Students often have a lot of problems and worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their hobbies. What can they do about this?
Simon Luo, a ninth grade student from England, thinks the worst thing is to do nothing. He thinks if you don’t share your problems with someone, you will feel even worse.
Simon’s parents keep asking him to work hard at school lessons. But he loves football very much. He with his friends once played for hours often and never worried about the time. Sometimes they forgot when they should stop, so Simon couldn’t finish his homework.
As a result, He failed (失败) all his exams because of his love of football. Simon felt very upset about this. He told his teacher about the reason. His teacher told him how to carefully plan his time well to keep a balance (平衡) between schoolwork and hobbies. Now Simon believes you cannot feel better unless you talk to someone. Robert Hunt agrees with Simon. He says, “It is best not to run away from our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to.
In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it!

Students often have a lot of problems and worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their hobbies. What can they do about this?
Simon Luo, a ninth grade student from England, thinks the worst thing is to do nothing. He thinks if you don’t share your problems with someone, you will feel even worse.
Simon’s parents keep asking him to work hard at school lessons. But he loves football very much. He with his friends once played for hours often and never worried about the time. Sometimes they forgot when they should stop, so Simon couldn’t finish his homework.
As a result, He failed (失败) all his exams because of his love of football. Simon felt very upset about this. He told his teacher about the reason. His teacher told him how to carefully plan his time well to keep a balance (平衡) between schoolwork and hobbies. Now Simon believes you cannot feel better unless you talk to someone. Robert Hunt agrees with Simon. He says, “It is best not to run away from our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to.
