Tilda's world is just as she likes it 

– until, one day, 

it turns completely upside down!

Be open,

 be honest, 

be you! 

Big Bright Feelings for little people.

Can Tilda discover a new way 

to approach her problems 

and believe in herself?

Bold, bright and empowering, 

this is an inspiring story 

about coping with difficult situations. 

It's the ideal book 

for helping children 

to build resilience 

and embrace a 'can do' approach to life.

Tom Percival's Big Bright Feelings series is the perfect springboard for conversations about mental and emotional health, positive self-image, building self-confidence and managing feelings. 

Every child's bookshelf should contain his books.

今天的故事明显更长、更难了！

来听听看是一个怎样的故事吧！ 



这次听故事，给你布置三个小任务：

1，Grandma Wang 都有哪些surprises？

2，当最后Biff说 It’s the best and biggest surprise 时她手里举着什么？为什么呢？你期待接下来会发生什么呢？如果你读过其他高阶版的牛津树，这个问题就不难回答哈。如果没读过，就留个悬念，等着媛媛后续揭秘吧。

3,这个绘本媛媛读的时候出现了几个小错误，你发现了吗？来找找看吧！要听到最后哦，这样是不是印象更深刻呢？所以，错误并不可怕，要看我们怎么对待它！        

接着上次的正文，来看看"The wheel of feelings"和“Notice how your brain and body connect”这两个版块。

The wheel of feelings  

图片

Take a moment to notice any sensations in your body right now. Is your breathing fast or slow or somewhere in between? Does your mind seem busy with thoughts or is it focused on what you’re reading? These are all signals from your body and brain that tell you how you’re feeling.

当陷入情绪反应时，有时很难找到准确的词语来描述自己的感受。情绪轮盘可以提供帮助。从中心向外延伸——先在轮盘中心识别你的主要情绪，然后观察它向外围延伸时会关联哪些其他情绪。这能让你更细致、更具体地探索自己的感受。（DeepSeek翻译）

 Notice how your brain and body connect   

图片

Think of something or someone that makes you happy – a friend, a pet, a type of food or activity. Notice if your facial expressions change, how your shoulders feel and the sensations in your chest and stomach. Are your inhales long or short? Now, ask yourself, “What was I feeling?” Repeat the activity by thinking of an incident that scared or upset you. Next time you notice any of those patterns in your body and breath, you’ll understand what you’re feeling.

象让你快乐的事物或人——朋友、宠物、某种食物或活动。留意你的面部表情是否变化，肩膀的感觉如何，胸、腹的感受如何？你的呼吸是深长还是短促？现在问自己：“我刚才感受到了什么？”重复这个练习，回想一件让你害怕或不安的事情。下次当你在身体和呼吸中发现类似模式时，就能理解自己的情绪了。（DeepSeek翻译）

这次媛媛把奶奶的声音读得唯妙唯肖，很有意思。而且读完之后，她还把自己曾经的有趣经历也告诉了大家，并和大家有互动，大家一定要听到最后哦！

如果一定要说可以提高的地方，可能就是文章末尾部分Lee看到鹦鹉飞进教室时可以再激动一点。不过和嘉宝一样，我们主打录制一个当下的自然状态，留待后续继续进步！

Recognising your emotions 

can help you make good choices.

选自19 October 2024 - 《The Week Junior》- Wellbeing中的《 Know your feelings 》

Emotional awareness 

Take a moment to notice any sensations in your body right now. Is your breathing fast or slow or somewhere in between? Does your mind seem busy with thoughts or is it focused on what you’re reading? These are all signals from your body and brain that tell you how you’re feeling.

此刻花一点时间感受身体的任何信号：呼吸是快、慢，还是适中？你的思绪是纷乱还是专注于阅读内容？这些都是身体和大脑传递的情绪信号。（DeepSeek翻译）

 Where do feelings come from?  

 “Feelings start in our brains and also exist in our bodies,” says Ekta Hattangady, who is a counsellor (someone who helps people with their problems through talking). Hattangady explains how different feelings exist in the body. “When we are happy or find something funny, we smile. When someone jumps and surprises us, our throat or chest might feel tight. When we are scared, our breathing might become shallow,” she says.

