Sometimes we feel good, such as when we get good grades or when something good happens. Sometimes we feel bad, such as when we argue（争吵） with our classmates or when the teachers criticize(批评)us. Both kinds of feelings are normal(普通的). Of course, we all enjoy good feelings, but when we feel unhappy, sometimes we don’t know what to do about it. Here is a plan that will help you when your feelings are bothering you.
1. ACCEPT your feelings. Say to yourself, "I am sad." "I am scared." "I am angry." "I am embarrassed（尴尬）." It’s all right to have these feelings.
2. RELAX and have a rest before you act. Take slow deep breaths (呼吸)and relax your body. Imagine that you are in a safe place. You could listen to some music or sing a beautiful song!
3. THINK about ways to help yourself. Thinking helps you do something smart instead of hurting yourself or making things worse.
4. DO something to help yourself. Maybe you can talk to someone, or do something you enjoy. If it doesn’t work, go back to step 3.If you want to relax yourself, you can _________.
| A．say to yourself, "I am sad." |
| B．listen to some music or sing a beautiful song |

Today Chinese people can enjoy longer and more holidays, such as the two“Gold Week Holidays” — the Spring Festival, National Day and Mid-autumn Festival and so on. They have more time to travel. Rising incomes(收入)also make it possible for ordinary(普通的) Chinese people to travel abroad .
Zhang Haitao, a middle school student in Shanghai will go to Japan with his parents during the Spring Festival. “Overseas(海外) touring has always been a dream of mine ,”Zhang Haitao said. “ How will you go to Japan, by air or by ship?” I asked him. “By ship. Traveling by ship is more enjoyable than a rushed trip by air.”“But a plane is much faster than a ship. ”“Yes. but you can’t see much during the flight while a sea trip will make you happier, because you can see waves, islands and even big fish.”
"Will you travel at your own expense(费用) ?"
"Certainly. Though my father’s job is to recycle rubbish, I’m very proud of him. He has saved lots of money in the last three years. What’s more, he has made a contribution（贡献）to protecting our environment.”Now it is possible for the Chinese people to travel abroad（国外）because of _______

To end the letter, we usually use words like "Yours”, “Yours ever" or "Truly yours".
