Everybody gets stressed from time to time.Some ways of dealing with stress—like screaming or hitting someone—don’t solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
(1) Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.
(2) Don’t take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that’s not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don’t take it out on yourself.
(3) Try to solve the problem. After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friends, it’s time to get down to business. Even if you can’t solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.
(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.
These steps aren’t magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make

Imagination is the ability to form a mental image of something that is not perceived (感知) through the five senses. It gives the ability to look at any situation from a different point of view, and to mentally explore the past and the future.
Though too much daydreaming may make one impractical, a certain degree of daydreaming provides temporary happiness, calmness and relief from stress.
Imagination is not limited only to seeing pictures in the mind. It includes all the five senses and the feelings. One can imagine a sound, a taste, a smell, a physical sensation or a feeling. Others find it easier to imagine a feeling. And some are more comfortable imagining the sensation of one of the five senses.
A developed and strong imagination never makes you impractical. And it is a great tool for recreating and remodeling your world and life.
Imagination has a great role and value in everyone’s life. It is much more than just idle (懒散的) daydreaming. For example, we use our imagination whenever we plan a party, trip, our work or a meeting. We use it when we describe an event, write a story or cook a cake.
