Some students are talking about doing chores in their homes.

My father is strict with us. He thinks everyone in the family should help out with the chores. My sister and I are our parents’ great helpers. My sister helps to do the dishes and sweep the floor. My job is to take out the rubbish and clean the living room. Jenny

In my family, my brother and I don’t do lots of chores. I only make my bed and my brother folds his clothes. In fact, my mom does most of the chores although she is busy. Many people say my brother and I are spoiled. But my mom thinks children should spend a lot of time studying instead of doing chores. Allen

I have a sister and she is eight years older than me. She is independent and she used to do the chores in my family. But she went to another country to go to college last year. So I took over the job and started to do the chores.

The Smiths woke up earlier than usual. There was something about hiking that made them feel wide awake and excited to start the day as their eyes were open.

The family had a simple breakfast. They discussed the plan for the day at table. “Dad and I looked at a map last night,” said Mrs. Smith. “We found a nearby trail (小径). There are many interesting things along the way, and best of all, there will be a surprise at the end of the trail.”

“What kind of surprise?” asked Jenny. “It won’t be a surprise if we tell you,” laughed her mom. “The sooner you get ready to go, the sooner you’ll find out.”

They set out for hiking soon. It was a good day for seeing wildlife. Along the trail, the trees were filled with kinds of birds flying around. Hearing a noise in the grass, they stopped and saw two rabbits crossing the trail. After a while, Mike noticed several monkeys in the trees and Mr. Smith took photos before they ran away.

Then, they continued their hiking. Jenny and Mike were discussing what kind of snake they had just seen on the way. At this moment, they came to an open area with some small pools. The kids’ eyes grew wide. They looked at their parents.

“Is this the surprise?” asked Mike in excitement.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith smiled as they walked over to one of the small pools. Steam rose into the air. “They’re hot

springs, and the heat is produced from inside the earth,” explained Mr. Smith. “Could we have a bath in the spring if we have our bathing suits?” asked Jenny. Mrs. Smith nodded. “Your bathing suits are in the bag.” She laughed, putting her feet into the spring water.

“I can’t believe it! Mom and Dad. This is a great surprise!” Jenny jumped.

When you are sad, you need to find ways to deal with your sadness. When you learn how to deal with your sadness, you’ll find your own happiness.

Accept your sadness. It’s not a bad thing to feel sad. Try to face what is making you feel sad. Don’t pretend it isn’t there. And don’t believe it will just go away by itself.

Speak about your sadness. You don’t have to tell everybody everything, but it is nice to talk to friends or family about your feelings. You may not need him or her to say a word; just having someone listen to you is sometimes enough.

Put your sadness into written words. Write down how you are feeling every day and why you think you are feeling this way when you are sad. Write down how you deal with your sadness and which ways work.

Take part in activities. Read a good book, listen to music, exercise or take a walk outside. These can help you feel comfortable and forget your sadness.

See a doctor. If your sadness starts to interfere with your everyday life seriously, you should ask your doctor for help.
