He likes playing basketball, tennis and pingpong. I like to play soccer, pingpong and computer games. After school, we get home at 5 p.m.. We do our homework and play sports.

Good study habits(习惯) are important for all students. When you have good study habits, you’ll learn faster and find you have a good memory.

Do you usually study in the living room? This is not a good place for study because it is usually too noisy. You need to study in a quiet place, such as your bedroom. A quiet place will help you learn better.

Before you begin to study, do not forget to clean your desk. It helps you study well, too. Light is important, too. You’ll feel tired easily if there is not enough light.

Of all the good study habits you can develop, asking questions is the key. Just ask. No one knows everything, but we can always learn from each other by asking questions.

One simple but important habit is to tell yourself what you’re studying for. Putting your dream grades(理想的分数) on the wall next to your bed or computer means you’ll see and think about it every day.

When do you work best? Are you an early bird, a night owl(猫头鹰), or something in between? Find your most productive work time, and then plan to study at this time.

Teachers’ Day is on September 10^th. It’s a great time to say thank you to your    81     (表示职业的名词)!

You can     82     (一个动词) a thank-you card for your teacher, with nice colors, writing or drawings, to show your best wish.

In Britain, you can give a thank-you card anytime. When you need help and a friend     83    (一个动词)you, it’s important to say     84    (一个名词) . Sometimes they put a kiss on the card, by writing “ X” after their names.

It doesn’t matter how you say thank you,     85     (一个连词) only you say it. Because it tells the people you care.

   Yours,
