Visit Hawaii! Maybe the most beautiful place in America is Hawaii. You can visit its long, sandy beaches in the south and west of the island, and mountains and forests in the north, but be careful: there are many mosquitoes(蚊子), and don't be surprised if it rains in the center of the island. Daytime temperatures there are usually around 24℃ to 26℃ by the sea, and only a little cooler late in the evening. |

Enjoy Thailand! When you visit Bangkok in Thailand, don't miss the early morning river boat trip to the Water Market just outside the city. There you will find many kinds of fruits and vegetables. There you can pay for them when you sit in your boat. Don't forget your hat: the sun can be strong and it may be as hot as 40℃ at noon! |

Come to France! Solly is a village in the mountains in western France, and the Hotel Post, opened by a local family, is clean and not expensive. Most hotels are like that one. From the hotel you can see the whole village, the forest and the mountains. lf you have telescopes(望远镜), you can feel the beauty of the nature completely. Temperatures in summer are usually 20℃ to 25℃ in the daytime, but much cooler at night. |
Little stream (溪流) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert, "I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert, "she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. "Maybe I can't reach the ocean, ""she said sadly to herself.
At this time, a deep voice said, "If a breeze(微风)can cross the desert, so can a river." It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, "A breeze can fly, but I can't."
"That's because you can't give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across, "said the desert." Give up what l am now? No! No!" The little stream could not accept this idea. "The breeze can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again, "said the desert." And whether you are arriver or vapor, your nature never changes. "Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage (阶段)of her life.
The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to get successful, you should also change the way you are.
When you are sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in your notebooks? If so, you are doodling (涂鸦). Many people think of doodling as a distraction(分心)from more important things. But it might be just the opposite. Doodling might help one focus on work.
One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear. In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group was encouraged to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29 % more.
Other people have suggested some other uses for doodling. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you'll have a fresh idea and work out an answer more quickly.
A writer named Sunni Brown wrote a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits(承认) that people think of doodling as doing nothing, but she wants to change that. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling.
Brown believes doodling is helpful because it includes many ways of learning. You learn in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn. And when you doodle while listening to a talk, you use all four.
You might think that being good at drawing is important for doodling. But if the purpose of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. Even if you're not an artist, doodling can help you. Let's pick up a pen and doodle together!
You have lots of things you'd like to do. But sometimes it's hard to get to the finish line—just like your goal. And how can you try to reach your goals? Here are a few opinions we often get from kids, followed by ideas that might help.
To change a habit, try changing where you spend your time. If you usually spend time lying on the sofa and watching TV programs or a video when you're bored, go somewhere else instead. Take a book to your room or your violin to the backyard. Or ask if you can help cook in the kitchen.
I can't start such a huge goal.
Start with "showing up." After that, you can finish by another and another. For example, how do I practice the piano? First sit at it. Then play one note at a time. Starting with a super-simple step often helps. Why? It's easy, quick, and gets you in action.
I have no time.
Take a look at the choices you make about how you spend time. Do those choices show what's important to you? Let's suppose you want to be a singer. Is it more important to practice singing than play video games? Talk with a parent about why your goal counts. Discuss whether you can give up something less important to free up time to achieve it.
A. Keeping taking steps will lead you to achieve your goal.
B. Then take one small step or do one tiny task.
C. How can you break your bad habits and develop good ones?
D.I can't get away from screens.
E. Can you spare 10 minutes a day to work on a goal?

Spring has come. As a Chinese saying goes, "The whole year's work a good start in spring. "In order to do a good job for the whole year, we often like to make some plans and preparations at this time of the year. However, many of us have a lot of plans in the and finally fails to carry them out. How can we deal with problems like this?
Conditions in our lives change every day. Sometimes we can't fulfill(实现) our plans .We should learn to change or even give up our plans. For me, I like to have a schedule(预定计划). When I learn about things that will happen on dates, I write them on my calendar. I also keep some blank(空白的）paper on my desk. When I realize I should do something today or tomorrow, I can write it down, so I won't forget. I think when we become busy one thing, itis easy to forget the other things we have to do. As the day goes on, I can see what l still have to do. That's different from making plans but I find it very . I think we must be prepared to change plans to suit conditions. Schedules and plans always change because of different conditions. That's what life is all about.
My dear friends, it's time for you to make a good plan for the coming exam. Try your and you are sure to succeed!
Friends are important to children. They make life more interesting. Children who have friends feel less lonely. They also feel good about themselves.
As children grow up, their ideas about friends will change. Before going to school, their friends are their playmates. Although these friendships may not seem very important, they give children lots of happiness.
At school, children start to have their own ideas about friendship. Friends are not only those they play with, but also those they like to talk and share everything with. At the same time, they also learn about how to get along with friends.
In the early teenage years, these ideas about friendship change further. During this time, young teenagers begin to understand the importance of sharing personal information with friends. They got to know that friends are the ones they can share their feelings and thoughts with, not just those they enjoy being around.
①s to give some things of yours to somebody else
②p of your own information
Friends are not only those they play with, but also those they like to talk and share everything with. Friends are those they play with those they like to talk and share everything with.
Here are simple suggestions on how to get to sleep. Not every one of these tips alone will get you to sleep, but a few of them at least should be useful.
Listen to light music. Some light music will help you sleep. Of course you must have recorder or CD player that will turn off itself because if you get up and turn it off in the end, you'll lose its effect.
Keep regular bedtime hours. Your body likes regular routines(日常活动), whether you do or not. It likes to know that it's going to get up at the same time each day, eat at the same time, and go to bed at the same time.
Don't watch TV or read before going to bed. Wait more than half an hour before going to be dafter reading or watching television.
