We all know teeth are important to us, and we have National Teeth-Loving Day on September 20 th every year. Do you know the life cycle of teeth in your mouth? Children under 6 years old have 20 baby teeth. From 6 to 13, people lose their baby teeth one by one. Now permanent teeth(恒牙)begin to grow. Between the ages of 17 and 25, some people grow wisdom teeth(智齿). Of course, wisdom teeth don't make you any smarter. They look like a symbol(象征)of being grown-ups(成年人).

Do you know how to keep our teeth strong and healthy? Let's look at the following tips.

What we can do:

Brush your teeth in the morning and before bedtime.

Brush for at least two or three minutes every time.

Brush up and down on every tooth.

Use a dental floss(牙线)for your teeth to make them cleaner.

Get a new toothbrush every three months.

What we can't do:

Don't eat too much sweet food, like candy and ice cream, or don't drink too much soda.

Don't eat very hard food. That can hurt your teeth.

Don't eat snacks before bedtime.

It's clear that healthy teeth help us eat food to let us grow. They help us speak clearly. And yes, they help us look good.

Using iPads to Make Learning Fun

Paper, pencil, whiteboard, textbook are the tools you need if you want to go to school. But recently, you can add another one to the list: an iPad.

Because the popular Apple tablet is not only useful for searching the Internet and watching videos, but it is also being used to make learning fun.

Scientists now know that we learn better when we are enjoying ourselves, so recently software developers have made iPad applications(应用程序) that look like video games, but have strong educational content. One of the best examples of this new form of teaching application is Futaba, a game in which up to four children try to recognize a spinning(旋转的) object, and then identify what it is. The game can be used to teach English, math, foreign languages, or just about anything, and students love it. Teachers can even make their own questions. The important thing is that children enjoy the game, and don't even realize how much they are learning!

So the next time you have to choose between making your child study or letting them play a game, just remember…they could do both at the same time!
