Four ways to have a good school life
Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How canyou get the most from them, and be sure you do not waste this great chance to learn?
Be active"(積極的) at school. Don’t say things are difficult or boring. Take interestin school life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Put up your hands quicklyin class. Go around the school with a big smile. If you are not working, you are wastingyour time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.
Keep fit. If you don’t eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food inclass. If you go to bed late and don’t have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class.Play enough sports every day in order to keep your body strong.
Face the problem. Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind theclass, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish the race if you rest allthe time. Everyone fails some exams, loses some matches and has bad days. Don’t makesmall problems very big and important. Don’t forget to ask for help. You are young,and no one thinks you must do everything quite well!
Spend the weekends. Don’t waste time lying in bed on Saturday or Sundaymorning. Go and play sports, get together with friends in the park to relax, learn toplay the piano, or help someone with problem. If you don’t want to go out, thereare also a lot of things to do. You may read a book, practice English or help Mumwith housework.
Follow our advice, and have a happy school life!

Complain(抱怨) Politely
Not everything goes the way you want it to. You may go to a restaurant andorder a nice meal. But your order is wrong or not cooked properly. You may buy aproduct that breaks the next day.
These kinds of experiences make you want to complain. However, if you speakangrily to people, they will become defensive (自衛(wèi)的). Then they are less likely tohelp you. A more effective (有效的) way to get what you want is to stay 41. __________(冷靜).
Use polite language and a 42. __________ tone of voice. Start with phrasessuch as, “I’m sorry to bother you, but...”or “Excuse me, but could you...?”Forexample, “I’m sorry to bother you, but I ordered potato soup, not vegetable.”Phrasing your complaint as a question also helps. People like to be asked ratherthan 43. __________ (tell)! “Could you help me? I just bought this phone caseyesterday, but it’s cracked.”
When trying to solve a problem, don’t (責備) the person you’re talkingto. There is no faster way to make someone defensive than by blaming them. Use thephrases,“I know this isn’t your fault, but...” or “There has been amisunderstanding.” These phrases let people know you are only angry at the44. s__________. Blaming people isn’t as important as getting a problem fixed!
There are honest mistakes, but at times someone may try to take advantage ofyou. In that case, don’t say “Hey! You’re trying to cheat me! ”Instead, use thephrase, “I understood that...”For example, “I understood that the service chargewas included in the price.”Then give the person a 45. c__________ to answer.
If you don’t get what you want with polite conversation with a manager orsupervisor. But usually, you’ll find that polite words and a smile will resolve a situation.
