Last week，the World Health Organization said the flu is a“public health emergency（緊急情況）”．

    The book says that one simple act, no matter how small，call help someone in need．It may even influence other teens to do something.

    Another Enoch’s junior, Arianne Mote，has the same opinion．”Giving is our way of repaying those who help us，”she said�！盬hether it is a helping hand or a donation（捐贈）：we should help others to improve their lives．”

But how often do teens see peers helping a stranger or doing something？ According to Anthony, not a lot. Mote and he both believe this needs lo change.

"Humor is also a great tool," Anthony' said. "It can help us a lot when we face some  embarrassment （尷尬） and it is a good way to solve some problems."
