Today, we are more connected than before. People from different countries and cultural backgrounds come together for study, work, and travel. As a middle-school student, you might have the chance to meet friends from all over the world. While this is an exciting chance to learn about new cultures, it can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or cultural conflicts (冲突). Here are some tips on how to avoid cultural conflicts.
*Learn and Respect Differences
Every culture has its own traditions and ways of doing things. It's important to learn more about the customs. Try to learn about other cultures by reading books, watching movies, or talking with people who come from those cultures.
*Be Open-minded
Keep an open mind when you meet something that seems strange or different from your culture. What may appear unusual to you might be a normal part of daily life for others. Asking questions in a polite way not only helps you learn but also shows that you respect their culture.
*Accept and Be Flexible (灵活的)
Sometimes, you may need to accept the customs of the place you're visiting or living in. This doesn't mean you have to give up your own culture, but being flexible can help you fit in and show respect. For example, if you're in a country where it's normal to take off your shoes before entering someone's home, follow it even if it's not common in your country.

Linda's son makes her tired because her son always brings her a lot of trouble. She doesn't know what to do. Victoria's son, Paul , is considered as a naughty (调皮的) boy by the teachers because he usually fights with other children. Every day Bella spends a lot of time telling Mark the rules about what he should do, but it just doesn't work. He still keeps on doing what he wants to do. Every time Mr. Smith's son Henry does something bad, he feels angry. He shouts at Henry and feels it difficult to control himself.

In recent years, plank exercise (平板支撑) has become more and more popular. It's easy to find a proper place to do plank exercise. You can even do it with a chair! But you need to use a stable chair to make sure your safety. It is dangerous if the chair moves during exercise. Moreover, doing plank exercise regularly may bring you lots of benefits.
Performing plank exercise as a daily home exercise before or after school will not only speed up your metabolism (新陈代谢), but also keep your metabolic rate (速率) high all day long. Doing it regularly will make you burn lots of calories (卡路里). This is especially useful if you have to sit in the classroom for hours every day. A high metabolic rate will help you lose weight and keep in good shape.
Have you ever tried standing on one leg? You couldn't stand straight for more than ten seconds on one leg, right? It's because your muscles (肌肉) aren't strong enough to give you the balance you need. Doing plank exercise regularly will improve your balance. Stronger muscles will also help you stand straight longer.
▲ Just think about it: You are sitting all day long. Your muscles get tired, and your legs get heavy. Plank exercise will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in your body. As a result, it can have a powerful and positive effect on our mood.
Considering all the benefits of plank exercise, will you make it part of your everyday life?
