I extremely love Bark magazine! I love the “smiling” pages and the tips on every topics. I am a dog lover and have saved all of my dogs from either death or from people who were going to put them down. Everyone should have a chance to live and Bark stresses that with its articles. This magazine is a MUST HAVE for any dog lover!!

Don't waste your money on this magazine. 60-70 percent of it are advertisements, and the articles offer little useful information. It might be suitable for children, but not adults who are serious about educating themselves about dogs.

I’m sure you will improve your written English quickly in this way.” He said. I thought Tom was right, but I decided to follow his advices. I started to write down something interested every day. Sometimes when I didn’t know how to spell a word, I would look it up in a dictionary. When I didn’t know how to write a sentence correct, I would ask my teacher for the help.

Most teens need 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night. But many teens have trouble sleeping. Lack of sleep can affect sports performance, increase our chances of getting sick, and may be linked to weight gain in some people. How can we get sleep we need? Here are some ideas:
●1. You’ve probably noticed how much running around kids do — and how soundly they sleep. Take a tip from a little child and get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. Physical activity can decrease stress and help people feel more relaxed. Just don’t work out too close to bedtime because exercise can wake you up.
●Avoid alcohol and drugs. Lots of people think that alcohol or drugs will make them relaxed, but that’s not the case. Drugs and alcohol disturb sleep. 2.
●Say goodnight to electronics. 3. You’d better make your bedroom a tech-free zone, at least shut everything down an hour or more before lights out.
●Keep a sleep routine. Going to bed at the same time every night helps sleep. 4. So you can relax by reading, listening to music or spending time with a pet.
●Expect a good night’s sleep. 5. Say, “Tonight, I will sleep well” several times during the day. It can also help to practice breathing exercises or gentle yoga poses before bed.
A. Be active during the day.
B. Do some extreme sports.
C. Either of them will make a person wake up at night.
D. Expert recommend using the bedroom for sleep only.
E. Creating a set bedtime procedure can improve this relaxation effect.
F. Instead of worrying that you won’t sleep, remind yourself that you can.
G. You can consult a doctor who will give you suggestions on how to sleep well.
