Feeling left out?
A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around. Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends. But how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with. Act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she left. You can introduce her to your new friends!

Which hand do you use when you eat, write and carry things? If your answer is your left hand, then happy Left-handers Day to you on August 13. The day came into our life in 1976. It was to let more people know the life problems of left-handers. They had to get used to using right-handed things.
In the past, some parents thought that it was bad if their kids were left-handed. And they might ask them to use their right hands. However, it is not bad to be a left-hander now. The left side of our brain is where we deal with problems. The right side of our brain is where our creativity comes from. Right-handers usually use the left side of the brain more than the right side. But left-handers seem to use both sides more evenly(平均地) than right-handers. So some scientists say that these left-handers are more creative and more imaginative.
Although there are fewer left-handed people in the world, some of them are geniuses. German-born US scientist Albert Einstein, British physicist Isaac Newton and British biologist Charles Darwin are some famous left-handers. At least six US presidents were left-handed, such as Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Former Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao is also a left-hander. But left-handers need to be careful when they go to countries like Indonesia. People there think their left hands are unclean because they use them when visiting the toilet. So Indonesians never use their left hands to eat.
