It's normal for kids to dislike school occasionally. But if your child is consistently unhappy about going, something needs to be done. Here are some reasons why kids hate school---and somw advice to put them back on the road to success:
Worries
The fear of separation(分离) is likely to keep children from enjoying school. It often happens during times of family stress or when a child is about to enter a new school.
With younger kids, watch how you say good-bye those first few days of school. "Have a great day, and I'll pick you up at 2:30" is much better than "Don't worry, I can be here in ten minutes if you need me."
Teach your children to break large work into pieces and think more positively(乐观), instead of thinking they will fail, encourage them to try their best in their learning. Show you are proud of them when they try their best, no matter what grades they get.
Loneliness
Some kids dislike school because they have no friends. Maybe the child is always alone, He often says that he is ill so that he won’t have to go to school or gives away things of high value to others in order to be liked.
Often loneliness problem can be solved by encouraging their social skills. You can teach your child to look confident by smiling and looking others in the eye when he speaks. Try to find something he is good at and encourage his friends to join in the activity, which then lets him shine. This gives the lonely child a role of importance and helps him build friendships.

If you are really interested in music festivals, then you have probably heard of the Bestival Music Festival. It takes place every September on the Isle of Wight, the UK. As it is at the end of summer, people think it’s their last chance to go to a festival and have fun before going back to boring work.
The dream begins as soon as you start traveling to the island. In order to get to the campsite (营地) of the Bestival, you have to take the ferry (渡轮). The ferry is full of happy festival lovers who are ready to take part in the fantastic music party. After you arrive at the campsite, you can put your tent up. There people talk with each other openly. They are not that cold like those you meet in your everyday life.
The festival lasts for four days. During that time you forget all your worries and problems, just like living in a dream. And it is really hard for you to come back to “reality” after that.
It seems that it is this kind of music event that makes people gather together. It gives people a real sense of unity. I took part in the Bestival with my friends the year before last. It was so exciting and we all lost ourselves in the beautiful music. We are family sung by Sister Sledge was my favorite. I’m really looking forward to joining in it for a second time.

A. On the island. B. On the ferry.
C. In the hotel. D. On the sea.
2. What does the writer think of the people at the Bestival?
A. Crazy. B. Friendly. C. Cold. D. Patient.
3. Why does the writer say being at the Bestival is a dream?
A. Because people can enjoy music there.
B. Because people can get away from work.
C. Because people can play music there.
D. Because people can forget all their problems and worries.
