Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily. Anyone can become a better scholar if he or she wants to. Here's are some ways about how to become a better student..

Plan your time carefully. When you plan your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making the list, you should make your own timetable. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing and so on. Then make a regular time for studying. Don't forget the entertainment time. A weekly plan can’t solve all your problems, but it can bring you to realize what is happening.

Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a comer of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! You will be able to pay more attention to your study.

Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. It’s also necessary to read what your teacher is going to discuss the next day. The knowledge will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of tests is to show what you have learned. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be overly worried.

Dear Lexie,

We got to Venice early this morning. You wouldn't believe it. It's like a floating(漂浮的) city, and I'm afraid it will sink or something. My mom's calling me. Gotta go!

Mary

Hey, Mary,

Venice sounds great. I looked it up online. The buildings all look like castles (城堡) or something. I hope to go there one day.

Lex

Hi, Lex,

It's about 7 pm here, so what time is it there? Probably you're at school right now. We went to a big square called San Marco today. There's like a million pigeons(鸽子). A guy put bird food on his jacket, and all these birds landed on him. When he walked, all the pigeons stayed on him. I took a thousand pictures.

Mary

Hey, Mary,

The pigeon guy seems crazy. There's no way I'd let a number of pigeons stand on me. Yuck! I can't wait to see the pictures. Can you e-mail one to me? I'll take it in tomorrow and show Benny. He likes pigeons.

Lex

Hi, Lex,

My camera is old-fashioned, so I can't e-mail pictures. Today we went to museums. Every other building here is a museum. I think people here must be very artistic or something.

Mary

Hey, Mary,

Yeah. I read that Michelangelo lived there. Did you see him? Oh, never mind. He's dead. Well, did you see any art by him? We had a math test today. And there's a new kid in class. Her name is Sydney. She's cool. She's from California.

Lex

Lex,

Tell me more about the new kid. Remember we're BFF, so don't get a new best friend. I'll be back on Saturday. Don't get a new BF before then, okay?

"I just gave birth to 5 babies last weekend." Isn't that exciting? Oh, you don't believe me? "Okay then, I stole some money from a bank on Saturday night." Now do you believe me? Actually, I hope you don't. April 1st, or April Fool's Day is the day when we play jokes on people. Do you have it in your country?

April Fool's Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Year's Day was celebrated on April 1st. If they were teased, they were called fools.

Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For example, someone might put salt in the sugar bottle, so another person could put it in his coffee "by accident". Or someone might change the time on another person's alarm clock so that the person would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked.

After we play the trick, we say "April Fool". Then the poor person realizes he has been fooled. It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesn't cause any real harm to anyone. Do you have any great jokes to play on anyone? Try it out.
