How to … get out of your comfort zone!
It's the start of a new school year. Everyone's getting back into their

your daily routine? You could travel a different way to school. You
never know – you might 2 have / make an adventure! Why not eat your
meals in a different place or get up early and do some yoga? Our brains

I love making videos, but I was always too shy to share them. Then last month I

opinions and criticise, but I don't mind. Good comments 5 make / boost my
confidence, but I try to 6 take / get on board negative comments too.
Marco
I tried this idea on my birthday: allow a friend to 7 boost / make plans for you!
Your friend chooses a place to go. You have to see a film you wouldn't normally
choose or try a new activity. I was really excited about my day – and a bit anxious
too. But I decided to 8 have / give it a go and now I have a new hobby: juggling!
