High school students are some of the busiest people in the world. To get the most from all you do，you must be in control of your time. Otherwise decisions that affect how well you play the game，what position you play and when you get to play will be decided for you. Your success in high school depends on your use of time. Here are some important things to remember.

. Begin each term by filling in a master plan. First fill in things you must do (classes,work,practice,etc. that you can’t change) . Then find the most effective use for these times.

. Set a regular time and place for study. This will save you time in the long run. If you have a study hall in your school,use it!

. Use daylight hours to study whenever possible. For most people for every hour of study done in daylight hours,it will take them one and a half hours to do the same task at night.

. Take breaks. Don’t plan marathon study time. Have a short rest before you study again.

  By using flash cards or summary sheets,you can use odd times to study while you’re waiting for class to start or for a friend to pick you up.

. If possible，plan study time with a partner. However,choose your partner wisely. Make sure you study,not socialize.

. Do the most difficult tasks for times when you are active. (Take maths for example： when you’re energetic,it will become easier to solve; when you’re tired,it will be impossible!)

. Make a daily checklist(清单) . Do the most important tasks first.

  If there is one thing I’m sure about,it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television,radio or Internet. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.

The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives一the big political stories,the coverage of the wars,earthquakes and other disasters,will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research,though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives,like genetic engineering. In the future,I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.

It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact,I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu,making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news,etc.

I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers,but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet,it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

As the high school student,I like to talk with foreigners to practise my

oral English and learn more about other culture. There were two foreign

teachers in our school in this term. They often go to the English corner so that

they can have a chance to practise the language. I seize every chance talk with

them. However,I sometime find they are not so interested in which I say.

And it’s hard to me to choose a suitable topic. I would like some advices about

how to communicate proper with foreigners and what topics to pick.
