The neck of four-footed animals is usually long, to have them reach their food without difficulty, but the elephant has a short neck, to make him more easily support the weight of his huge head and heavy teeth. His long trunk lets him get his food easily. The trunk of an elephant is to him what the neck is to other animals. It is also a nose to him, for at the end of it there is a empty place like a cup, and in the bottom of the cup are two holes, and the animal smells and breathes through them. It is an arm and a hand too, so that it has been said that the elephant carries his nose in his hand, and it might also have been said that he breathes by his hand.

Students these days often have a lot of worry. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. How can they deal these problems? Laura Mills, the teenager from London, says, “I think talking to someone help a lot. If we talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel better than we don't.” Laura once loses her wallet, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it for several days. In the end, she talked to her parents and we were really understanding. They got her a new wallet and asked her to be most more careful. “I will always remember share my problems in the future!” Laura says. Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to. In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cut it in half.
