Get your schedule (时间表) before the first day of school and look it over a few times. There’s nothing worse than looking terrible on the first day of school. 2.

Smile and be friendly. 4. Smiling can help you get on well with others. Also, you can improve a lot in your studies when there is a friendly atmosphere (气氛), because others will be happy to help you.

If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!

That may seem a strange thing to say. 1. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the glass ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. 2.

For example, your fingers can tell the differences between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.

　　All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. 3. In shops, we touch things that we might buy. To see something well, we have to touch it.
