How to Succeed in High School
You have been familiar with the learning environment in your middle school, and it feels like home. So it is not always easy to say"1 " to middle school.
After entering high school, you may face some new challenges. The schoolwork may become more difficult and require greater skills. Most students need support. Teachers and parents may give you a hand. However, you can't2 others all the time. What can you do?Here are some suggestions：
Understand what kind of learner you are. Do you need silence to focus?Then make sure the TV is not on when you are studying. Provide yourself with a3 learning environment at home. Some students focus better in the morning；others at night. Find the right4 so that your efforts will work well.
Learn to be better organized. It might be helpful when you get used to making a to—do—lit of all your schoolwork, and checking each item off when it is completed. Try to5 your work. This will create smaller, more manageable tasks out of the larger ones. Big projects seem less difficult if they are done step by step.
Form good reading habits. Read every day — the more, the better. It doesn't matter what you read. Reading newspaper regularly is a good choice. Newspapers provide plenty of details and background. 6 ,information you get from newspapers is usually official and true.
High school life can be enjoyable. Old friendships might come undone and new ones will develop. Hope you will feel confident and perform well in high school!
"Meatballs again?I hate meatballs!" Henry cried loudly. "I'm not eating this!" Henry's mum and dad looked at each other. This was the second time this week that Henry had c about his dinner.
"We're going to let you take over dinnertime. You can pick the food and cook your meals，'Mum said.
"Good. We're going to eat good food every night!" Henry answered.
The next day，Henry sat down to write the meal p"We're going to have chicken tonight，and noodles tomorrow，" Henry said.
"Are we going to have anything ebesides chicken?We need to have at least one vegetable for each meal，"，said Mum.
"We can have cabbage，"Henry said.
After he finished shopping，it was time to make his fmeal. He believed that this would be his favourite meal. Since he had never cooked，his parents were both there to help him. "There's a lot to do，"Henry thought，as he looked at the mess in the kitchen. He was usually playing games outside while his parents were making dinner.
It took almost two hours to cook. When dinner was finally finished，Henry was tired and h. But he was so excited—he made dinner!
"I don't like cabbage，" cried Sophia，Henry's little sister，at the table. Henry felt quite upset. He had worked so hard on dinner，but it was ito get everyone happy about every part of every meal!
"I'm sorry. I didn't know this could be so hard，" Henry felt like he might cry. He began to rhow his parents felt every time at the dinner table.
"It's 0K，Henry. You worked really hard. We' ll take back dinner responsibilities. You'll have to do it enough when you're grown up，"Dad said.
Henry felt released. He happily finished his dinner and never got angry at dinner table again.
"Just because you can't see something, that doesn't mean it's not there. "This old saying is quite meaningful for British sculptor（雕刻家） Willard. The items he creates are so small that most of them fit on the head of a pin. You can see them clearly only through a microscope（显微镜）.
Many people want to own his art pieces. He's been honored by the Queen of England for his great art achievements. At every one of his exhibitions, the question is always the same. How does he do it?
The answer is very, very carefully. So carefully, in fact, that he actually slows his breathing down and works in between breaths. Willard usually works under a microscope using special tools that he creates. To paint his works, he uses the hair from a fly as a paintbrush.
Creating these detailed works is a very long and difficult process, and it isn't always enjoyable. " It is a terrible dream when I start but a nice dream when I finish," he says. A single item can take at least several weeks to complete.
People have asked Willard why he chose to do something that needed effort and took time. His interest in creating small things began when he was five. He started creating houses and playgrounds for ants. Willard was not a strong student. He had difficulty in reading and spelling words. Some kids used to call him a loser. This made him feel small, so focusing on lite things helped him to feel big. The smaller his work got, the bigger he felt. A newspaper reporter said, "Willard has shown the world that he is special. Though▲ , he▲. "
