When you are travelling by plane, there are some passengers you just don't want to have next to you.

      ①  

    Perhaps you normally like them , but when you are sitting next to them on a plane it is a different thing. They usually spend all flight moving around and dropping their toys on the floor, and when they are drinking their orange juice ,it ends up on your trousers. Then they decide they want to play with you. So you can't have the little sleep.

      ② 

     You can realize this type as soon as you sit down. They immediately start talking about the plane , or the weather, or they ask you a personal question. It is very difficult not to talk to these people . You'll probably have to keep talking until the plane landed.

      ③  

    These are the people with white faces who sit down and immediately ask for something to drink. Every five minutes they call a flight attendant(服务生)to ask if there are any problems with the plane. They also tell you about air accident. The best thing to do is to pretend to sleep.

       ④    

    These people are not necessarily very big. But they have a terrible habit of taking up all their room, and some of your room too. They usually sit with their arms and legs in your space.

Four ways to have a good school life

    Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them, and be sure you do not waste (浪费) this great chance to learn?

    Be active (积极的) at school

    Don't say things are difficult or boring. Take interest in school life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Put up your hands quickly in class. Go around the school with a big smile. If you are not working, you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable (令人愉快的).

    Keep fit

    If you don't eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and don't have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play enough sports every day in order to keep your body strong.

    Face the problem

    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 the race if you rest all the time. Everyone fails some exams, loses some matches and has bad days. Don't make small problems very big and important. Don't forget to ask for help. You are young, and no one thinks you must do everything quite well!

    Spend the weekends

    Don't waste time lying in bed on Saturday or Sunday morning. Go and play sports, get together with friends in the park to relax, learn to play the piano, or help someone with problem. If you don't want to go out, there are also a lot of things to do. You may read a book, practice English or help Mum with housework.

    Follow our advice, and have a happy school life!
