    These stories are about events. Reporters try to show all sides of a story to help readers understand what
happened. Reporters try to speak to as many people as possible. They also use pictures and numbers to
convince readers that the stories are true. Teens has lots of news stories on the news page and front page. When
you read stories, you hear about the facts; not the writers' ideas.

their own opinions. Writers choose only the facts that help back up (支持) their ideas. They are trying to

      Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly while you are trying to work? Or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?
      If you do, you need to take control of your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry with
people can cause you to lose friends.
      Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written "My Feelings Just Like Wild Animals" to help
you control your feelings. It tells teens how to stay cool when bad things happen to them.
      The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can never make them better.
      Getting angry is not a natural way to act, the book says. It is just a bad habit, like smoking.
      The book says you can control your anger (怒氣) easily?－all you have to do is tell yourself not to be angry.
      When a baby falls over, it only cries if people are watching it.
      Like a baby, you should only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do.
      The book gives many tips(提示) to help you if you get angry easily. Here are our top three:
      1. Keep a record. Every time you get angry write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see
you get angry too easily.
      2. Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will teach you not to be angry.
      3. Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try
to laugh!
