Job interviews can be very different from country to country. An interviewer's "body language" and questions, and the form of an interview are not the same around the world.

    If you are at a job interview in Japan, don't look directly into the eyes of the interviewer. It is considered impolite. But if you are at an interview in the US, you should make eye contact with the interviewer. If you don't, the interviewer may think you are not sure about your ability.

    In the US and some other countries, interviewers aren't supposed to ask questions about family and personal information. In more countries, interviewers aren't supposed to ask questions about family and personal information. In more countries, personal questions are very common during job interviews.

And many models in magazines, newspapers, and 5 the Internet have their hair cut to look perfect. But these pictures and people are not realistic (现实的) at all!

    Instead, look around the people you see every day 6. How do your family members look like? Are they really thin? 7 other healthy and "normal" people can help you to feel better about your body.

    Feeling that you are overweight, underweight, too short, or too tall doesn't necessarily mean there is anything wrong with your 8. These feelings may simply mean that you need a little bit of self-esteem (自尊). This means you should 9 to feel good about yourself and the way you are now.

    A 12-year-old user n Elsa has up to 2.7 million followers on Tik Tok. The girl has shared videos about her dancing studies since last July. One of the videos won her about one million fans. "I feel really happy to go on sharing (happy) with other people by short videos," said Elsa.

How To Keep Us Safe

    Safety is the most important to us all. As teenagers, we must learn to protect ourselves.

    There used to be many beautiful flowers in our garden. Among them was a beautiful blue flower. My husband once told me that it only bloomed(开花) in spring and the sun in summer was too hot for it. When summer came, he would move it out of the garden and put it inside our house.

    Once, my husband was away for some time on business, so I had to take care of the flowers. Before leaving, he told me to pay special attention to the blue flower. I planned to look after it as my husband had ever done, but I was too busy to remember it. One weekend when I wanted to move the blue flower into the house, I found that it had already died. I was very sad and regretted not taking good care of it earlier.

    A week ago, my husband's elder sister, Linda, died of a serious stomach illness. Linda was much older than my husband. Maybe because of the age gap(差距), we were not very close. After she died, we were very sad and regretted not visiting her often.

    Linda's death reminds me of the blue flower. We should have done something better, but we haven't tried our best. I believe that God has given us enough time to plant some wonderful things that will bloom inside us, but we have missed it.
