Hi, I’m Amy. I’m here to help you with any study-related (有关系的) problem, big or small. Please send me a message anytime.

—Amy

My problem is time — I don’t have enough time. Next month, I will have twelve exams. How can I possibly study for all of them? I think it’s difficult and impossible.

—Cindy

Hi, Cindy. It isn’t impossible but you have to get started now. Make a study plan and prepare for each subject. It’s better to study for an hour a day than just once a week, all day.

—Amy

I share a bedroom and a desk with my sister. When we study at the desk together, she distracts (使分心) me because she is noisy. I try to talk with her about it, but she gets angry. Can you help me?

—Jane

Hi, Jane. You and your sister can use the desk at different times. You can talk about it with her. Or you can study at the school library a few times a week. If it’s easier to write instead of (而不是) talking face to face, try messaging her and explain (解释) how you feel.

—Amy

I’m silly. I just find it hard to study. I always stop and start and I keep getting the feeling that I’m learning wrong things. I don’t think you can really help me.

—Liza

Liza, you’re not silly at all! Lots of students have the same experience as you. Sometimes things will improve if you join a study group. Join a group and meet twice or three times a week after school to study together. It’s helpful for lots of students.

—Amy

It is important for each child to get enough sleep every day. Here, we’ll learn more about that.

1.

It usually depends on (取决于) their age. Newborns of 0 to 3 months should sleep for about 18 hours a day. Babies of 4 to 11 months should start to sleep through the night, for 9 to 12 hours at a time. 2. Children of 3 to 5 years should get 11 to 13 hours a day. Children of 6 to 13 need 9 to 11 hours of sleep. Teenagers (青少年) of 14 and up need 8 to 10 hours of sleep.

3.

Set a strict nap timetable (小睡时间表). Younger children should take a short sleep during the day. Even older children can benefit (获益 ) from late-afternoon naps if they don’t get enough sleep at night. 4.

Pay attention to screen time. Remember to ask children to turn off the television and the computer an hour before they go to bed. If possible, get them out of their bedrooms since the light from the screens can make sleep a difficult job.

Get children moving. 5. Running around and playing sports are great, but children can move in other ways too. They can take a dog for a walk or go to the park — just get them out of the house and get them moving.

One day, my three-year-old granddaughter Emily fell from her bike when I was cooking in the kitchen. I ran to help her get up. When she saw the blood (血) on her knees, she started to cry. I took her in my arms, saying words of comfort (安慰) as I carried her into the house.

With much comfort, she let me wash and put ointment (药膏) on her knees. I kissed her and asked, “All better now, sweetie?”

“No, Grandma. You must say the Mommy words,” she said. I didn’t know what she meant. Then she added, “You know, Grandma. Mommy says them to make me feel better.” Emily took a deep breath (呼吸) and started to recite (吟诵), “A little kiss, a little hug, I give you these, with all my love ...”

My mind raced and I remembered. They were the same words that I had recited to my children, my mother to me, and her mother to her. My grandmother had died when my mother was eight. There had been nothing left but her dear memories. When she became a mother herself, she passed on the love of her mother and the Mommy words. Hearing them now, I understood that although I had never met my grandmother, I did know her. We were mothers — we were close at heart.

“Grandma, I am all better,” Emily said after she finished reciting. We kissed and hugged, and recited the Mommy words together.
