Friends are important to the children. Research shows that children who have no friends can suffer from difficulties later in life. Friendship provides children with more than just fun. In making friends, children learn how to get in touch with the others and solve problems. Having friends even does good to children’s study for they can help each other during the class.

If the parents care about their children whether they made many friends，what matters is that the child is comfortable and happy with his friends. Parents need to understand the steps children take in building friendships. First of all, be a friend to your child. Good friendships start at home. Children begin to develop the necessary ability to go out and meet others through getting with their parents. Greet the child warmly and let him know you are glad to see him. Children learn a lot from how their parents stay with them and other people.

Teach children how to solve conflicts(争端). Being able to work out conflicts is an important skill in getting along with others. If parents know the children have a conflict, let them work it out on their own. Only step in if it is really necessary, for example, an argument is getting physical.

Give children chances to practice staying together. Have children play games that require team work and group problem solving skills. For example, races are fun and provide plenty of practice in teamwork. “In what ways didn’t you work well together? What might you do differently next time?” For these ideas, see books such as Games Book by Terry Orlick, Energizers by Carol Apacki, and Team-Building Activities for Every Group by Alanna Jones.

Encourage children to show thanks to the others. The parents can encourage children to do this by setting the example for them.

    Every student can manage time to get good grades at school. However, how can you manage your time more efficiently(有效地) to study well? Well, you can arrange for time each day to read over notes. You needn’t study each of your subjects every day, but studying something every day will help you improve your grades. Take notes as you study, so you can use those notes to shorten your study time later. Even though studying is important, it doesn’t need to control your time.

After-school activities are an important part of school life for many students. The journey toward good grades doesn’t mean you have to give up these activities. Instead, you need to find your personal balance between study time and extra activities. For example, if you play on the baseball team and work on the school paper, you may find that two activities are too much, and that you don’t have enough time to study and take part in these activities. If this is the case, you need to prioritize(区分优先次序) and choose just one activity. Therefore, you’ll have time to study.

As you get closer to graduation, it becomes easier to think that class attendance isn’t important, especially later in college. Other activities, such as hanging out with friends and even working, can feel more important. However, class time is the time when you can ask questions and learn more about the material. Attending your classes regularly makes you get more information and helps you get better grades.

Any spare time you have during the day can be used for studying. For example, if you take a bus, use that time to read over your notes, or read your text. Any time in which you would just sit and wait is a good time to work on school work, so you can improve your grades. However, you need to learn to balance school work and relaxation time, so you don’t burn out.

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the  ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.

The next morning he said to the men,“Have you provided me with that sunset?”

“Well, sir,” one of the men answered,“We’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”

“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted.“Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”

But then a young secretary had an idea.“Why don’t you photograph a sunrise.” she suggested,“and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.”

“That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”

The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bridge sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.

They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.”

The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.

The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset (日出) over the ocean so that the audiences (观众) could see his hero (男主角) and heroine (女主角) in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew (摄制组) out one evening to film the sunset for him.

The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”

“No, sir.” the men answered.

The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.

“Well, sir,” one of the men answered. “We’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise (日落) over the sea if necessary, but not a sunset.”

“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”

“But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.”

The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay (海湾). Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir!” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased. They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained. “Now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the sunset behind them.”

The “sunset” began, but after fifteen minutes, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop. The birds in the film were flying backwards and the waves (波浪) on the sea were going away from the beach.
