They exercise regularly. Exercise is good for health, both physical and mental health. You don't need to spend two hours in the gym. Just a thirty-minute walk can be enough. To get the most out of a workout, simply pick an activity you enjoy. They don't seek happiness in things.

Definition

A profile picture is the image that represents a social media account in all its interactions on a platform. Profile pictures are displayed next to the account names on posts, comments and mentions, depending on the platform.

Profile pictures make a visual impact on social media users and potential customers, making it important for businesses to select the right images. For a company, a profile picture should be the best part of that brand’s image, usually combining its logo.

How to select a profile picture

Profile pictures should be easily recognizable as belonging to your business. While using an independent logo is the most common strategy, some brands use a lifestyle image that includes that logo.

●Make images simple and visually striking.

●Always meet requirements of the platform’s image size.

If the platform allows, add a description to your profile picture that includes links to your website.

Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.

And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.

But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, “learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.

In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying(欺负人).

As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge(海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place --- to teach!

Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.
