Underthe surface of the ground,there's a whole world busy with life A single handful of soil can
nclude quite a lot of micro-organisms ()which help keep soil airy,so roots can grow and water
can run through.Without them,our gardens,farms and forests wouldn't survive.
Healthy soil is like a strong support for life .It holds water after rainfall,prevents floods and stores
mmportant nutrients ()that plants need to grow .It also catches CO2 from the air,helping to slow down
global warming.
When soil becomes unhealthy -because of over-farming,pollution or cutting down too many trees-
it can lose its nutrients and turn dry.That means less food and weakepecosystems.
Taking care of soil helps protect everything that depends on it-including us Avoid throwing plastic
or chemicals into the ground.Plant trees or flowers to stop soil from washing away in the ramn.Every small

Communication between children and parents can sometimes be challenging especially in your
age.But don't worry-you're not alone.Here is some advice.
Listen first
Effective communication begins with listening.Listen actively,nod when needed and think carefully
about what others are saying-these small changes could result in improved communication and reduced
arguments between family members.Even if you disagree,being respectful makes it easier for family
members to pay attention to you as well.26
Express yourself clearly
Shouting or keeping silent won't help your parents understand your fselings.Try"I"statements like,"
I am stressed..."anstead of placing blame on them.27eommunicating your feelings to
parents is not that difficult-the right words and patience can do wonders.
Choose the right time
_28Choose a more relaxing time,such as after dinner,so both of you can feel at ease.
Set healtny boundaries(界限)with respect
29If your parents are breaking the rules such as not respecting your privacy,it's okay to voice
your thoughts in an effective yet gentle way.It's also important to be patient when you discuss your
feelings.
Keep practicing
Rebuilding relationships with your parents is a long-term joumey.Practice makes perfect,so don't
give up.if the situation doesn't improve immediately.30 The more you practice,the.closer your
relationship will become.
A Take a deep breath and calm down before you start talking.
B.Avoid starting discussions when they are tired or busy.
C.Remember not to cut in on others during conversations
Boundaries help create respectful communication.
By speaking up in this manner,parents will listen and respond better
F.Be patient as improvement takes time.
