Do you hope to live a better life？Then how to make your wish come true? Keep away from anything that is useless. Do the right thing! However good or bad a situation is, it will change. The best is yet to come. Well, here are some tips for you to follow!

    •Mind your meals

    Try to eat more foods that grow naturally on trees and plants. Have meals on time every day. And remember not to go to school or work without breakfast, for it is more important than lunch or dinner.

    •Exercise and smile

    Each day take a 40-minute walk. Make time to practise some other exercise, such as yoga and Taiji. They provide us with daily energy for our busy lives. Try to smile and make at least three people smile each day.

    •Forget and forgive (原谅)

    Problems appear sometimes and they simply stay for a short time. Forget what happened in the past. Don't always think of your past mistakes. Make peace with your past in order that it won't destroy your present happiness. Life is not very long, so we shouldn't waste time hating anyone. Forgive everyone for everything.

    •Also do such things

    Call your family often and stay in touch with your friends．Each day give something good to others. Cheer up no matter how you feel. Read more books than you did before and you can learn more from them. Don't compare your life to others'.

    Eleven countries are building a great wall of trees across Africa. It is called the Great Green Wall. The aim is to bring life to the dry lands and help to fight the bad environment.

    The wall is 8, 000 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide. It covers from Senegal in the west to Djibouti in the east, on the south of the Sahara Desert (撒哈拉沙漠). So far, Senegal has made the best progress by planting about 11,000,000 trees.

    Many years ago, there were few trees in that area and the winds used to be very strong. It was harmful to the fields. Also, there was little rain, so few plants could grow and many people went hungry. Since the tree planting project started, the trees have provided food for the local people and increased the wetness (湿度) of the air. Little by little, there appeared green fields for people to grow plant.

    The project which began in 2007 is supposed to cost a total of 8, 000, 000, 000 dollars. Many countries are trying their best to help to continue the planting. So we will be able to see the whole green wall across Africa in the near future!