“情绪始于大脑，也存在于身体中，”心理咨询师Ekta Hattangady解释道（心理咨询师通过谈话帮助人们解决问题）。她进一步说明不同情绪在身体中的表现：“当我们快乐或觉得有趣时会微笑；当被人惊吓时，喉咙或胸口可能发紧；恐惧时呼吸会变得短促。”（DeepSeek翻译）

Why do feelings matter? 

Hattangady explains that feelings are important because they give clues about what you need. If you’re angry, it might mean something is unfair and you need help to fix it.If you’re sad, this could mean you need comforting or time to heal. Being able to name your feelings is called emotional awareness. It’s a key part of growing up and can help you to talk about what you feel, which can make it easier to get the help you might need to figure things out and move on.

Hattangady指出，情绪之所以重要，是因为它们暗示了你的需求。例如愤怒可能意味着某事不公平，你需要帮助去解决它。如果感到悲伤，可能意味着你需要安慰或时间疗愈。能够命名情绪被称为“情感意识”，它是成长的关键部分，能帮助你表达感受，从而更容易获得解决问题所需的帮助。（DeepSeek翻译）

Emotions are messengers 

Maybe you’ve seen the film Inside Out 2. The characters in 13-year-old Riley’s brain represent her emotions. They each take over her brain as she goes through big life changes. We see joy, fear and sadness play up when Riley goes to a new high school and when she worries about losing her friends. Riley learns to understand that all feelings are normal and natural responses to different situations, and they all have an important role to play.

你可能看过电影《头脑特工队2》。13岁女孩莱莉大脑中的角色象征着她的情绪。随着她经历人生重大变化，这些情绪轮流掌控她的思维。我们看到当莱莉进入新高中或担心失去朋友时，喜悦、恐惧和悲伤如何轮番登场。莱莉最终明白：所有情绪都是对不同情境的自然反应，各有其重要作用。（DeepSeek翻译）

Try to make it a habit to notice how you feel throughout your day or week in different situations. Hattangady says, “Feelings don’t last forever – they come and go – so learning to notice them without letting them take over helps us stay calm and make good choices.”

试着养成习惯，观察自己在不同日常场景中的感受。Hattangady说：“情绪不会永恒存在——它们来了又走。学会觉察而不被情绪支配，能帮助我们保持冷静，做出明智选择。”（DeepSeek翻译）

Develop the habit of noticing how you feel！

今天发布该系列的第四个音频。大家Bunk这个单词认识吗？快来听听涨知识吧！而且其中的语气词媛媛读得很有代入感，短短一个小故事，很有趣哦！



A beautiful fable about the nature

of love, from beloved, award-

winning picture book creators 

Mac Barnett and Carson Ellis.

"What is love?"

a young boy asks.

"I can't answer that,"

his grandmother says,

and so the boy goes out 

into the world to find out.

But while each person he meets 

—the fisherman, the actor, and others 

—has an answer to his question,

not one seems quite right. 

Could love really be a fish, 

or applause, or the night?

Or could it actually be

something much closer to home? 

This tender, funny tale 

is an original take on the “I love you" story, 

a picture book treasure 

for all ages to read and cherish.

A CLASSIC LOVE STORY:

A wonderful narrative voice 

and spectacular pictures 

give this book 

the feel of a modern classic.

Fans of The Runaway Bunny,

Guess How Much I LoveYou,

and Love You Forever 

will adore this book.

ENJOY: 

Many books about the love 

between parents and children 

are told from an adult's point of view.

This book begins 

from the child'sperspective,

and it's funny and unexpected 

in ways that children can relate to, 

while being thoughtful in ways 

that adults will appreciate. 

Like all great children's books, 

this book can be understood 

on many levels.

A BOOK ABOUT FINDING YOURSELF:

Theboy's journey takes him 

to many different people,

whose descriptions of 

what love means to them 

is very much about 

how they see themselves 

and their lives.
