢钱包的事告诉父母。因为没钱,她甚至每天步行三英里路去上学。她只是一直在想,”如果我告诉父母丢了钱包,他们会很生气!”最后,她把丢钱包的事告诉了父母,他们很理解她。爸爸说他自己有时也粗心犯错误。她的父母给她买了个新钱包,告诉她要更加小心。劳拉说:”我以后会一直记得与别人分享我的问题!”。
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems.He feels the same way as Laura."It is best not to run away from our problems. We should always try to solve them."He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to.This person doesn't need to be an expert like himself.Students often forget that their parents have more experience, and are always there to help them.In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half.So you're halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it!
罗伯特·亨特就一些常见问题给学生们提出了建议。他和劳拉感觉一样。“最好不要逃避问题。我们要尽力解决问题。”他认为解决问题的第一步是找到你信任并能与之交谈的人。这个人没必要一定是像他自己这样的专家。学生们经常忘记他们的父母有更多的经验,愿意随时帮助他们。在英语中,我们说把问题分享出来就成功了一半。所以告诉别人你的问题,问题就解决一半了。
