Money can’t buy happiness, right? Well, not true. According to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal(华尔街日报), over the past few years, new research has given us a much deeper understanding of the relationship(关系) between what we earn and how we feel. The research may show us the result: Yes, people who earn more money, generally speaking, are happier than those who earn little. But the research also shows that you have to spend your money properly if you expect it to bring you happiness. Here are some suggestions for you to spend your money in a better way:

Buy experiences, not material goods.

In a recent study, Ryan Howell, a professor from San Francisco State University in the US, found that when people didn’t have enough money to enjoy a trip, they preferred to buy some material goods. But travelling with your family or friends may bring you more happiness and the wonderful memory of the travel experience will stay in your mind for many years.

Buy lots of little things, rather than one big thing.

No matter how much money you spend on something and how special that product is, you will get used to having it over time and it will become just another object. People like having new things, but the happiness it brings to you will soon disappear. Buying small things can give us small pleasures often and you can get different surprises and happiness from different small things.

Be sure to buy time, too.

It’s also important to consider how the things you buy will affect how you spend your time. For example, buying that big house in the countryside may seem to be a good idea, but according to The Wall Street Journal, people who spend more time on the way to work are not so happy as those who live near the workplace.

Try giving it away.

Elizabeth Dunn, a professor of a University in Canada, found that in countries such as Canada, South Africa and Uganda, giving away money to the poor made people happier. This was even true when people were giving away even when they themselves were really poor.

Everybody wants to be healthy. How do you keep healthy?

Food is very important for you. There are many healthy foods. You can have more bananas, apples, oranges, tomatoes, carrots because fruit and vegetables are good for you. But don't eat too much chocolate and meat. They are not good healthy food. Healthy food can make you grow and make you strong and happy. Remember there is a saying (谚语), “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”

Sports can also keep you healthy. Get up early and do some sports every day. Don’t be lazy ( 懒惰的)! You will be healthy and happy. You will be healthy if you remember to eat healthy food and do some sports.

As a teacher，I spent a lot of time creating a good classroom environment. After all，even with great lessons and curriculum，it doesn't work well if the students in your classroom can't focus（集中）and don't feel valued. Here are a few tips to create the best classroom environment.

First，let's talk about desk arrangement. 【小题1】 Personally，I either used group seating or in a u-shape where everyone faced the teacher. I found that these desk arrangements helped students work together and feel included in the discussion. This way there weren't any students far away. I also made sure to have plenty of space so I could walk around and easily help all of my students. 【小题2】 I hate having piles of paper and school supplies everywhere，which makes it hard for me to relax at home. The same goes for the classroom. The best way to organize is to have plenty of baskets and organizational units. Having baskets for kids to turn in their work gives them direction. 【小题3】 Having student work posted helps kids feel valued. I often changed my notice boards to keep things interesting. I also put up posters and poems to help students with their work. One thing I like is putting up a clothes pin and giving kids the chance to choose what work to show.

【小题4】 Each teacher has to learn about their students and developmental levels. However，these tips are a great place to start.
