We send our children to school to prepare them for the time when they will be big and will have to work for themselves. They learn their own language (语言) so that they will be able to tell others clearly what they want and what they know, and understand what others tell them. They learn foreign languages in order to be able to understand the people from other countries and make themselves understood. They learn history to know something about people they meet every day. What they learn at school is, of course, quite useful, but is that the only reason why they go to school?
No, there is more in education (教育) than just learning facts. We go to school, above all (首要的是), to learn how to learn, so that when we leave school, we can continue (继续) to learn. A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful, because whenever (无论何时) he has to do something new, he will quickly teach himself how to do it in the best way. The uneducated person, on the other hand, is not able to do something new, or do it badly. So the purpose (目的) of school is not only to teach the students these useful subjects but also teach the way to learn.

When we say someone is in a blue mood, it means he or she is unhappy or sad. It’s important for everyone to be happy. Here are some fast and easy ways to cheer you up.
Exercise
When you exercise, your brain gives out a chemical called Endorphin (内啡肽). This chemical makes you feel happy. That is why exercise is good for you.
Have a talk
If something or somebody is troubling you, don’t quarrel with other people to relax yourself. It is a good idea to have a heart-to-heart talk with a friend or a family member. Tell them your feelings. A chat is a useful way to make you feel better.
Have some hobbies
For example, playing pop music, drawing something or listening to your favorite music will make you smile. Act like an artist. Draw, paint or make something. Being active and creative makes you feel more satisfied and less nervous.
Laugh more
Laughing is the best way to improve your moods. Children laugh about 400 times a day. Adults only laugh about 20 times a day. What happens? Experts say if we laugh more, we will be happier and healthier.
Think positively
Close your eyes and imagine a beautiful scene or a time. Never think about anything terrible that you can’t change. What’s more, leave your flat and go outside. Sun and fresh air are good for you. Be a kid for a day. Play games, watch comedy movies or read jokes online.
