Is there anything more important than health? I don′t think so. You can′ t be good at your studies or work when you are ill. If you have a headache, or a bad cough, or a high temperature and a bad cold, I think you should go to the doctor.

The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse(脉), sound your heart and lungs(肺), and take your temperature. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.

Speaking of doctor′s advice, I can′t help telling you a funny story.

An old man came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his illness.

He told the old man to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enioy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn′t smoke more than one cigarette a day.

A month later the gentleman came into the doctor′s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.

“But you know, doctor,” he said, “It′s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.

First, I think an interest in English is very important. When I learned English first, it was fresh for me. I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, and the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!

Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary. Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever I have a question. I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!

Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well. And I also write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.
