Do you hope to do a lot of homework every evening? Are you interested in your English classes? Who do you want to teach you? Maybe you have lots of questions in your mind before school starts.Well, I want to give you some good advice on these problems.
First, keep calm(平静). Don’t worry about all the problems you have. Put your heart into learning, and you can find something you are interested in. Do it actively.
Second, try your best to finish your homework quickly. Don’t spend a lot of time on it. Do more reading or writing in English. Think about the problems you have and solve them at once. Don’t stay up(熬夜) late, or you can’t study well the next day.
Third, invent something instead of copying or repeating. If you can remember the words in your way, you can tell your teachers you don’t like the way of copying them again and again. Be sure, you must pass the test. I think your teachers will agree with you. And they can give you some interesting work to do.

My dear boys and girls good morning． Today I'm going to talk to you about my understanding of learning history．
Many of you may think it is a terrible thing to study history． You may often wonder why we students should study something that has nothing to do with our own lives．If you think that way， I should say you are far from the truth．
In fact， if we study history． we can learn quite a lot about personal stories and events （事件） of people just like us． The people who came before us helped build and develop the country we are living in． Their ides often solved many of our problems and troubles． Studying the past helps us to understand what our ancestors' （祖先） lives were like， And it also helps us to see how their experiences have shaped our own life．
To be honest，__▲__．Some of what we study in history helps us understand the mistakes of the past．And these mistakes will help people not to do the same wrong things． People often learn from the past to have a better future．
Whether we like the subject of history or not，we must understand the important of the events and the people who came before us． Our ancestors' decisions have influenced our own life．Similarly，the decisions of our own generation （一代人） will finally influence those who come after us．In this only way， the world is truly connected．
History is not just a study of the past． History is the study of people， places and events that can influence the future．
Now do you still think studying history is a sad thing？ Or do you have any doubt about learning history？ If you have any question， just feel free to ask．

Every night， just after the sun goes down． Ruth Medjber talks with her neighbours in Dublin， lreland， and takes a picture of them at their windows．

It was last January， when I'd just finished a charity （慈善） and was on the train back home， that I put down my phone and started writing thank﹣you notes to people who had helped，
When I got off the train， I felt amazingly good． The next day，I wrote more thank﹣yous and the same feeling of happiness hit me again． I suddenly had the idea： Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year？
To keep on task， I decided to pick out a different theme for each month． January was charity．February would be neighbors， I decided， And I thought of a number of names right away： the owner of our local bookstore， who let me and my little son in before the store opened and offered to play his favorite songs； our babysitter， who dropped off a bag of old board games for our kids to play， …
While writing the notes， I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving from app to app， appreciating （欣赏） other people's lives． Writing thank﹣you notes allowed me the time to do something different， paying more attention to my own life．
In the following months， I wrote to my friends， doctors， teachers and parenting role models． In July， my"food" month， I wrote to Julie，who used to cook at my favorite restaurant．It went like this：
Dear Julie，
I've been finding myself missing you lately． Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful and thoughtful food． Jake and I will never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the number VI for our sixth anniversary （周年纪念日）．We talk about it every year．
Thank you． We miss you．
Love，
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her． Julie replied，"I don't think I've ever received such a touching letter before， I' m going through a hard time right now， and this helps．"
On December 31，I wrote my last card ﹣ to Jake， my husband，and our two kids．And I took a picture of us， so I could remember the feeling welling up inside me． Gratitude．
