Respect your teachers.
First of all, students should respect the teachers. You should your teachers in the classes. That means to give your respect to him, to stand from your chairs when the teacher enters the classroom, etc. Attend any class attentively. In class of a certain subject or a teacher you don’t like very much, if it is totally anarchy(无政府状态), how can we talk about respect?
Play by the .
If your teacher wants you to take notes in class, do it. If she tells you to sharpen your pencils only before class starts, listen to her. If she late homework, do yours on time. Sometimes classroom rules seem strict or even silly, but most teachers know what’s necessary to make things run well and what it takes to let the learning begin. And the better the learning environment, the you will be!
Expect him/her to like you.
Teachers are teachers because they like kids. Given the chance, most teachers want to be your , too. Respect your teacher, but do not be afraid of him/her. He/ she wants you to have a great school year just as much as you want to have one!
Put first things first.
Friends are a fun part of school. But they are not the most important part. When your teacher is teaching, give him/her full attention, when it’s hard to do. Class will end and the ten-minute break will come soon enough, and that’s the time for playing with your friends

Sir Steven Redgrave—Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病), believing the profession trained for the whole of my life ended, I felt very sorry. Then one of my friends said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”
Karen Pickering—Swimming World Champion (冠军)
“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that amount of work by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a profession in any field without being well-organized. Make a list of what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”
Kristen Stewart—Actress
“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve anything. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to give most of your attention to one thing. When I feel nervous, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘focus’ , ‘calm’, ‘peace’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit and is a powerful psychological(心理学的) tool.”
