____2____ I wanted to understand the nature of a culture different from the ones I was familiar with. I wanted to get to know the people and make basic connections. During my stay in France, I maintained a blog and I wrote a lot.
Through my study, I got the chance to talk to the locals and share stories and experiences with my host family. ____3____
Classes were long, homework was pleasantly challenging, but there was plenty of time in that one month of July to explore the city and see France. The food and the trips were by far the best part of my experience. I was in homestay and all my meals were home-made, French and delicious. ____4____ I also got to see places that I had only ever heard about in my studies. Physically going to sights rich in history and beauty was incredible.

Don't expect to have it all.

Anxiety is a normal feeling characterized by worry or fear. For example, if you have a big test, or when you don’t know how an event will turn out, you are likely to be anxious. ____11____ Here are tips to reduce your symptoms（症状）.
*Get the right amount of sleep.

*____13____

Sometimes when you take yourself out of a stressful situation for a while, you can gain a completely new understanding of what’s going on. Try to stop and take deep breaths whenever you start to feel anxious.

On the first day of the food festival, when the bell rang after the last class in the morning, everyone rushed to the booths (摊位) in front of the canteen. ___17___ There was a long line in front of each booth. Everyone sweated in the burning sun, but the heat didn’t stop the students’ enthusiasm for delicious food. Fortunately, I bought a cup of milk tea that I had been longing for in just a few minutes. It tasted even better than I had imagined!
___18___ Without any experience, I chose to try as much food as I could, which gave me so much joy and satisfaction. For example, I fell in love with the crispy durian pastry (榴莲酥) at first bite. ___19___ And I can still remember how exquisite the craftsmanship (技艺) of making Indian pancakes was. However, what impressed me most was in fact the “intangible cultural heritage on the tip of the tongue”.

It can be painful when you feel like your parents are treating your siblings (兄弟姐妹) better than you. If you feel really sad about this, the following steps can help you improve the situation.
____21____
Since we’re all unique, nobody relates to any two people in exactly the same way. Sometimes a parent might appear to favor you in some situations and favor a sibling in others. No parent can be perfect, but they should do their best to be fair. It’s normal for parents to treat each child little differently, because each kid might benefit from a slightly different approach.
Try telling your parents how you feel.
Your goal is to communicate your feelings directly without being rude.____22____For example, saying “I feel ignored ”is better than saying “you’re ignoring me.” You can also say,“I feel left out lately. Sometimes I feel like you're so busy taking care of the baby that you don’t have enough time for me.”
Ask for what you'd like to happen.
____23____This lets them know how they can try to fix the problem. Present an idea that could help. You can say,“Could you please try to show up to more of my games so that I'll feel so happy knowing you’re there to cheer me on.”
Step away if things get heated.
Maybe you or your parents will get angry. It’s hard to have a useful conversation if one or both people are too angry to think straight. If you see this happening, take a break. Do some deep breathing and step away.____24____
Remember that your parents have to make the decision to change.
Sometimes talking about your feelings is enough for them to change their behavior.____25____This typically isn’t your fault (错误). The way they react to an honest conversation says how good they are at parenting, not how good you are at being their child. You can’t change other people. You can only control your own behavior.
A．Other times it isn't.
B．Use “I” language instead of “you” language.
C．Keep in mind that every relationship is different.
D．Remember that you can always try again another day.
E．Understand the situation by talking with your siblings．
F．Tell your parents what would help you feel closer to them.
G．You may feel better if you have another conversation immediately.

Everyone is nervous when they go to an interview for a new job. However, being well-prepared for the interview can really reduce your stress level.___36___ .
“___37___. ” The interviewer’s purpose in asking this question is to get information related to work and job openings. Some people make the mistake of taking this request literally and answering by giving their life history.

“Why do you want to work for this company?”___38___, you are letting the interviewer know that you haven’t done much research about the company or the job you are being interviewed for.

“What are your strengths and what is your biggest weakness?” People have a hard time answering the first question because it feels like boasting (吹嘘) in some ways. ___39___.
