All students need to have good habits(好习惯): When you have good study habits, you learn things quickly. You also remember them easily.
Do you like to study in the living room? This is not a good place because it is usually too noisy. The telephone bell rings there; the TV is there, and sometimes it is a good place for your pet dog or cats to play and rest. You need to study in a quiet place, like your bedroom. A quiet place will help you only think about one thing, and you will learn better.
Before you begin to study, do not forget to clean your desk. A good desk light is important, too. You’ll feel tired easily if there is not enough light(光线). So you should have a clean and bright lamp. To tell you the truth, the most important is that you should put your heart into your study.

The world of the-out-of door is full of secrets. There are so many secrets, and they are so interesting that thousands of men and women, boys and girls are busy studying them. All around us are birds, animals, trees arid flowers. The facts about how they live and grow are interesting.
Do you know that one of the great presidents of the US spent hours and hours studying birds? A businessman lives near New York City. He became so interested in insects that he began to collect them. He now has over one thousand different kinds of them. He keeps them carefully in glass boxes.
Now come with me, and I will help you find some of nature’s secrets. Let us go quietly through the forests and fields. Here we shall find how a hare tells the other hares where there is danger. We shall follow a mother bear and her young ones when they try to look for food and get ready for their long sleep. We shall watch bees dancing in the air to let the other bees where they can find food. I will show you many other interesting things, but the best thing that I can teach you is to keep your eyes and ears open when you go outdoors.

Indonesia is my mother’s homeland and one of my favorite countries. Since I was young, I had learned a lot about the country and become interested in it.

Many children were shy at first. But when they relaxed, they would start talking and telling you a lot of funny things. I believe we were helping them build up their confidence.
