Its not easy to remember them.”However, all the hard work hasnt stopped young learners. Today, about 50,000 U.S. students are studying Chinese, and they are doing very well!47.

Everyone has a different definition(定义) of what it means to be truly cool in their teenage years, but there are a few things you can do that will make you cooler anywhere. Talent and skill in almost any field can help you be cool. If you can sing best in the room, or can fix your friends computer problems with ease, you will get the respect(尊敬) from all around you. Remember that being cool is about being able to do something, and the easiest way to act better than others is to work hard at something. If someone advises doing something new, dont refuse it as long as(只要) its healthy. You should try your best to support fun activities. Finding new hobbies or games leads you to meet new people and gives you the chance to share great stories and new ideas with your friends. Travelling, picking up a new sport, going to see a young band, etc, will enlarge(增长) your knowledge and friendship group. You can have close friends, and even a best friend, but if you are with one friend at all times, youll never meet anyone new. This doesnt mean that you should try to be everyones best friend. But you should feel free to talk to anyone at your school. Being cool is not about refusing others; it is about making more friends. Thats very important.While(尽管) there are a great many Hollywood examples of cool people who are quiet, distant, and seemingly alone, in fact you can only be cool when people think you are cool. And people can only think you are cool after they get to know you a bit. Wear a smile, sit down with people at lunch, and make a small talk with your locker-mates or classmates. If people feel like they know you well, they may think you are cool. 55 to be a cool teenagerIntroductionBeing cool means different things to different people.Find your 56 l Try to become the best you can be in something.l Hard work can help you get respect from others. Support fun activitiesDeveloping new hobbies can 57 you with fresh ideas, and can improve your knowledge and friendship.
