A to-do list is like a note for you. Write down all the things you want to do or need to finish. It helps you plan your day and make sure you don't forget important things. What's on your list today? Maybe it will look like this.
For my brain Doing homework, reading books
For my body Playing outside, eating delicious fruits and having a health y lunch
For my family | Tidying up my room, calling my grandparents |
For my hobbies | Practicing the violin, doing some painting |
For fun | Playing video games, hanging out with friends |
Remember: put the most important things at the top, like homework before playtime.
Most students wear school uniforms when they go to class every day. In England, students have to wear a school uniform.
What do English students usually wear? Each school has a different uniform: the school can choose its own uniform. Usually, girls have to wear a blouse, a jumper and a jacket, a skirt, tights(连裤袜) and flat shoes(平底鞋). Boys must wear a shirt, a jumper, a jacket, trousers, socks and flat shoes.
How much is the school uniform? The school uniform mustn't cost too much so that all parents can buy it. Children from poor families wear the same clothes as children from rich families. The usual cost of a uniform is about €183.
What are the rules of wearing school uniforms? All students from Year I to Year 11 must wear a uniform and can be punished(惩罚) if they don't follow the rules. Only Year 12 and Year13 students don't have to wear uniforms: they can wear their own clothes.
Five years ago, on my way home on the bus, every night I always found an old man play his saxophone(萨克斯) near the river. I could see the big smile on his face. The beautiful music made me dream(梦想着) to play the saxophone just like that man.
Two weeks later it was my birthday. I opened my present and found that it was a saxophone! I put it to my mouth to play, but it wouldn't make a sound. I blew(吹) and blew but I couldn't get the saxophone to play. I was about to cry when suddenly the saxophone made a sound. I blew again, I moved my fingers on the saxophone and I made more sounds. Some of them were loud(大声的) and clear but many of them weren't. I was happy because I was playing very interesting sounds. But it wasn't beautiful music.
Then came the lesson. Night after night, week after week I practiced hard on playing. Slowly I started to get better and at last there came the magic day when the beautiful music came out of my saxophone.
Now I'm in the TV studio(电视台) with my saxophone. I'm so happy just like the old man near the river.
