3、ut it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland.

New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast,
5、 shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock, which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatene

10、What we say to ourselves over and over for days, weeks, months, and sometimes years, has a great effect on how we see ourselves. This also contributes to many mental health disorders.Many of us have problems with negative thoughts playing on the channel of our minds, but if youre buried in them and
11、believe them, they could be wearing your sense of selfesteem (自尊).

12、ilures, and they get you nowhere.What can you do? Here are some suggestions：Switch the channel when negative thoughts appear.

15、strengths? What are you good at? Instead of saying “Im a loser”， try saying, “I am capable. / Im good at. / I accept myself the way I am.”Thinking poorly about ourselves gets us nowhere and is extremely selflimiting. Decide today to turn off the negative selftalk channel in your mind and develop you
