Hello! I want to be the Sports Leader in our class. I believe that I can be the right person for this role.

Firstly, I’m always active in sports activities both in and out of school. And I have a strong interest in all kinds of sports. Those sports have helped me make more friends and develop good teamwork spirit.

Secondly, if I can be the Sports Leader, I will do my best to serve the class. I will organize more interesting sports activities to make our classes more active and full of energy. I will also help classmates improve their sports performance and make everyone enjoy the fun of sports.

What’s more, I will be a good listener. I will listen to everyone’s suggestions and try my best to meet your needs.

Hi, I’m Jack. I really want to share an unforgettable experience with you.

Last month, our school organized a labor (劳动) practice activity in a nearby community. I joined in this meaningful activity with great excitement.

On the day of the activity, we arrived at the community early in the morning. Our task was to help clean up the public areas, plant some flowers and paint walls in several buildings. At first, I felt a bit nervous because I had never done such manual (体力的) work before. However, with the help of the teachers and community workers, I quickly learned how to use the tools properly and started to work.

The most difficult part for me was painting the walls. It required a lot of attention and patience. After a few hours, my arms were sore, and I felt too tired. But looking at the freshly painted wall, I couldn’t help feeling proud of myself.

Through this labor practice experience, I not only learned practical skills but also understood the importance of hard work. I would like to take part in more activities like this in the future.

Perseverance (毅力) is very important in all areas of life. It means not giving up, even when facing challenges (挑战) along the way. The power of perseverance lies in its ability to turn dreams into reality and shape our future.

When we set goals (目标), challenges are unavoidable. Perseverance allows us to deal with these hurdles rather than giving up. It helps us to learn from failures and use these lessons to improve our plans. This cycle of trying and improving can help us make great achievements.

Moreover, perseverance helps us grow personally. By sticking to our goals through good and bad times, we develop strength and decision. These not only help us reach our present goals but also prepare us to face challenges bravely in the future.

The value of perseverance is also seen in group efforts (努力). Teams that show perseverance are more likely to go through hard times together and become stronger. Members will encourage each other to keep going. And of course they will realize goals that once seemed out of reach.

Perseverance is about more than just reaching our goals. It’s about shaping ourselves. It shows us that success depends not only on talent or luck but also on the continuous effort and hard work. Through perseverance, we discover our hidden strength and create a way for a more meaningful, successful and satisfying life.

What’s the fastest and most effective (有效的) way to learn? What’s the secret to remembering what you learn?

THE LEARNING PYRAMID

The “learning pyramid (金字塔)” suggests that most students only remember 5% from lectures (讲授). They remember 10% of what they read from textbooks, but get nearly 90% of what they learn through teaching others.

The most common form of teaching others is Peer Tutoring (同伴辅导). It is a really fun and helpful way to learn. It means that we teach each other and help each other. We like peer tutoring because it makes learning more exciting and it makes us feel like we are part of a team.

To do peer tutoring, we can take turns being the teacher. The teacher explains a subject, and the student tries to understand it. If the student doesn’t get it right away, the teacher helps them understand it. It’s important to ask questions and give positive feedback (积极反馈) to each other. Then, they can both learn and have fun at the same time.

Peer tutoring is really good for our brains because it helps us remember things better. When we teach others, we have to think about it really hard to make sure we explain it right. And when others teach us, we need to listen carefully and try to understand what they’re saying. This helps us learn better.

So if you’re looking for a way to make learning more fun and effective, try peer tutoring! You’ll be surprised at how much you can learn from each other.
