Part 1:Character
Character is something that makes you the person you are like being honest,friendly,and helpful.See the chart below.On the left is our standard of good character.Write down your promise for each line on the right.Then,get a witness(证人)to sign it.Put it up where you'll see it every day and do your best to keep it.
| To build your character | Your promise |
| I will do my best to… | |
| be honest and fair. | eg.I'll tell the truth when mom asks if I have finished my homework. |
| be friendly and helpful. | eg.I'll help my friend with lessons. |
| be polite and kind. | eg.I'll show good manners in class. |
| be courageous and strong. | eg.I'll take part in the English singing contest. |
Of course it's going to take a lot of courage t keep your promise.Courage is challenging yourself to do something even though you think it might be hard.For each promise,find out two or three ways to help you keep it.For example,if you think that Being Honest is the hardest promise for you to keep,one of the ways might be"Tell people about my promise so that I won't break it".
