5. Read the text and underline the expressions related to suggestions.

Dear Students,
As the School Counseling Service, we promise that we will always stand by our students throughout
their challenges. In addition, we would like to remind that you will go through both good and negative
moods and that any negative mood does not necessarily mean that you have a psychological problem
as it is to last for a particular time. Should you experience any of the negative moods below, bear in
mind our suggestions.
* Feeling pessimistic: You may not always believe that everything will be perfect. There might be
moments when you think the other way round. At these moments, do not feel hopeless. Remember
that there is always a way out and focus on solutions.
* Feeling annoyed: No one is as patient as an angel and there are moments of annoyance ahead
for us. At these moments, we can easily hurt others, even our beloved ones, or take wrong decisions.
We suggest that you keep apart from crowds or find a close friend to talk to till you realize that you feel
calmer. You might as well go for a walk or run. Listening to relaxing pieces of music may be of help.
* Feeling stressed: Stress may be common especially before exams and if you want to cope with
it, you could take exercise on a regular basis.
* Lack of self-confidence: Each moment is not the same and there will be moments with low self-
confidence. Experts’ advice on this vary, but if you want our opinion, take up a hobby and stick to it.
Creating is a nice way of relaxation and gives you self-confidence.
* Loneliness: This might find you as well because people around you, even close friends may need
to focus on their own needs and problems. In such a case, you could talk to people you trust. You will,
most probably, come to the realization that there are people who respect and appreciate you.

6. Imagine that you have come across the following social media posts by your friends. Through
comments, make suggestions to change their negative moods. You can use the expressions
from the text in Part 5 as well as those of your own.
