Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident when you are studying. But unluckily, .most students don’t know how to take notes.
If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus on (关注) lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat them.
Don’t try to write down every word in class, or you might miss some important points. Some students really learn better with the help of these notes.
Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you’ve missed. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.
Comparing your notes with your classmates can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes.
Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one place, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.
Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy your notes every evening, you’ll surely have less time to watch TV. But you’ll save time in the coming test.

Do you know how much water a family of four uses every day in the United States? Not 50 gallons, not 100 gallons, but 400 gallons! You could take up to 10 baths with that much water—but who would want to do that? Fortunately, there are many things we can do to save.
Shower Power!
Taking a shower uses much less water than filling up a bathtub. A shower only uses 10 to 25 gallons, while a bath takes up to 70 gallons! If you do take a bath, be sure to plug the drain right away and adjust the temperature as you fill the tub. To save even more water, keep your shower under five minutes long—try timing yourself with a clock next time you hop in!
Fix That Leak（渗漏）!
Fixing a toilet leak is a great way to reduce household water use and boost water conservation. If your toilet has a leak, you could be wasting about 200 gallons of water every day. That would be like flushing（冲）your toilet more than 50 times for no reason! Try this experiment: ask your parents to help you test for leaks by placing a drop of food coloring(色素) in the toilet tank. If the color shows up in the bowl without flushing, you have a leak!

March 20th is World Oral Health Day. The day is set up to help people around the world know the importance of oral health. |

Oral (口腔) health is of great importance. Our mouth is the first place where food goes. Keeping our mouth clean and healthy helps our stomach work well. And teeth play an important part in life, too. The healthier our teeth are, the happier we look. Some of us have tooth problems, so we don’t want to meet other people much. And we may smile or talk less.
A dentist from Beijing shares some oral health tips with us.
●It’s best to brush your teeth every day. You should brush your teeth for three to five minutes at a time, two to three times a day.
●Use dental floss (牙线)If you have straight teeth, then using dental floss once a week is enough. If not, use it every day but not too often.
●Go to the dentist

Ma is more than 180 centimeters tall but he is really thin. To build a stronger body, he begins to jump rope.
“The training is really hard. I practice every day for four to five hours,” Ma says, “The jump rope triple needs great strength (力量). When I finish training, my abs (肢肌) and back are painful (疼痛的).”
After breaking the record, Ma says, “I hope more people enjoy jump rope because it’s good for your health and it’s full of fun.”
How to do jump rope safely? Here are some tips from Ma.
● Do a warm-up before jumping. It prevents (阻止) you from getting hurt.
