Early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps us to have good health. We all

need fresh air. It makes our health better to take morning exercises. The air is never so fresh as

early in the morning. Early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly

and find it easy to learn something by heart. Early rising makes people able to plan the work for

 the day. We can’t work well without a good plan. Just as the plan for the year should be made

in the spring, the plan for a day should be made in the morning. Early rising gives us enough

time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and eat our breakfast. So the popular

saying says, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy(富有的) and wise.”
