谈心理健康

提示：

　　现代人的健康意识抬头，不仅要吃的健康，也知道要多运动来维持健康的体魄。但这只关乎生理健康，却忽视心理层面的健康。请写一篇约 120 至 150 个单词（words）的英文作文，文分两段，第一段以 Being healthy not only includes physical fitness but also mental health. 为开头；

第二段则以 There are several ways to maintain a positive state of mind. 开头并加以发展。

写作小栈

1. 主题句引导写作（guided writing）必须使用所指定的主题句（topic sentence）作为段落的开头，以主题句开头后，接着以下段落所有的句子都必须支持这个主题的指示方向进行，也就是思路的发展要符合主题句，如此才不会离题。

2. 依据提示的主题句，第一段重点在于说明心理健康的重要性；第二段则要列举几种增进心理健康的方法。

构思方向

第一段：说明心理健康的重要性，写作重点在于 what和 why，以 3 至 4 句说明心理健康的益处和对人们带来的影响，最后再强调健康心理的重要性。

第二段：列举增进心理健康的方法，写作重点在于 how，像是开怀大笑、写日记、学习新事物、正面思考，或者找信赖的人聊心事等。

范文：

Being healthy not only includes physical fitness but also mental health. People who are mentally healthy are comfortable in their surroundings. A sound mind gives us a sense of security, which in turn gives us the confidence to lead a fulfilling life. In addition, optimistic people have good relationships with others. Therefore, the importance of mental health cannot be overemphasized.

There are several ways to maintain a positive state of mind. First, laugh heartily. We can read funny books or watch comedies. Laughter can help reduce stress in our daily lives. Second, keep a diary. Writing can help us analyze our problems better. Third, be open to new things. Learning something new can be a wonderful experience and help us forget our worries. Finally, positive thinking can enable us to make positive changes in our lives. If you think you are happy, you will be.

　　健康不仅包括身体健康，还有心理健康。心理健康的人处在周遭的环境中都很自在。健康的心理可以给予我们安全感，因而让我们有信心过着充实的生活。此外，乐观的人有良好的人际关系。因此，心理健康再怎么强调也不为过。

　　保持正面的心理状态有许多种方式。首先要开怀大笑。我们可以阅读有趣的书或看喜剧。笑有助于减轻我们生活中的压力。再者，要写日记。写作可以帮助我们更清楚分析自己的问题。第三，要能愿意接受新事物。学习新事物是一种很棒的经验，还有助于我们忘记烦恼。最后，正面思考能够让我们对人生有正向的改变。要是你『觉得』自己很快乐，你『就会』是个快乐的人。
