Creating a study plan

Studying is importantto students. But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subjectyou need. So a good plan helps you to make sure of your success in study.

Then, how to make astudy plan? Wel1, you can begin with listing all the subjects you need to studyand make sure what you need to do for each subject. Next, you should decide howmuch time you should spend on different subjects. Now, it is a good idea to studyat the same time every day. In this way, you actually have a plan you canremember easily. While arranging (安排)time foreach subject, you also need to make sure that you still have time for family , friendsand rest. This is because you won't be able to succeed in your studies unlessyou balance your personal life and your study.

Once the plan is made,the next thing you need to do is to follow it. One of the biggest challenges infollowing your study plan is that you will be tempted(诱惑)to avoid it and do something relaxing, or fun instead. Luckily, youcan fight this temptation by taking breaks. But be sure not to take extrabreaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan. So at the start of yourbreak, set an alarm clock to remind you when your break is over. Also, you needto use your break wisely. For example, go for a short walk, eat a snack, orlisten to some music.

To avoid forgetting tofollow your plan, try to get into the habit of looking at your calendareveryday. Sometimes our plans are hard to follow because some important peoplein our lives distract(使分心)us from our goals. Inorder to avoid this, tell people in your life about your plan. Put up a copy ofyour study guide at home so you and your family can see it, and email a copy toyour friends so they know when you have spare time.

Jack's friend Sally isn't fine these days.

One day she asks Jack for help. And she tells Jack about her eating habits. For breakfast, she always eats some bread. For lunch, she always has some chicken. She likes eating ice-cream and a hamburger in the evening.

"They're not healthy for you, Sally," Jack says. "I know, but I like them," Sally says.

"What about vegetables? Do you like eating carrots?" Jack asks.

"No, I don't," Sally says.

"Sally, don't eat ice-cream. You must eat some vegetables and fruit. They are good for you," Jack says.

"I think you're right," Sally says.

In the next days, Sally always eats vegetables and fruit. And she is well now.

It's Mona's eighth birthday. Mr. Black gives her 100 dollars and says, "I know you always want a new watch. Now, you can1 one. 

Mona looks at the money, saying, "Daddy, can you go to the shopping center with2 ? "

"Sure. Let's 3 to the shopping center across from our home, " Mr. Black says. But when they arrive at the center on foot, Mona walks into a4 store. Mr. Black asks, "Mona, 5 do you take me here? "

Mona says, "Daddy, Grandpa lives with us, 6 you're always busy with your work and I'm busy with my homework. He looks lonely{#blank#}1{#/blank#}孤单的）all the time. I want to buy him a radio, and then he can7 it. I can buy a new watch next year. "

Hearing this, Mr. Black keeps 8 for some time. After thinking, he says, "Mona, let me buy a radio for your grandpa. Then, you can still make your9 come true. "

"Oh, that's great, Daddy, " Mona feels10 and says. "Thank you so much. Now, let's find a radio for Grandpa first. "

 On a Sunday morning, Polly goes to a food store to buy some bread.

A man sees four penguins(企鹅) in Polly's car. He asks,"{#blank#}1{#/blank#}"

 Polly says,"I stop my car and they climb in(爬进去). {#blank#}2{#/blank#}"

 The man thinks about it and says," You can take them to the zoo (动物园)."

"{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Thanks for your help," says Polly.

 After two days, Polly goes to the same food store and meets the same man.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} And they all have sunglasses.

" Why are the penguins here?I ask you to take them to the zoo!" says the man.

"{#blank#}5{#/blank#} So, I take them to the sea and go for a swim today."

Once, three fish lived in a pond. One evening, some fishermen passed by the pond and saw the fish. "This pond is full of fish," they told each other excitedly. "We have never fished here before. We must come back tomorrow morning with our nets and catch these fish!" So saying, the fishermen left.

When the eldest of the three fish heard this, he was afraid. He called the other fish together and said, "Did you hear what the fishermen said? We must leave this pond at once. The fishermen will return tomorrow and kill us all!"

The second of the three fish agreed. "You are right," he said. "We must leave the pond."

But the youngest of the three fish laughed. "You are worrying without reason," he said. "We have lived in this pond all our lives, and no fisherman has ever come here. Why should these men return? I'm not going anywhere—my luck will keep me safe."

The eldest of the three fish left the pond that evening with his entire family. The second fish saw the fishermen coming in the distance early next morning and left the pond at once with all his family. The third fish refused to leave even then.

The fishermen arrived and caught all the fish left in the pond, including the third fish's luck.
