Expert(专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger (手指) with his eyes still closed, begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students “early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.

  A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker (虚弱) than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.

   Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study last, they are able to work well in class.

Confidence is very important in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude. But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions:

1.If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a hobby can make you outstanding. And it will make you happy and confident.

2.Exercise makes you tired but relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.

3.Fear comes along with failure（失败）. But it’s easy to overcome if you know that failure is part of your life. Try to start again and believe you can do better.

4.When you are not confident, you will speak in a low voice. Try to speak loudly enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.

5.Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework？Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh?

Give yourself praise（表扬）for the good things you’ve done.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.

Communication(交流) is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟).

Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go to someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
