Q: At recess (课间休息) , I don’t know what to do because all my friends are playing games I don’t like or don’t want to play. So I end up standing by myself at recess doing nothing. What should I do?
Alex Rider, 13, Bloomfield, N.J
A: In fact, recess was my least A: Doyou believe in time travel, favorite part of the school day Alex? Because you just dragged for Grades 1 to 5. I was never me 40 years into the past. When really into playing kickball. So, likeyou, I spent many days at recess standing alone. Take advantage of the extra time you have. I learned that reading a book is the best way to pass time, especially if it issunny. Books are good for a lonely recess, because they take you out of your world andinto another. If reading isn't your thing, then try making new friends. Some other things I would do at recess were chess and papercutting. Those might be worth trying. Maybe the teacher who is watching over all the kids needs someone to talk to as well, Whatever you want to do, don't let your time go to waste. Johnny Hayes, 15 32. Who is asking for advice?

I was 13, half my friends threw themselves into kickball at recess which was too vigorous (剧烈的) for me right after lunch. So, like you, I stood around a lot. Then, one day, my teacher, Susie, asked me, “What do you want to do?” I had no answer for her. But suddenly, it came to me:marbles! I asked a few friends, and they were happy to join me. Now, I'm not suggesting you play marbles, only that you consider what you feel like doing and can make you happy. And one last idea: There's no harm in trying games your friends are playing that you think you won't like. You might just surprise yourself. Philip Galanes, adult
