Your school days may be the best and happiest days in your life. You should learn to get the most from them, and don’t waste this wonderful chance to learn.
Be positive (积极的) about school. Don’t say things are difficult or boring. Be interested in school life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go around the school with a big smile. Work hard. School isn’t a holiday camp. If you’re not working hard or you’re not learning, you’re wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything pleasant and funny.
Keep fit. If you don’t eat a good breakfast, you’ll be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and don’t have enough sleep, you’ll be sleepy in class. Play some sports to keep your body strong.
Do today’s work today. Don’t say you’ll do things tomorrow. If you fall behind, it’s very difficult to catch up. You cannot finish a run if you rest all the time.
Don’t be too disappointed if things sometimes go badly. Everyone fails some tests, loses some matches or has bad days. Friends aren’t always good, and they sometimes say and do unpleasant things. Don’t let small problems seem very big and important.
