A

 If you had to describe yourself to someone else, what would you say? Realising who you are can help you understand feelings and make friends closer.

 Self-awareness (自我认知) means knowing your thoughts, feelings and behavior (行为), and understanding how you fit into the world. If you are self-aware, you may know that you love playing basketball because you are good at it, and music makes you happy.

 Knowing what you like and dislike, what you are expert in and what you find difficult allows you to make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and even which films to watch. Being self-aware doesn't mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you have more understanding for other people, too.

 A good way to learn about something is to ask questions. Ask yourself questions that start with “What” instead of “Why”. So if you don't understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you are arguing.
