People disagree sometimes, and that isn’t necessarily a bad thing — you have the right to have a different opinion from your partner(s). What’s important is that you communicate effectively and in a health y way that allows you to understand each other better and make your relationship stronger. The Love Is Respect Youth Council is an organization created in 2020 as a way to directly engage with youth aged 12-17 to address the issues of relationships, including maintaining safety when socializing online, dealing with peer pressure at school and improving relationships with parents. Here are some tips to help resolve conflicts in a healthy way. ●Find the real issue Arguments tend to happen when your wants or needs aren’t being met. Try to get to the real issue behind your argument. It’s possible that you or your partner are feeling insecure or you aren’t being treated respectfully, and are expressing those feelings through arguments over unrelated things. Learn to talk about the real issue, so you can avoid constant fighting that may keep you away from the heart of the problem. ● Compromise when possible Compromise is a major part of conflict resolution and any successful relationship, but it can be hard to actually achieve. Take turns making decisions about things like what to eat for dinner, or find a middle ground that allows you both to feel satisfied with the outcome. ●Consider it all If the issue you’re arguing over changes how you feel about each other or forces you to compromise your beliefs or morals, it’s important that you stress your position. If not, consider your partner’s views on the issue, why they’re upset, and if compromise is appropriate. Try to contextualize your arguments to give each other room to express your feelings.

Robots are fun to play with, but did you know that they are equally fun to build? Don’t worry, it’s easier than you may think. You don’t have to know lots about electronics or be a genius at engineering to have a go at creating your own robot. There are lots of simple kits (配套原件) and resources available that make it easy to build a robot in your own home, and if you don’t feel confident enough to have a go at home, there are plenty of clubs that offer courses in robot-building for young people. ◇Why to build? “Creating a robot teaches you in great about how it is put together and how it works, ” says Steve Hubbard, of Robot Fun, which hosts robotics master classes for teens in Suffolk. “As you build and test a robot, you also learn how to fix it when things go wrong, as they always do.” Building and programming a robot is a practical application of science and engineering and a great way of learning how to solve all sorts of problems. You don’t need any special skills. If you can build with Lego or draw a line, you can build and program a robot. ◇How to start? Matthew Applegate runs the Creative Computing Club in Ipswich, Suffolk. He says, “The Lego Robots kits are amazing. You can use cardboard, glue sticks and string to make a prototype (雏形).” Some kits can be expensive but there are ways to build your robots using things around the house. You can build an arm with cardboard, straws and string, adding it to a low-cost kit. Building robots is really great. It isn’t easy at first, but when you get better, you will be surprised how much you can do. Come to get your first robot kit and make it whirr into life! ▶ For details on how to build a Raspberry Pi buggy: tinyurl.com/TW J-robotbuggy ▶ For details on how to join a robot club: tinyurlcom/TW J-members ▶ For more information on kits and classes: tinyurl.com/TW J-resources ▶ For more information on robots and their history: tinyurl.com/TW J-realrobots 1．What do you need to build a robot at home?

Our goal is to assist households in reducing their environmental footprint by providing step-by-step instructions on effective recycling practices. Understanding Recycling Types Every city has its own recycling standards, but the followings are generally universal: Plastics: These include bottles, containers, and other packaging materials. Always clean plastics before recycling to avoid pollution. Paper: Newspapers, magazines, and cardboard are recyclable. However, soiled or wet paper should be discarded as regular waste. Glass: Bottles and jars of all colors can be recycled. Ensure they are free of food waste. Metals: Common recyclables are aluminum cans and tin foil (锡纸). Remove any food waste before disposal (处理). Steps for Effective Home Recycling Collection: Use separate bins for each type. Mark containers to avoid confusion (迷惑). Preparation: As mentioned above, clean the items. This prevents waste and increases the recyclability of the materials. Storage: Avoid overfilling recycling bins. Overpacked bins might lead to improper sorting at recycling facilities. Drop-Off: If your city doesn’t offer roadside pickup, locate your nearest recycling drop-off point. Stay Informed: Recycling guidelines can change. Regularly check city websites for “Clean & Green” updates. Recycling DOs and DON’Ts DO encourage neighbors and friends to adopt recycling habits. DON’T mix different types in one bin. DO invest in composting if possible; it’s another great way to reduce waste. DON’T recycle dangerous or electronic waste with regular recyclables. Ask your city for proper disposal methods. Benefits of Recycling: Reduces landfill (垃圾填埋) waste. Conserves natural resources and energy. Prevents pollution by reducing the need for raw materials (原材料).

By conflict, we specifically mean verbal disagreements and arguments.

What’s important is that you communicate effectively and in a health y way that allows you to understand each other better and make your relationship stronger. The Love Is Respect Youth Council is an organization created in 2020 as a way to directly engage with youth aged 12-17 to address the issues of relationships, including maintaining safety when socializing online, dealing with peer pressure at school and improving relationships with parents. Here are some tips to help resolve conflicts in a healthy way. ●Find the real issue Arguments tend to happen when your wants or needs aren’t being met. Try to get to the real issue behind your argument. It’s possible that you or your partner are feeling insecure or you aren’t being treated respectfully, and are expressing those feelings through arguments over unrelated things. Learn to talk about the real issue, so you can avoid constant fighting that may keep you away from the heart of the problem. ● Compromise when possible Compromise is a major part of conflict resolution and any successful relationship, but it can be hard to actually achieve. Take turns making decisions about things like what to eat for dinner, or find a middle ground that allows you both to feel satisfied with the outcome. ●Consider it all If the issue you’re arguing over changes how you feel about each other or forces you to compromise your beliefs or morals, it’s important that you stress your position. If not, consider your partner’s views on the issue, why they’re upset, and if compromise is appropriate. Try to contextualize your arguments to give each other room to express your feelings.

Robots are fun to play with, but did you know that they are equally fun to build? Don’t worry, it’s easier than you may think. You don’t have to know lots about electronics or be a genius at engineering to have a go at creating your own robot. There are lots of simple kits (配套原件) and resources available that make it easy to build a robot in your own home, and if you don’t feel confident enough to have a go at home, there are plenty of clubs that offer courses in robot-building for young people. ◇Why to build? “Creating a robot teaches you in great about how it is put together and how it works, ” says Steve Hubbard, of Robot Fun, which hosts robotics master classes for teens in Suffolk. “As you build and test a robot, you also learn how to fix it when things go wrong, as they always do.” Building and programming a robot is a practical application of science and engineering and a great way of learning how to solve all sorts of problems. You don’t need any special skills. If you can build with Lego or draw a line, you can build and program a robot. ◇How to start? Matthew Applegate runs the Creative Computing Club in Ipswich, Suffolk. He says, “The Lego Robots kits are amazing. You can use cardboard, glue sticks and string to make a prototype (雏形).” Some kits can be expensive but there are ways to build your robots using things around the house. You can build an arm with cardboard, straws and string, adding it to a low-cost kit. Building robots is really great. It isn’t easy at first, but when you get better, you will be surprised how much you can do. Come to get your first robot kit and make it whirr into life! ▶ For details on how to build a Raspberry Pi buggy: tinyurl.com/TW J-robotbuggy ▶ For details on how to join a robot club: tinyurlcom/TW J-members ▶ For more information on kits and classes: tinyurl.com/TW J-resources ▶ For more information on robots and their history: tinyurl.com/TW J-realrobots 1．What do you need to build a robot at home?
