    Before you start your day, the following habits are good for you.

    Music can make you relaxed and is good for your health. Listening to music before work will bring you a relaxing day.

    The hot shower will help you to get a good stretch. The stretch will make you start the day feeling more relaxed.

    Breakfast is known as "the most important meal of the day". A balanced breakfast is important for every one of us. Be sure to have some milk and fruit.

    A morning walk can let you get ready for the day, help you sleep better at night and so on.

    Taking time to sit down and make a list of your activities for the day allows you to have a greater sense of orderliness.

    Today, people are paying more and more attention to improving their health through sports and exercise. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.

    In fact, the best meal before games should have carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Foods like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich in it, but chicken and meat are not. Carbohydrates are the best and most easily used form of energy. The energy that you get for today's game is from what you ate yesterday!

    No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be suitable for you. If an afternoon or evening period suits you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. There is no fixed time for you to exercise.

    The fact is that you must have some water during breaks when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have enough water. If you don't drink enough water, then you'll probably get headaches and feel tired.

    False. Exercising the same body part every day is the fastest way to cause problems. To improve strength, you want to work your muscles(肌肉) hard, but then you need to give those muscles a day of rest. Too much exercise can cause serious problems to muscles.

    Wrong. We usually connect those big muscles with bodybuilders(健美运动员), but girls don't have enough male hormone(雄性激素) to make their muscles big like men. Strength training is a good way to make their muscles strong for girls.

How to be a better student

    Maybe you are a common student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:

    When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First set your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

    Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or televisions! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

    Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

    When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the materials will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

    The purpose of tests is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be too worried.

There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover them after you have tried these,

    Mom and dad are two of the most important people in your life.. If your mom loves to read，you may like to take a book wherever you go，just like she does.

    But many kids can't get on well with their parents. The kids don't think that their parents can understand them. Some kids always say their parents are too strict with them.？Here are some tips.

    Spend more time together. Don't spend so much time playing computer games or watching TV.. Go out to do something，try some new games，or just read a book together.

    . Many kids want their parents to help them when they feel upset，but your mom and dad may not know that you are having a problem. Tell them what's the matter with you and they will be glad to help you.

    . You don't have to be perfect(完美的)，but if you do your best，you'll make your parents happy.

    I'm not going to stay at home every evening. I'm going to visit the college and get some information about language classes. I'm interested in Japanese I also want to do a cookery class. I don't know how to cook and I just eat in restaurant.

    Those are my plans. What are you going to do to change your life this year?
