57. C1 Hello. Well, I think it's very important to live in the present and
not in the past. Don't think about mistakes you made in the past you
can't change things now. The important thing is to think about how
you can do things better now and in the future.
C2 Hi, my name's Julie. My tip is think positive thoughts, not
negative ones. We all have negative thoughts sometimes, but when
we start having them, we need to stop and try to change them into
positive ones. Like, if you have an exam tomorrow and you start
thinking, I'm sure I’ll fail,' then you’ll fail the exam. So you need to
change that negative thought to a positive thought. Just think to
yourself, I’ll pass. that exam' I do this and it usually works.
58. C3 Hi. My tip is don't spend a lot of time following the news online or on
TV. It's always bad news and it just makes you feel depressed. Read a
book or listen to your favourite music instead, and you won't feel so bad.
C4 Every week, make a list of all the good things that happened to you,
on your phone or on a piece of paper. Then if you're feeling a bit sad or
depressed, read the list and it’ll make you feel better.
C5 Hi. I think it's good to try to use positive language when you speak to
other people. You know, if your friend has a problem, don't say, I'm
sorry' or Oh, poor you.' Say something positive, like don't worry!
Everything’ll be OK.' That way, you’ll make the other person think more
positively about their problem.
