Ⅳ. 阅读下列短文,回答问题。
Knowing and accepting yourself is important for every middle school student. When you understand who you are, you feel happier and more confident.
How do you learn about yourself? Think about what you like and dislike. What makes you happy? What makes you sad? Try different activities—sports, music, art, reading. See what you enjoy and what you are good at. Ask friends or family what they think your strengths are.
Accepting yourself means liking both your good points and things you find difficult. Everyone has things they do well and things they need to work on. It's okay! Nobody is perfect. If you make a mistake, learn from it. Don't be too hard on yourself. Be kind to yourself, just like you are kind to a good friend.
When you accept yourself, you feel stronger inside. You worry less about what others think. You know you are special and that is great!
