Recharge(充电) Your Body's Battery

My phone is showing that little red low-battery sign. What if I didn't recharge it—no, that would stress me out.

Tell yourself the truth.

When something stressful happens, we often can't help taking a deep breath at first. But we control what happens next. It's possible to work with our stress, rather than against it. Thank it and remind yourself: “My body is producing energy to help me deal with it.”

4.     Write the main point of each part using the key information you just underlined. Your summary should include the basic information without unnecessary details.

Passage 3

Diaries are wonderful articles that allow you to discuss your feelings, write down your dreams or ideas and show your daily life in a safe and private way. But sometimes we don't know how to choose a topic. 1.    

Write about the events of your day. For example, you could write about the English exam you took at school that day. Are you feeling good about the exam? Do you wish you had learned more? Are you nervous to receive your grade?

Record the quote in your diary and note where it comes from. 3.     For example, you might write down a quote like, “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”, which comes from Mark Twain. Write a diary about what this means to you and what things you need to get started on to achieve certain goals.

Explore your favorite subjects or hobbies. Make a list of topics that you love or your favorite hobbies. 4.     As long as they interest and inspire you, they may be put into consideration. Then choose one topic from the list and create a diary about it.
