The schooling of the child at home becomes a family activity．Parents get involved in every step of the learning procedure．Field trips and experiments become family activities．Thus, the child receives more quality time with his parents．The entire family shares games, housework and projects．Family closeness becomes the focus here．
Individual attention is another obvious benefit of home-schooling．For example, if your child needs more time to learn math, then he can reduce the time for his English lessons．There are no fixed hours of learning per subject．This means that a child has the advantage of focusing additional time on the subject that seems hard．
Home-schooling gives the parent more control over the influences that affect your child．The growth and development of your child is established by you child is established by you and you determine what your child needs to do of learn．
Competition is limited when it comes to home-schooling, The child does not need to prove his ability with regard to other children or compete for attention．Since parents have a deep understanding of their child, they can plan the learning program to keep the child’s interest．It is also possible to mix difficult tasks with fun activities．A tough hour of Algebra(代数)can be followed by trip to the nearest museum or a vacation that you can make part of your child’s education．Some children learn through reading, while others need to write, and still others need to see objects in action．

I love charity（慈善）shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street．The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices．You can get things you won’t find in the shops anymore．The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods．
The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam．The famous charity’s appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations(捐赠物)．They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal．Now there are over7,000 charity shops in the UK．My favorite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children’s books, all 10 or 20pence each．
Most of the people Working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid．Over90%of the goods is the charity shops are donated by the public．Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don’t encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open．
The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work．Charity shops raise more than￡100million a year, funding (帮助)medical research, overseas aid ,supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more．What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense．You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment．

Fitness isn’t just physical; Change your thoughts, and you change your world．Of course we all agree that gaining and losing weight, exercise, diet, strength, and flexibility(灵活性) are a part of fitness．But what about body image, aging , relationships, success, and happiness? They are all related, all connected, and fitness in all areas is important if you want true and total fitness．
But you may say , “I just want to lose 20 pounds．If I do, I will feel better about myself and I will be happy ．”Maybe in the short term, but honestly, if we don’t deal with our mental and emotional fitness while working on the physical, there is very little chance of keeping the weight off, feeling good about yourself, and improving every other area of your life．
Let’s not waste tine changing our bodies if we don’t change our minds, Let’s work“out”and work“in” at the same time ．Change your mind and you must, because if you have been trying to lose weight, but cannot, there is something inside you that is disallowing it．You can change this pattern, improve your self-esteem, increase your joy, and change your body for good by focusing on changing your mind．This is training for life．
Work-ins will repair your mind, improve your attitude, change your perception and encourage motivation at the same time you are conditioning your body for weight loss, shaping, strength and endurance．
If you repeat a positive statement over and over to yourself——like a mantra(祷文)，your mind will change, the same way your body does, even if you don’t believe it．Like lifting a weight over and over, your muscle changes——even if you don’t believe it．

Vitamin D helps bones and muscles grow strong and healthy．Low levels of vitamin D can lead to diseases such as rickets(软骨病), mainly found in children．The thinning of bone is a common problem as people, especially women, get older．
But more and more research is suggesting that vitamin D might also help prevent many diseases．The easiest way to get vitamin D is from sunlight．The sun’s ultraviolet(紫外线的)rays react with skin cells to produce vitamin D．But many people worry about getting skin cancer and skin damage from the sun．As a result they stay out of the sun．Also, darker-skinned people produce less vitamin D than lighter-skinned people．The amount also de-creases in older people and those living in northern areas that get less sunlight．
Not many foods naturally contain vitamin D．Foods high in this vitamin include oily fish and fish liver oils．Farmed fish have only about one-fourth as much vitamin D as wild fish．Small amounts of vitamin D are found in beef liver, cheese and egg yolks．But most of the vitamin D in the American diet comes from foods such as milk．
Research in the last several years has shown that low levels of vitamin D may increase the risk of heart attacks in men and deaths from some cancers．More doctors are now having their patients tested for their vitamin D levels．But as research continues, some experts worry that if people take too much vitamin D, it might act as a poison, Also, skin doctors warn people be careful with sun exposures because of the risk of skin cancer．
