Your school days should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you gain the most from them, and make sure that you do not waste this wonderful chance to learn?

Be positive about school! Don’t say things which are difficult or boring. 【小题1】 Join in lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go round the school with a big smile.

【小题2】 School is not a holiday camp. If you are not working, you are not learning, you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.

Keep fit. If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class.【小题3】 Play some sports to keep your body strong.

Do today’s work today.【小题4】 Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish a race if you rest all the time.

Don’t be too disappointed if things sometimes go bad. Everyone fails some tests, loses some matches and has bad days. Friends are not always perfect, and they sometimes say and do unpleasant things.【小题5】

Follow my advice, and have a happy school life!

During his school's “College Colours Day”, a fourth-grade boy in Florida, who dreams to become a student of the University of Tennessee, wanted to wear a shirt of the university, but he didn't have one. His teacher, Laura Snyder, suggested that he should wear an orange shirt to show his spirit.

When the day finally arrived, the boy was so excited to show his shirt-an orange one with a piece of paper attached to it, on which was his homemade design of the UT logo.

But by lunch time, the spirited fan was in tears. Some girls bullied (霸凌) him and made fun of his design that he had pinned to his shirt. Back to Snyder 's room, he put his head on desk and was crying, devastated.

In hopes of raising the boy's spirits, Snyder planned on buying him an official University of Tennessee T-shirt, and asked friends online if they had contacts with the university who could “make it a little extra special for him.”

The post immediately went viral and Snyder was contacted by the University of Tennessee informing her that they wanted to send the boy a care package of swag and apparel(服装) in support of him.

The story, however, didn't end here. The University of Tennessee said it was turning his “U.T.” design into an official T-shirt and had pre-sold more than 50,000 shirts online. The university won't profit from the shirts: It is donating the money to a charity dedicated to (致力于) getting rid of bullying of all forms.

“When I told him that his design was being made into a real shirt and people wanted to wear it, his jaw dropped," said Snyder. “He had a big smile on his face, walked taller, and I could tell his confidence grew!”

In recognition of the fourth-grader's spirit, the university has also extended an offer of honorary admission for him to join the Class of 2032. In addition, he has been awarded a four-year scholarship if he decides to attend UT in 2028 and meets admission requirements.

Back to School: Tips to Help Students Adjust

Going back to school can be a scary, trying time for some students. Their worries may be related to adjusting to a new school, fear of what this school year will be like, being accepted by classmates or teachers and feeling pressure to get good grades. These tips can help students adjust:

For students attending a new school, visit the school in advance if possible. Many schools will offer student, parent and teacher conferences before school starts. 【小题1】. Additionally, it allows an opportunity for parents and students to see the new school.

Review academic expectations. Identify where at home students will sit to do homework each day, such as at their desk or the kitchen table. When are they expected to start their homework? Review expectations for grades and how the family will address academic challenges. 【小题2】 .

Develop a good life routine for school. Make sure students sleep enough and develop consistent sleep routines, so students are able to mentally and emotionally prepare for bedtime. 【小题3】 and proper nutrition can help prepare students for learning. If they’re hungry, they’re more likely to have difficulty focusing.

【小题4】 . School years are a time for students to learn how to navigate relationships outside of their family and prepare them for adulthood. At times, that may mean working through a conflict or disagreement with a peer or a teacher. Developing an approach or a plan for unexpected matters is necessary.

There are times when routines and plans aren’t enough. If students don’t think they are adjusting well to school, reach out for additional support. 【小题5】. You can also seek support outside of the school system through a behavioral health provider or your primary care provider.
