各位親愛的會員9月11日將討論兩個主題:
1.憤怒管理 2.睡眠時間多少？
憤怒情緒管理
心理專家說，偶爾的憤怒並不是件壞事，但如果長期抑制自己，不將憤怒適當宣洩出來，將會對自己身心有很大的傷害。憤怒的情緒需要管理，人的生活中，不如意事，十有八九，從工作中來的壓力，來自家庭的壓力等等，總有些事，讓人感到挫敗鬱卒，甚至想一股腦的爆發。學會控制你的憤怒吧! 在憤怒之前消除這些情緒，進而去掉憤怒帶來的負面影響。您的意見呢?
睡眠時間多少？
睡眠時間多少？長久以來，一直是個探討的話題，每晚睡眠時間，究竟應該睡多少小時呢？國內外一些研究報告發現，睡眠時間過多的人，較不健康；但是，也有報導指出，睡眠不滿5小時或超過8小時，中風機率與死亡風險便會增加。然而這些研究的證明尚未明確，那麼到底甚麼是合適的睡眠時間呢？您的意見呢? (by Billy)

How many hours of sleep do you need? (Helpguide)
According to the National Institutes of Health, the average adult sleeps less than 7 hours per night. In today's fast-paced society, 6 or 7 hours of sleep may sound pretty good. In reality, it's a recipe for chronic sleep deprivation.
While sleep requirements vary slightly from person to person, most healthy adults need between 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep per night to function at their best. Children and teens need even more (see box at right). And despite the notion that our sleep needs decrease with age, older people still need at least 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep. Since older adults often have trouble sleeping this long at night, daytime naps can help fill in the gap.

2. Is less sleep good or bad for you?
3. Do you usually staying up late?
4. Share your opinions about the bad effects of sleeping late?

CONVERSATION
Asking prices
Sherry and Alexandra walk out of the handbag store.
Alexandra: That clerk was really rude.
Sherry: I know that shop is notorious for its poor service.
Alexandra: I bet she can't make good business if she served customers like that.
Sherry: Let's walked down this street. If I'm not mistaken, there's another handbag store toward the end.
Alexandra: Yes, I see it is over there. I wonder if they carry the same style of the handbag.
Sherry: I can see it right there in the window display. Let's ask how much they are.
