There are many things we need to know, but we do not learn them at school. For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare(比较) the prices of things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands (品牌). We need to know how to make sensible choices when we shop.
Knowing how to make such choices is a “life skill”, and we need the skill if we want to lead a useful and happy life.
Some of these choices are small. For example, will I have an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I take a bus to school today or will I walk? Will I wear the red T- shirt or the blue one to go to the movie? Other choices are more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food? Will I work hard on all my classes or will I work hard only in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like these every day.
Making wrong choices can cause unhappiness. We have to realize that the choices we make can affect the rest of our life. And our choices can also affect other people. If you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movie, consider this: who else does your choice affect?

Yesterday morning when I opened my eyes，it was half past six already. I got up quickly and ran to the bus stop without having breakfast. When I got on the bus，it started raining. “I am sure I can get to the school on time，” I thought. Suddenly， the bus stopped. There was something wrong with the bus. The driver asked us to wait for another one.
“I can’t wait. The school is not far. I can run to school”, I thought. Then I began to run， but it began to rain hard.
I reached the classroom， but I was all wet. The Math teacher， Mr. Li， was in the classroom. We were afraid of him and I didn’t like his Math lessons. I said， “I’m sorry， Mr. Li. I’m late.”
“It’s you again， Wang Bin. I told you not to be late，but you…” He suddenly(突然) stopped and looked at my wet clothes. Then he took off his jacket and gave it to me.
“Now，take off your wet coat and put this one on，” he said kindly.
I went to my seat，wearing Mr. Li’s jacket. It was too big but I felt very warm in it. I found，for the first time，that math class was very interesting，so I learned a lot that day.
