B Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them, and make sure you do not waste this excellent chance to learn?
Be active at school. Don't say things are difficult or boring. Be interested in school life and your school subjects. Join in lots of activities. Put up your hands quickly in class. Go around the school with a big smile. If you are not working, you are wasting your time at school.
Keep fit. If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Do sports every day in order to keep your body strong.
Face the problem. Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. (A) You can not accomplish the race, if you rest all the time. Everyone fails some exams, loses some matches and has bad days. Don't let small problems seem very big and important. Don't forget to ask for help. You are young. No one thinks you must do everything quite well!
(B) Don't waste time lying in bed on Saturday or Sunday morning. Go and play a sport, get together with friends in the park to relax, learn the piano, or do some volunteer work. 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 your mother with housework.
Do as I say, and have a happy school life!
