你有时会感到生气或难过吗？你知道如何变得开心吗？这里有一些帮助你的方法。

Everyone has times when they feel angry or sad. But don't worry! There are ways to make ourselves feel better.
When you're angry, you can try drawing. Pick up some coloured pencils and draw whatever you like. It could be a beautiful park, your favourite pet, or a funny picture. Drawing can help you put your attention on something else and make the anger go away a little. Another thing you can do is jump rope. Jump! Jump! Jump! It's a great way to let out extra energy(额外精力）when you're feeling mad.
If you're feeling sad, reading a storybook can be nice. Find a quiet place, sit down comfortably, and lose yourself in a wonderful story. It might make you forget about your sadness for a while. You can also play with your toys. Hug your teddy bear or build something with your blocks. Playing with toys can bring back happy memories and make you feel warmer inside.
Remember, it's normal to have these feelings. But with these simple ways, you can turn those bad feelings into good ones!
