Two students started quarreling at school. One student shouted dirty words at the other, and a fight (打架) began. What can be done to stop fights like this at school? In some schools, the disputants (争执者) sit down with peer mediators. Peer mediators are students with special training (训练) in this kind of problems. Peer mediators help the disputants to talk in a friendly way. Here are some of the ways they use:
1. Put what you think clearly but don’t say anything to hurt the other. Begin with “I feel…” instead of “You always…”
2. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying. Don’t stop the other person’s words.
3. Keep looking at the other person’s eyes when he or she talks.
4. Try to see the other person’s side of the problem.
5. Never put anyone down. Saying things like “You are foolish ” makes the talk difficult.

Water
Water is very important for living things. Without water there can be no life on earth. All animals and plants need water. Mankind also needs water.
Water has 3 forms. It turns into a gas when heated above 100 ℃ and into ice when the temperature drops below 0 ℃.
Water can be found almost everywhere. Although about 70﹪ of the earth’s surface is covered by water, many places in the world are short of water.
So we should make full use of every drop of water.
