Holidays are very popular with students. They expect to relax and do something they like. However, what do holidays really mean to them?

I’m in trouble.
Last week, we had a football match, and we lost. We played well, I think. It was like he wasn’t even on the field!Disappointed by what he did, I said all this to my best friend to let out my anger. But he told everyone else what I’d said. I’m really angry with him. What should I say to him? And should I say something to my teammate?

Reply There is an old American saying, “Loose lips sink ships.” This means that if you speak too much about something, especially to people who you don’t know so well, it’ll cause all kinds of trouble. Maybe now

Reply I was at the game and you did your best. I think it was awful of your teammate not to try his best. You know, teamwork, is very important. If you play, play it well! But I don’t think it’s OK to talk behind his back because it might hurt his feelings. Maybe there is a better way to
solve the problem.
