Dear children，

How time flies!As your teacher，I'd like to talk about"behaving like a grown﹣up"with you before you leave school．

During our lives，we need the strength of other people to achieve our goals．（16）　　of us can make it on our own．

In an（17）　　world，we would all have thoughtful，helpful people to guide us in life．Imagine having a （18）　　who is devoted to keeping you healthy．Or imagine having a boss who wants you to enjoy your job and make progress in your（19）　　．But many of us have difficulty dealing with（打交道）grown﹣ups who seem（20）　　in their changeable moods．If we have immature（不成熟的）adults（21）　　trustworthy adults around us，we will certainly get into real trouble．

What's more，if we are always（22）　　that we're right all the time，while others are wrong，then we are like those immature adults．Our own personalities could be the（23）　　．

A mature adult is someone who makes problems better，not worse．When this type of people face a bad（24）　　，they try to find ways to be calm and in control．They keep practicing solving problems（25）　　they become members of mature adults．

Maybe you're now too young to behave like a mature adult．When you run across a problem，try to stay calm and think more about before taking actions，then you're really on the way to be grown﹣up．

Yours faithfully，

Vivien
