Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them, and be sure you do not waste (浪费) this great chance to learn?

Be active (积极的) at school Don’t say things are difficult or boring. Take interest in school life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Go around the school with a big smile every day.

Keep fit If you don’t eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late, you will be sleepy in class. Play enough sports every day in order to keep your body strong.

Face the problem Do not say you will do things tomorrow. You cannot finish the race if you rest all the time. Everyone fails some exams, loses some matches and has bad days. Don’t forget to ask for help. You are young, and no one thinks you must do everything quite well!

Spend the weekends Don’t waste time lying in bed on Saturday or Sunday morning. Get together with friends in the park to relax. If you don’t want to go out, there are also a lot of things to do. You may read a book, practice English or help Mum with housework.

Follow our advice, and have a happy school life!

I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of giving directions every time I ask“How can I get to the post office?”

In Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions because most streets don’t have names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight ahead and turn left at the hotel. The post office is across from the bus stop.”

In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are no towns or buildings in many places. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”

People in Los Angeles, California have no idea of distance. They measure (测量) distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask, “Oh,” they answer, “It’s about five minutes from here.”

It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I don’t know.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers, “I don’t know.” People believe in that “I don’t know.” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
