A If you or your friends dislike school,try to do the following things and it can help you.

First,write down everything you don't like about school. Then make a list (清單) of the good things you enjoy. Even if (即使) it's the lunch,that's a start!

Now,you should think what you can change on the “don't like” list? Here are some examples. Can you get help with school work if that's hard? Do you have a friend to talk with when you meet a problem? Could you find a way to tell others your special interests? If you made just one new friend,would you feel less lonely (孤單) ？

Which activities could you try to help you meet new friends? Of course,you might not be able to change everything on your “don't like” list. A bully (恃強凌弱) can not disappear (消失) . Reading may always be hard work but that's OK. Focus on (關(guān)注) what you can change and you might love school again!

To train your dog to sit,just give him a treat—a piece of dog food will work,say “sit ,” hold it up and move it back over his head. Most dogs will just sit so they can watch the food. When the dog sits,give him the treat and say “good sit."
