Dear Erik,
Surprise! I believe you didnt expect a note from your mom in your lunchbox! How is your
school day so far? I hope it is going well. You always do your best. I am proud of you!
Because I had to leave so early this morning, I wrote this note last night and put it into your
lunchbox to wish you well on your speech (演讲) today. With all of your amazing research, writing,
and practice, you are going to do great!
I know that you get a little nervous talking in front of large groups—everybody does. But, just
remember what you practiced and you just might forget about being nervous. Here are just a few
things to remember when you are giving a speech:
① Make eye contact (眼神交流) with your classmates.
② Speak clearly and slowly.
③ Look at your notecards only when you have to.
④ Enjoy yourself! Once you are in front of the class, pretend (假裝) that you are a famous
expert on your topic (话题) and everyone is listening carefully to your EVERY word. (I do that
sometimes!)
Well, thats all for now. I am thinking of you today and I know you will do great. Do your best
and be brave like George Washington. He was an excellent choice for your speech. Good luck Erik!
Maybe we can go out for ice cream after school!

At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV
and social media (社交媒体) can give us improper ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The
truth is that everybody is different—and thats a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our
bodies is really important for our self-confidence (自信).
Body confidence is when someone accepts and is kind towards their body. Jade Parnell from
the Center for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being
accepting of your body and what it does for you”.
If you feel positively (積极地) about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research
has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school.
However, feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and
even feel down.
Its important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image,
Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other peoples bodies. Try not to pay
too much attention to appearance (外貌). Instead, think about what your body does for you: do your
legs make you run really fast?” She also advises looking after your body well by eating different
kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that
you are more than how you look.
( )1. The writer thinks that the pictures on TV and social media.
A. may show everyone is different B. are perfect for people to follow
C. may give wrong ideas of looks D. show people how to be kind
( )2.The underlined word “agitated” probably means “ ” in Paragraph 3.
A. scared B. serious C. careless D. worried
( )3. Parnell will agree that you should.
A. accept your body as it is B. stop talking about others bodies
C. remember what you used to be like D. spend less money on your appearance
( )4. What does the writer mainly advise readers to do?
A. Eat less junk food. B. Be kind to their friends.
C. Take more exercise. D. Build up body confidence.
