    Noisy neighbors are a common problem in a society where many people live closely together．And this can be most important when you share walls，floors or ceilings with neighbors in a fat．A noisy neighbor can make life challenging，especially if noise goes well into night，or happens during early morning hours．This situation needs to be dealt with properly，which requires your ability to keep calm．

    You should first try to tell your noisy neighbors about the noise． This conversation should be polite， even friendly． It can begin with a statement like．"I am not sure you are aware"．Explain the problem in an honest way，and ask the neighbor to turn down the music，or not to hold parties until 3 a．m． You can also add that you realize they hear your noise too， and you are certainly willing to try to stop anything in your behavior that is creating extra noise．

    You should know that not all neighbors are going to follow your requirement， and some may act in a bad manner． If the noisy neighbors don't change their behavior， the next step should be to write the neighbors a letter． The letter should show your grievances （不满） and the dates when the noise was quite terrible． For example， if your neighbor has loud gatherings every Friday night that last into the early morning then write down those dates．

    When the noise remains going on， you should report it to local authorities （权力部门），or even the police department， when it is really necessary． Often， however， the problem is solved when the noisy neighbor knows you are going to call the police．

    Do be aware that you cannot always require noisy neighbors to be quiet． When the noise remains going on， it is wise not to deal with it in an angry or retaliatory （报复性的） fashion． If you have completed the steps and letter， don't start hitting walls or moors around in your home or turning up the music to make your neighbors angry． Just have patience and remember that communication is the most important．

"Volunteering makes you look at the world differently． You see how little things can change a person's life for the better， which makes everyone a better person．" Mason， a volunteer said．

National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April． It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements． It is also a perfect opportunity （机会） to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer． Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem， because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations （期望）． Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group． Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities．

★ Work with a veteranvolunteer． He volunteered a lot， he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations．

If you don't know what your friends are doing，will you get anxious （焦虑的）？Fifty﹣ one percent of teenagers said yes when they were asked this question in a recent study.The fear that "I'm absent while others might be having fun" is called FOMO - fear of missing out.

FOMO pushes you to check the social media （社交媒体）more often.This can make you become more easily affected （影响）by others.You may feel sad，lonely and bored if you start to experience FOMO.

So，what can we do to deal with it？

Change your focus

You should stop worrying about what you may be missing out oil Instead，try to focus on the good things you have already been doing.Use your spare time to do things you enjoy，such as painting or playing soccer.

Keep a diary

By keeping a personal diary，you will learn to be more grateful for the great things you have in your life.You will realize that you are the only one who has control over your life，not the Internet...

Build up real connections

When you feel lonely，why not meet up with people in real life？Talking with your family or taking part in a group activity can help you feel better.

As long as you live in the moment，you'll never miss out on anything in your life!

FOMO is the fear of （1）	FOMO	Focus on（3） 　 　you have already been doing.
		Change your focus.	Do things you enjoy.
FOMO can make you become（2） 　     　     affected by others.		Learn to be more grateful for the great things.

When we are talking to someone， we tend to change someone else's mind to our way of thinking．And we may often find it difficult to do that． So here are five tips on how to change someone's mind．

    The first oneis never to turn the conversation into an argument． It should be a conversation where you show your opinions and the facts that you've collected． By showing them the facts， we want to tell other people that we are right． But emotionally， they may not totally agree with what you say． So when you are trying to change someone's mind， try to keep it as a conversation and not an argument．

   The second tipis never to say that you are wrong． If someone makes a statement that you think is wrong， it's better to point it out by saying， "I thought otherwise but I might be wrong， let's look at the facts．" The key is to say that you might be wrong， not that you are wrong． This opens up the other person to look at the data again and shows them that you're not bullheaded （顽 固 的） and that you're not going to change your opinion． You're showing them that you are open to new ideas and this is super important in changing someone else's mind to your way of thinking．

    Tip number threeis to get the other person saying yes as fast as possible． You may begin your conversation on hobbies that you guys have， something that they're crazy about， something that gets them saying yes． Because the more that you get them to say yes now， the more likely they are to say yes in the future． A conversation like this will get them to start to like you and maybe even more open up to ideas that you have． It builds up trust between the two of you．

   Tip number fouris to let the other person do a great amount of talking． If you let them talk more， you're going to show that you actually care about their opinions and ideas， which will earn their respect in the end． By listening to them， you're going to create a friendly relationship and build trust． So when you express your opinions， they will also show a willingness to listen． Never interrupt them when they are talking． Just listen patiently with an open mind， encourage them to talk even more and more so that when it's your tum to talk， they'll listen and say nothing．

    The last tipis to let the other person feel like the idea was theirs． It's wiser to make suggestions and let someone else come to the conclusion， then they have a sense of pride that it's their idea． Giving someone the data and letting them come to the conclusion let them feel like it is their idea and they are proud of it．

Title： How to change someone else's mind

Introduction	Though it is not （1） 　　to change someone else's mind， here are tips you can follow．
