Last week, we made a survey. Its topic is “To whom you go when you are in trouble”. Here are the results. 50 percent of the students in my class will go to their classmates or friends because they are the same age. They can understand each other easily. 30 percent of the students will tell teachers or parents about their troubles. Teachers and parents have rich experiences and can offer good advice. Only 20 percent of them solve problems by themselves. How about you? To whom would you like to go when you are in trouble?

Mr. and Mrs. Black went to see the movie yesterday evening. They couldn’t leave their son at home alone, because he was only ten months old. They had to take him to the cinema. When they walked in, an office worker stopped them and said, “You’ll have to get out if your little son cries, but you can get all your money back.”
Forty minutes later, Mr. Black asked his wife, “What do you think of the movie?” “It’s too boring!” answered his wife. “I don’t like it, either.” Mr. Black said, “Why not wake up our son and let him cry?”
