UNIT 2 How do you study for a test?

[00:09.13]How do we deal with our problems?

[00:13.14]Section 1 Before You Read

[00:17.64]PAIRWORK

[00:19.10]1a Can you think of any problems you have had

[00:22.05]recently?

[00:23.47]Tell a partner how you dealt with them.

[00:27.42]1b Look up the meaning of each word in the box

[00:31.59]in a dictionary.

[00:32.98]deal  unless    unfair   affect   solve

[00:41.03]challenge       regard    smart   duty  instead

[00:49.87]Section 2  While You Read

[00:53.65]Learning strategy:

[00:56.11]USING DICTIONARIES

[00:58.60]Dictionaries are useful learning tools,

[01:01.85]but many English words have different meanings

[01:04.98]and usages 1.

[01:06.77]We need to make sure that the definitions we

[01:10.24]find in dictionaries match the context 2.

[01:15.41]How do we deal with our problems?

[01:18.12]Rich or poor,young or old,we all have problems.

[01:23.11]And unless we deal with our problems,

[01:25.69]we can easily become unhappy.

[01:28.74]Worrying about our problems can affect how we do

[01:31.28]at school.

[01:32.74]It can also influence the way we behave with our

[01:35.45]families.

[01:36.93]So how do we deal with our problems?

[01:39.88]There are many ways.

[01:42.34]By learning to forget

[01:44.98]Most of us have probably been angry with our

[01:47.22]friends,parents or teachers.

[01:49.96]Perhaps they said something you didn't like,

[01:52.56]or you felt they were unfair.

[01:55.53]Sometimes,people can stay angry for years about

[01:58.18]a small problem.

[02:00.01]Time goes by,and good friendships may be lost.

[02:04.86]When we are angry however,

[02:06.20]we are usually the ones affected 3.

[02:09.15]Perhaps we have seen young children playing

[02:11.19]together.

[02:12.57]Sometimes they have disagreements and decide not

[02:15.62]to talk to each other.

[02:17.61]However,this usually does not last for long.

[02:21.26]This is an important lesson for us:

[02:24.14]we can solve a problem by learning to forget.

[02:28.50]By regarding problems as challenges

[02:32.57]Many students often complain about school.

[02:35.93]They might feel they have too much work to do

[02:37.94]sometimes,or think the rules are too strict.

[02:41.91]We must learn how to change these "problems"

[02:44.34]into "challenges".

[02:46.45]Education is an important part of our

[02:48.71]development.

[02:50.25]As young adults,it is our duty to try our best

[02:53.34]to deal with each challenge in our education

[02:56.07]with the help of our teachers.

[02:59.63]By thinking of something worse

[03:03.05]By comparing yourself to other people,

[03:05.27]you will find your problems are not so terrible.

[03:08.85]Think about Stephen Hawking,for example,

[03:11.42]a very clever scientist,

[03:12.90]who regards his many physical problems as

[03:16.01]unimportant.

[03:17.41]He can't walk or even speak,

[03:19.66]but he has become very famous and successful.

[03:23.61]We are probably quite healthy and smart.

[03:26.35]Let's not worry about our problems.

[03:29.04]Let's face the challenges instead.

[03:32.23]Section 3 After You Read

[03:36.33]3a Look at the words from 1b again.

[03:41.01]Check(√) the words that were used differently

[03:43.85]from the definition you found in the dictionary.

[03:47.50]deal   unless   unfair   affect  solve

[03:55.55]challenge       regard   smart   duty  instead

[04:04.61]3b  Look up the following words in a dictionary.

[04:09.41]Write out the example given for the context used

[04:13.26]in the reading.

[04:15.97]3c  Scan 4 the reading,and check(√)the ways of

[04:21.09]dealing 5 with problems that are mentioned.

[04:25.48]Section 4  Go For It!

[04:29.21]Look at the reading again.

[04:31.51]Which way of dealing with problems do you think

[04:34.31]is the best?

[04:36.14]Write about a time when you dealt with a problem

[04:39.66]this way.

[04:42.18]If you have time!

[04:45.05]Think of another way of dealing with problems.

[04:48.59]Tell a partner about this.

[04:50.21]
