Our students’ English handwriting gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? 【小题1】

Use paper with lines

When you write English words or sentences, you can use paper with lines. That will make your handwriting straight. 【小题2】 Fill the lined space completely. And make sure those capital letters are written properly.

Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, just slow down a little. 【小题3】 If you write too quickly, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and you may make more mistakes easily.

【小题4】

When you hold you pencil in the correct way, writing is much better. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting bad. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.

Draw more pictures

【小题5】 While you are drawing pictures, you need use the skills to control you pencil better. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by writing at home.

Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs (亲笔签名), of course!

It’s healthy to eat at home. But sometimes you just want to eat out. How can you have a delicious and healthy meal at the restaurant near home? The following ways can help you.

Before you order, you’d better have a good look at the menu. Have no idea what the dish is? Ask the waiter. Then you don’t need to eat any food you don’t like. It’s good for you to order some fish and vegetables.

When you are enjoying your food, use a small plate and eat slowly. A small plate can help you eat less, but make you feel full quickly.

You may want a piece of cake for dessert after the meal. Stop! There is too much sugar in it. All you really need is some oranges. If there isn’t any fresh fruit at the restaurant, don’t order any more.

It’s time to go home. Don’t take the bus or taxi. Take a walk, please.

Matt jumped into bed. His father sat down beside him.

“What kind of day did you have?” he asked.

“It was a bad day for me,” Matt answered. “I had a fight with Ned. The teacher sent a note home about me. And Mom talked about it with me.”

“Yes, part of the day was bad,” Mr. Gold said. “But there were good parts, too. Now it’s time to go to sleep. So, tell me about the best thing today.”

Matt smiled. “After school I went fishing,” he said. “No one wanted to go with me. So I had to go alone. I didn’t think I would have any fun. But I did! I caught a fish!”

“I’m glad you had a good time,” Mr. Gold said. “Think about it until(直到)you go to sleep. Happy dreams!”

“Good night, Dad,” Matt said.

His father kissed(亲吻)him good night.

Every night, Mr. Gold and Matt have a little talk like this.

Every night, Matt answers the same question. “What was the best thing that happened to you today?”

Every night Matt goes to sleep thinking about the best thing. He has many happy dreams!

Sometimes he has to think hard to find the best thing. Sometimes it is a very small thing. But he always finds one good thing to think about.

Matt’s father taught his son a good way to end his day. You may want to try it. If you do, why not begin this every night?
