When you stay away from your home for a long time, you start to miss your good old bed, your good old parents. Believe it or not, you’re feeling homesick (想家的).

You can look at them any time you want.
The busier you are, the less time you’ll have to feel homesick. Spend your free time on music, sports or books. Try to join in activities wherever you are.
You can make a plan for when you’ll call your mum or dad. You can also keep in touch with family and friends by emails or text messages.
Sometimes, telling someone that you’re feeling a little homesick will help you feel better. Maybe you can tell a friend that you feel homesick and the two of you can do something fun.
