• 1、I think I'm worried about almost everything. At my age, I know how important grades are — they can decide which high school I'll get into, not to mention the stress from applications and interviews. Still, grades can feel unimportant sometimes, since good scores only come from hard work and giving up free time.

    What I truly care about is keeping my friendships and joining the after-school activities I love. I don't want to choose between schoolwork and the people who study and have fun with me, because these connections help me deal with other worries. I also fear having no one to rely on. I need real, trustworthy support that won't leave me behind.

    —Clotilde Dumont, 13, City of London School for Girls, the UK

    In high school, my worries cover both personal things (family, friendships, school pressure) and big global (全球的) problems that I once thought had nothing to do with me. Some countries are stuck in wars, while others ignore plans that pollute the ocean. I think people often waste time arguing over small things but forget urgent topics like the environment and unfair political control. Joining Model United Nations made me see these global issues clearly, and their complexity (复杂性) really upset me. The way to ease this anxiety is to reflect, learn, and become a more well-rounded person.

    —Zhang Zhehan, 14, Nanjing Foreign Language School, Jiangsu

    I often feel anxious when thinking about the present and future. Now that I'm in Grade 9, everything feels overwhelming: endless texts to memorize, piles of homework to finish, and non-stop exams. I'm worried I won't improve even if I try my best, and I usually hide my weak resilience (恢复力) and exam stress inside.

    Luckily, nothing is fixed. Sharing these worries with others is better than letting them explode in anger. With strong willpower, I'll become a better version of myself while dealing with anxiety. At least the world still has so much to offer, and my family, friends and teachers are always there to give advice and help me relax on my life journey.

  • 2、Literature (文学) is more than just a school subject; it's a gate to different worlds, ideas, and feelings. For teenagers, reading literature offers many advantages that help develop our thinking and personal growth.

    Literature helps us understand life better. Stories, novels and poems let us experience different cultures, histories, and points of view. Through literature, we learn about the lives of people in other places, whether it's a Chinese classic (经典) or a famous Western novel. These books also teach us about human emotions — love, sadness, anger and joy. By seeing how characters deal with these feelings, we learn how to deal with them ourselves.

    Besides understanding life, literature also improves our language skills. Reading a lot of books introduces us to new words and phrases, which makes us better at expressing our thoughts and ideas. The more we read, the more we pick up different ways to speak and write. This helps us not only in school, but also in everyday communication.

    Another great thing about literature is how it encourages us to think deeply. For example, when we read, we might wonder why a character makes a certain choice or what the story really means. This helps us think carefully about situations and solve problems. These skills are useful in many parts of life, from school to making personal decisions.

    Literature also has the power to encourage. Many great stories are filled with characters who face challenges, overcome difficulties and follow their dreams. By reading about these characters, we are reminded of our own powers and the importance of never giving up.

    Literature is much more than just reading for school. It helps us understand the world, express ourselves better, think more deeply, and find encouragement to live our lives with courage and hope.

  • 3、"Take a seat, kids!" Miss King announced. As kids ran towards the campfire, Miss King turned to Quill, "I'll leave for a while, just bring the kids watermelons and tell them a story." "Sure." said Quill, his hands becoming wet. Quill was good at showing kids how to climb rocks, but he was not a good storyteller.

    Quill asked in a low voice, "What kind of story do you like?" A boy named Caden answered, "A ghost story!" Alice rolled her eyes and other kids also shouted, "Quill will tell a lovely story, Caden." "A ghost story!" Caden insisted. Just then, Quill felt a pull from Emma, the quietest in the group, "I'm afraid of ghost stories."

    "What am I going to tell?" Quill thought and then said slowly, "I'm going to tell…a…a toast story." Caden protested. "A toast story? I want a ghost story!" "You'll see," Quill said, "Long long ago, there was a piece of bread... named Bob." Some kids smiled. Quill talked faster, "One day, Bob was put onto a wooden platform. Bob started crying." "Bread can't cry!" Caden shouted. Quill's ears turned red.

    "What happened next?" Emma asked. Quill had no idea, but he quickly looked at Caden, "Caden is going to tell us." Caden sat up, "Am I?" "Yes, it's a group story." Quill answered.

    "A knife!" Alice shouted. "Alice, it's your turn." Quill said. Alice added, "Then something dropped. The knife spread it all over Bob." "Salad cream." said Emma and pulled Quill's T-shirt. Alice continued, "Suddenly, a giant hand lifted Bob towards a big hole. Bob screamed, ‘Help!' "

    Caden wanted to cut in, but Alice stopped him. Quill smiled at Emma. Emma took a deep breath, and said, "Bob screamed again. The hand was surprised and dropped Bob. Bob ran away."

    "So, the bread is free." Caden cut in.

    "Not finished!" Emma shouted, "Just then, a bread truck appeared. Bob ran towards it. But something big followed him."

    "What was that?" a kid asked. Emma sat forward. Caden could feel his own breath, as if he was also there with Bob. SNAP! Emma clapped her hands. Everyone jumped up and asked, "What happened?" "A dog ate him." Emma said, laughing.
