I lived in a big city. It’s noisy arid dirty and I got very tired. At the weekends I like to leave the city and get some fresh air and a good rest. A few weekends ago 1 decided to see my parents. I was really looking forward to it.
My parents live a long way away. I went to see them with James, a friend, and we drove down on Friday night. In the middle of the trip it began to rain. The roads became very wet and it was difficult to drive. We arrived home just after midnight, feeling tired. The next morning it was still raining. James took his car to the local garage which was very good.
In the afternoon the weather became better. We wanted to go for a drive. My parents lent us their car. That was no good. Their car didn’t work! We rang the garage. “Oh, no.” they said, “your car won’t be ready until tomorrow.” So it wasn’t possible to go for a drive. We decided to play a word game. When we didn’t agree about a word we looked for a dictionary. It wasn’t there. Suddenly my mother remembered. “I lent it to your sister. She took it with her when she left.” The word game wasn’t any good without a dictionary.
On Sunday my mother dropped a suitcase on her foot and wig had to hire a taxi to take her to hospital. When James and I drove back we got stuck in a traffic jam (交通阻塞). Next time I want to have a rest. I’ll stay in the city!

I have two fathers, a rich one and a poor one. One is high educated and intelligent, who completed four years of undergraduate work in less than two years. He them went on Stanford University. The other father never finishes the eighth grade. Therefore, both men are successful in their careers, work hard all their lives. Yet one struggles financially all his life. The other becomes one of the richest men in the Hawaii. And they have very different point of view about the subject of money. The contrast in our points of view is so extreme that we grow puzzling sometimes. I have to spend periods of time figuring out how each is saying.

How to Build a Student’s Self-Confidence
Educating students means more than giving them academic knowledge. Simply knowing a correct response doesn’t give a student the confidence to raise his hand to answer a question. Students perform best in constructive learning environments.1.
Provide leadership opportunities for students. Cultivate (培养) important characteristics, including responsibility and independence by assigning students to take different classroom roles. Suitable jobs include hall monitors, audio-visual assistants and classroom helpers. 2.
Set achievable goals for each student. 3.Engage in ongoing dialogue regarding your expectations and their individual progress. Reward students for meeting challenges, while persuading struggling students back on track.
Give constructive feedback to help reduce weaknesses and strengthen strengths. Teach students that self-confidence isn’t built from being harmed by praise. Remain honest with each student to encourage them to speak out their problems, instead of avoiding or denying their existence. Make corrections without damaging your students’ confidence.
Encourage students to set high standards for themselves. 4.Reinforce(强化) this message with age-appropriate examples and literature. Provide consistent encouragement to students to show your commitment to their success.
5.Realize that conquering difficult tasks builds mental toughness and fosters persistence. Relay this message to your students by asking each one to write a goal that focuses on improving a weak area. Help your students develop relevant attack plans.
A. Push students to improve their weaknesses.
B. Self-confidence games can help students of all ages.
C. Reassure students that they are capable of achieving greatness.
D. You can ease students’ insecurities with various activities that build confidence.
E. They are especially useful in helping young children build success for their future.
F. Realize that overcoming self-doubt to achieve objectives helps build students’ confidence.
G. Mastering some duties can help build confidence and erase fear of trying new experiences.
