C
You may not realize (意识到) it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also like the place where you learn to get on well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates?
If you find out that you have problems getting on with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change how other people act, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently. Being different does not always mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep temperate and open mind.
You need to remember an old saying, "Treat others how you want to be treated." If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.
It is important to practise tolerance, because it will make everyone's life easier. Learn to accept (接受) people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very different and practising tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.
