Read the text carefully then do the activities

Have you ever lost your temper? Did you scream or want to hit someone? Maybe your teacher

gave you too much homework. Or maybe a friend borrowed your favorite video game and then broke it.

That made you angry!Everyone gets angry. Maybe you "lose your cool" or "hit the roof." The hard part is

learning what to do with these strong feelings. You have lots of emotions. At different times, you may be

happy, sad, or jealous. Anger is just another way we feel. But anger must be released in the right way.

Many things may make kids angry. You may get angry when something doesn't go your way. Maybe

you get mad at yourself when you don't understand your homework or when your team loses an important

game. Or you might get angry with your parents if you think one of their rules is unfair. Worst of all is

when you are blamed for something you didn't do. There are different ways people feel anger. Usually

your body will tell you when you are angry. Are you breathing faster? Is your face bright red? Do you

want to break something or hit someone? Anger can make you yell or scream at those around you, even

people you like or love. Some people keep their anger buried deep inside. If you do this, you might get a

headacheor your stomach might start to hurt. It's not good to hide your anger, so you should find a way tolet it out without hurting yourself or others.

Don't lose control if you get angry. Taking it out on others never solves anything. Instead, admit to

yourself that you are angry and try to figure out why. What can you do to keep the situation from

happening again? If your little sister gets a toy and you don't, it's not OK to break that toy. Maybe you can

ask her to share it with you. Or if your science homework is too hard, don't rip up your notebook. Ask

your teacher or a parent for help instead. It helps to talkabout your anger with an adult, such as a parent,

teacher, or relative. Once you talk about anger, those bad feelings usually start to go away. Don't let

anger be the boss of you. Take charge of it!

Final TERM ENGLISH Exam

Part one : Reading comprehension

Read the text carefully then do the activities Sometimes the toughest thing about feelings is sharing them with others .Sharing your feelings helps youwhen your feelings are good and when they are not so good .Sharing also helps you to get closer to people you

care about orwho care about you. When people talk about feelings, they sometimes use the word "emotions".Before you can share them with anyone, you have to figure out what feelings you have. Making a list of

your feelings can help. You can do this on your head or writing it out in a piece of paper or even drawing

pictures. When you are trying to figure out your feelings, it might help to remember something that happened

and think about how it made you feel.

The way a person feels inside is important. It can be really hard not to tell anyone that you are feeling sad,

worried or upset, Then , it's just you and these bad feelings. If you keep feelings locked inside , it can even

make you feel sick ! But if you talk to someone who cares for you , like your mum and dad , you will almost

always start to feel better . Now , you are not all alone with your problems or worries . It does not mean your

problems and worries disappear magically, but at least someone else knows what's bothering you and can help

you find solutions.

Once you know who you can talk with , you will want to pick a time and place to talk . Does it need to be

private , or you talk with your brother and sister in the room? If you think you'll have trouble saying what's on

your mind , write it down on a piece of paper. If the person does not understand what you mean, write away,

try explaining it a different way or give an example of what's concerning you.

Is there something you think could be done to make things better ? If so , say it.
