Do you often have problems in your life? I usually fight with my friends or my parents. After that, I will feel terrible and I don’t take any interest in doing anything. How about you? Do you often get angry? Anger is a kind of feeling.1.When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, or when your friend breaks your favorite thing, you may get really angry.
2.For example, you breathe (呼吸)faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something, but sometimes, you keep your anger inside. The problem is that if you do this, you may get some health problems.
3.But keeping anger inside usually just makes things much worse. So you need to let go out of your anger. Try to let it out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself. When you get anger, you can talk about it with other people. 4.When you talk about it, those bad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start feel angry: you can count from one to one hundred, go for a bike ride, think about good things and so on.
5.So you should think carefully before you take action. Don’t let your anger control you. Try your best to control your anger!
We must learn how to change these “problems” into “challenges(挑战)”.

Last Saturday, I went to the beach with my family. We had a good time there. I found a starfish (海星)on the beach. It was white and very beautiful. After getting home the next day, I wanted to learn about starfish. So I began to read about starfish on the Internet.
Of course, starfish aren’t really stars. They just look like stars. They live in the sea, but they aren’t fish. There are about 1,800 different kinds of starfish living in the sea all over the world. Starfish don’t live in fresh water (淡水). Hundreds of starfish are of different colors. The most common starfish are red, orange or yellow.
Starfish can take care of themselves when they are young. Young starfish know what to eat. Starfish can’t swim. They move by using their arms and tube feet(管足). A starfish has no head. A common starfish has five arms. In fact, not all starfish have five arms. Some have many more. If an arm falls off, it grows right back.
Because of all these things, the starfish is my favorite animal now. I think it’s interesting and fun, so I like it best.
