Everyone has worries, but what do you do with your worries? Whether your worries are
big or small, you can take three steps to deal with them.
Try to find out the causes.
1. Sometimes you know it, but sometimes you might not. If you can’t make sure what your worries are, you will have more and more new problems in your life. So remember that you must try to find out the causes before you start to deal with them even though it might not be so easy.
2.
There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problem. 3.. If you’re worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:
·How do I get ready for class? Do I review my notes even when there isn’t a test?
·Do I have a good place to do my homework?
·4.
If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do—write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her etc. . Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.
Ask for help.
When you are worried, you need to find someone to communicate with.
5.They will help you analyze(分析)your problems carefully and solve them easily.
A. Have I tried different ways of studying?
B. Grades at school are often a top worry for students.
C. Think of the ways to improve grades.
D. You can ask your parents, friends, or teachers for help.
E. How can I improve my grades?
F. Think of the ways to make it better.
G. The first step is to find out what you’re worried about.
The biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a hiking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.
The portable(手提的) washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration(灵感) from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag’s design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.
Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a flaw(缺点) with his invention – dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.
In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out(挤出去) and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! What’s even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13-liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.
The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!
