Now students’ English handwriting gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work!
◆Use paper that has lines
    Using paper that has lines can keep you writing straight when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure those capital letters(大写字母) are written properly.
◆Slow down
    If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going slower makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.
◆ Hold your pencil right
    When you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. Some kids press(按,压) down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to relax yourself and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. 83 If you do so, people will think you are a student with a good habit.
◆Draw more pictures
    Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. 84Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.

Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs (亲笔签名), of course！

In large families，it is quite normal（正常）for brothers and sisters to fight（打架）with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for a teenager to have a good

Friend or a circle（圈子）of friends. Even when they are not with their friends，they usually spend much time talking to each other on the phone .This communication is very important in children’s growing up，because friends can discuss things that are difficult to discuss with their family members.

    How do you study each year? You may answer it in one second: have classes at school, take notes and do homework. Feeling a little bored? Yes? So how do we make learning interesting? There’s a new way of learning called digital (数字的) learning. It helps students learn by using the Internet. There are three important kinds of digital learning. Apps are computer software applications (应用软件). People can download (下载) them on their mobile devices. The other two kinds are social networking services, including weibo and WeChat (微信) and website. Every one of them is like your teacher. A. They help you master (掌握) what you learn at school.

  Compared with regular learning ways, digital learning has its advantages（优点）. Digital learning is also diverse (多样的). It covers almost every school subject. More importantly, it’s always updating. It offers students the newest resources (资源) to learn from.

    Digital learning is also personalized (个性化的). You can choose what you like to learn. If you don’t master what you have learned at school, you can learn again through digital ways.

   B._____, digital learning also has disadvantages（缺点）. When you use digital ways to learn, you have little interaction (相互交流) with teachers and classmates. As digital learning uses computers or smart phones, watching the screen too long may be bad for your eyes. C. It is better to take a rest every 20 minutes.

How do you spend your free time? There may be different answers according to our interests. But how can we make it more meaningful? Most of us can’t tell it clearly. Here I have some advice for you.

Do some housework. Each of us wants to live comfortably. We have grown up, so we can’t depend on our parents any more. What’s more, how to live a normal life is a basic skill in our life. Our parents can’t take care of our whole life. Sooner or later, we will learn to live by ourselves.

Develop some hobbies. Hobbies can bring us positive feelings, increase happiness, reduce stress and improve work performance. As it is said, a man with hobbies is happy. Hobbies can make us grow as a person. They can help us learn new skills. Even some hobbies can become our lifelong career.

Make friends. Everyone needs friends. A person without friends will not get happiness in his or her life. Friends can help us know various people and open our eyes. We can learn a lot of things from them, such as how to communicate, how to care about others and how to learn to be independent.

In a word, we can’t spend our free time in the bed. The more active you are, the more successful you will be!

 In fact, there’s little we can do to stop natural disasters (自然灾害)such as earthquakes happening. But, there are  some ways that

may help us when an earthquake happens.

◆Drop down onto your hands and knees. This way can protect you from falling.

◆Cover your head under a strong table or desk. You can also stay along a wall and cover your head with your arms and  hands.

◆Hold on to your shelter(遮蔽物) until the shaking stops. Be sure to move with your shelter if the shaking continues.

   Schools can normally take the earthquake drills（演练）to help students stay alive.
