How do you find happiness every single day? How do you get more out of life and live life to the fullest? There are three easy ways to help you to enjoy your daily life.

One way to find happiness within you is to show your appreciation（感激）to others. Showing appreciation gives happiness to others, at the same time, we can receive happiness in return by writing a letter of appreciation and for the reply we get.

Often maybe you are strict with yourself by telling yourself you could have done things better. Have a look at your life and think about what you have achieved today. So take 5 minutes right now to write down what you have achieved in life and what you take pride in.

Have you ever kept a diary? Sometimes writing things down will give you a clear thinking and allows you to let go of things. When you write in a diary, you have the ability to express yourself as you truly would like to be.

Each of the above three easy steps takes only 15 minutes. Not only can it produce happiness for you, but also it will help others be in good feelings. Why not have a try right now?

Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn’t have any machines.

Life today has new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution makes our rivers and lakes dirty. It killed our fish and polluted our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It’s bad to all living things in the world. Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day.

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before they pour it into the river.

We need to do some things, too. We can go to work by bus, on foot or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.

Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.   

People often say reading makes a wise man. To be a good reader, you have to remember about the speed（速度）of reading. Usually, we choose different speeds because we read different kinds of books. When we read for different purposes（目的）, we need different speeds, too.

Something should be read slowly, such as instructions（说明）for making or doing something, math problems, science books or history books. Then we can remember each important step and understand each important idea.

Something should be read quickly, such as simple stories, letters from friends and news from newspapers. These are about telling what is happening now.

In some of our reading, we need to read some pages quickly and then slow down and do more careful reading when we find important ideas.

In a word, it’s helpful to know more about how to do better in reading.
