Four ways to have a good school life
Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them， and be sure you do not waste this great chance(机会) to learn?
Be active(积极的) at school Don’t say things are difficult or boring. Take interest in school life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Put up your hands quickly in class. Go around the school with a big smile. If you are not working， you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.
Keep fit If you don’t eat a good breakfast， you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and don’t have enough sleep， you will be sleepy in class. Play enough sports every day to keep your body strong.
Face the problem Don’t say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class， it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish the race(竞赛) if you rest all the time. Everyone fails(失败) some exams， loses some matches and has bad days. Don’t make small problems very big and important. Don’t forget to ask for help. You are young， and no one thinks you must do everything quite well!
Spend the weekends Don’t waste time lying in bed on Saturday or Sunday morning. Go and play sports， get together with friends in the park to relax， learn to play the piano， or help someone with problem. If you don’t want to go out， there are also a lot of things to do. You may read a book， practice English or help Mum with housework.
Follow our advice (建议) ， and have a happy school life!
