Form 1

What is good for your mental health?

Doing something for a change is a good way. It could be a five­minute

rest from cleaning your house, a half­hour lunch break at work or a weekend finding somewhere new.

Taking a break may mean being very active. It may mean not doing very much at all. Take a deep breath... and relax. Try yoga or a deep thought, or just putting your feet up. A few minutes can be enough to make you feel good.

Listening to your body is also helpful. If you're really tired, give yourself time to sleep. Sometimes the world can wait.

Form 2

What do you love doing? What activities can you lose yourself in?

Enjoying yourself is good for your mental health, too. Doing an activity you enjoy probably means you're good at it and being good at something builds up your confidence(自信).

Having a hobby like gardening, dancing or drawing can help you forget your worries for a while and change your mood(情绪).

I'm learning the guitar. I have to really give attention to getting it right, so there's no room in my head for worries.

It can be good to have an interest where you are not someone's mom or dad, teacher or doctor. You are just you.

An hour of drawing lets you show yourself creatively. A morning on the football ground gets you active and gives you the chance to meet new people.

1.What does the writer suggest doing in Form 1?
