Yang Li, a five-year-old girl living next door to me, very clever. Because she is not old enough to go to the school, she often asks me to teach herself to read, write and draw. She studies hardly and soon she learns a lot. One evening last month I was doing my English homeworks when she came to my house. She asked me how I learned English. “You would find English a bridge for so much knowledge,” I said. She then wanted to learn English, either. She has learned many English words so far but her parents are very grateful to me.

We are going to take the College Entrance Exams in about sixteen days. Therefore, many students still don’t know what to balance their study, rest and physical exercises while prepared for the Exams. They usually devote too much time to go over their lessons, what results in a poor health and low efficiency of learning.
As the proverb goes, early to bed and early to rise make a man healthy, wealthy and wise. We’d better leave us enough time to rest and sleep since it enables us to learn our lessons more efficient. What’s more, a strong and healthy body is the base for our further study, future work and creative activities.
In brief, as we are preparing for the Exams, don’t forget that rest, exercise and study were equally important.
