“Of course I am,” Matt said quietly. He didn’t dare to look at Tom as he spoke. “I’m really sorry about letting everybody down. The other team got those points because of me.”
“Don’t be too hard on yourself!” Tom said. “Although you pushed their player, it was just an accident. Everyone knows that!”
Tom was a good friend. But Matt knew the referee didn’t share Tom’s opinion. When the referee saw Matt push another player, he gave the other team two free throws. Matt was as shocked as anyone else when the accident happened, but it was too late. He couldn’t take it back.

“Listen, Matt,” said Tom, “try to look on the bright side. The other team is the best in our area, but our scores were really close. I’m proud of us, and I know our coach and everyone else in our school are as well.”
Matt felt a bit better. “Thanks，Tom. I guess it’s just hard to lose.”

decision hurt anger relaxed bit negative
Although it is normal to get mad at others from time to time, we should always try our best to control our anger instead of expressing it in bad ways. When we’re mad, we might shout at other people or say mean things to them. After all, anger is like a fire. It can make you hurt others or yourself! Luckily, there are a few simple things you can do to stay calm. For example, try taking a deep breath. That gives you an opportunity to calm down and become a little less angry. You can also take a walk, go for a run, or write about your feelings. Getting angry is normal, but what you choose to do with your anger is up to you!

Dear Mrs Thompson,
I want to thank you for being my teacher. You took the time to help me, although you were so busy.
Your classes always made me happy. l used to think that science was boring and difficult, and I did badly in class. I never liked science until took your class. You encouraged me and made science lessons fun, and slowly, I grew more confident.
I also want to thank you for being kind to me. You helped me a lot, especially after my grandmother passed away. I couldn’t talk about my feelings to anybody until you sat with me during lunch that day. You listened to me and talked with me so that I felt much better. That day will always remain in my mind. Thank you so much for being not only my teacher but also my friend.
Sincerely,

Laughter Is the Best Medicine
Do you often laugh with friends Do you giggle at jokes If you do, that is great, because just as the saying goes: Laughter is the best medicine!
People start laughing from a young age. At around three months old, babies learn to laugh. Even babies that cannot see or hear can laugh. Laughter is a natural part of life! But why is it so important
First of all, laughter is good for our body. When we laugh, our body takes in more oxygen. Every part of our body needs oxygen to work well. Laughter also makes our body work out. Our heart, stomach, and even our shoulders work hard when we laugh! But after we laugh, our muscles feel more relaxed. A good laugh can help you feel relaxed for up to 45 minutes. Over time, laughter helps our body to get stronger, fight off more diseases, and even create special chemicals to help us feel less pain!
Laughter also has many benefits for our mood. When we laugh, it makes us feel less stressed or anxious, and things will not seem so bad. Laughing also causes our brain to release chemicals that make us feel calm and happy. Scientists even think that smiling often is enough to increase these chemicals in our brain.
But it is not always easy to laugh on our own. We are 30 times more likely to laugh when we are around others. According to some scientists, laughter can show others that we want to be close to them. Monkeys clean one another’s fur to show friendship. But people laugh so that others will know that they are being friendly.
Some people even join laughing groups. Although they force themselves to laugh at first, after hearing other people laugh, their laughter becomes real! Before long, the whole group of people is laughing hard.
The next time you feel unhappy, try thinking about something funny. Although you might not want to laugh when you are sad, doing so can make you feel better!
