Dear Jin Jing,
Your puzzle is common problem among middle school students.Maybe the following advices can help you.First in all,believe in yourself.Your greatest problem is that you lack self-confidence.The first thing you must do it is to smile at your classmates.One smile speaks loud about your wish to make friends than any word.Your smile will show that you are friendly to him.Next,trying talking with a student who is as shy as you or who share the same interest as you.You can discuss your studies with a classmate and you can also talk about your hobbies, Unless anyone is in trouble,you should be ready to help him or her.Once you have confidence,you can make as many friends as possibly.
Yours,
Lily
MOOC,a massive open online course, 1. (aim)at providing large-scale interactive participation and open access via the web.MOOCs first made waves in the fall of 2011,when Professor Sebastian Thrun from Stanford University opened his graduate-level artificial 2. (intelligent)course up to any student anywhere,and 160,000 students in more than 190 countries 3. (sign)up.This new kind 4. online classes is shaking up the higher education worid in many ways.Since the courses can be taken by hundreds of thousands of students at the same time. 5. number of universities might decrease dramatically.Perhaps the most striking thing about MOOCs,many of 6. are being taught by professors at famous universities,is that they’re free.This is 7. (certain)good news for cash-strapped students.
There is a lot of excitement and fear surrounding MOOCs.While some say free online courses are a great way 8. (increase)the enrollment of minority students,others have said they will leave many students behind.Some critics have said that MOOts promote an unrealistic one-size-fits-all model of higher education 9. that there is no replacement for true dialogues between professors and their students.After all,a brain is not a computer.We are not blank hard drives 10. (wait)to be filled with data.People learn from people they love and remember the things that arouse emotion.
Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do,mine.Her name was Mrs. White.And I thinking she must be some older relation of Walt Disney’s Snow White, she had the same bright blue eyes,short dark hair,red lips and fair skin.
I don't remember much about what we in her class,but my mother once told me that we used to a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many .But no red corrections.And always a star.Sometimes a Good!But it my mother,so one day when she met Mrs.White at a Parent-Teacher meeting,she asked her why she never my mistakes.Why she never red-pencilled in the right of words or pointed out grammatical errors.
And Mrs.White said“The children are just beginning to get about using words,about forming sentences.I don't want to dampen that enthusiasm with ink.Spelling and grammar can wait but the wonder of words …”I grew up learning to use words with loving like that.
I now and think she must have been a rather teacher—to exercise such red-pen restraint(克制),to the joy,wonder and excitement of expression to flower— however faultily—like that,because to bloom is better than not to bloom.
I used to beautiful a lot.Never could quite remember that the e went the a.Eventually the e and a settled into their right places.I am glad I didn’t wait on them though. Pretty is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you sometimes.
And thanks to Mrs.White I felt no about writing what I meant even if I couldn’t quite spell it out.Because Life isn’t Pretty.It’s Beautiful.

Things You Should Insist on No Matter What People Say
Life can get pretty crazy at times. 1. Happiness is dependent upon ourselves,and there are some things in life you should always insist on doing,no matter what others have to say about it.Here is a list of some things you should always do.
1.Learn from your mistakes
No matter what people say,you will make mistakes in your life.Life is a learning process in itself.Some people will make you feel bad about your mistakes,or insult you for making them. 2. Accept your mistakes fully and really figure out what went wrong.
2.Embrace change and creativity
A popular proverb is,“You cannot solve a problem in the same state of consciences that created it.” 3. Change and creativity are vital in today’s world.Things are always changing,so why should we be any different?
3.Appreciate what you have
4. This can take away from our happiness.Sometimes you just need to sit back and be happy about where your life is right now,and what you have to show for it. Sure people might tell you it’s not good enough,but don’t listen to them.It is good enough,and it gives you a sense of pride when you can enjoy the things you already have in life.
4.Listen to your heart
Sometimes you just need to follow your instincts and do what your heart tells you. There are some situations,like relationships,that rely more on your heart than on your head.People will surely tell you differently,but you should always insist on listening to what you want and feel. Again,you are the one who lives with your choices,and you are the one that has to live with the“what ifs.” 5.
Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.However,whether you are on the mountains,in the waves,or on the grassland,you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry.Golf,as you may know,eats up not only large areas of countryside,but also tons of water.Besides,all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition.This causes major environmental effects.For example,in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain,golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes;and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free,power walking can also keep you fit.If you walk regularly,it will be good for your heart and bones.Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious,sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up,you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be“green gyms”.They RYe better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors,in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.And best of all,it’s free.
