I’m glad to have received your letter，but feel worried about the problems describing in it. Now I’d like to give you some tip.

As the freshman，it’s normal(正常的) for you to feel homesick at first. Don’t be worried. As time went by，you will get used to your college life soon. Of course，you can chat with your parents and friends at online. You say you feel alone. You can change that by making new friends. Don’t shy and believe in yourself. Smile but say “hello” to everyone. I believe that we will get along well on your classmates.

I hope you will have a good time.

Yours,

Mark

   Good learners can inspire students or anybody to learn well. Here are some characteristics of good learners.

Good learners are curious. They wonder about all sorts of things，often about knowledge beyond their areas of expertise（专长）. 【小题1】 Finding out about something they didn't know satisfies them for the moment，but their curiosity is addictive.

Good learners don't give up easily. A few things may come easily to learners but most knowledge arrivesafter effort. Good learners are willing to put in time. They try to search out new information. They read，analyze，and evaluate（评估）the information they've found. 【小题2】

Good learners know that a lot of learning isn't fun. The journey to understanding generally isn't all that exciting. 【小题3】 Others need boring attention to detail，and still others need periods of intense mental focus. Your back hurts，your arms and legs get tired，and your coffee gets cold.

【小题4】 There's always more to know. Good learners are never satisfied with how much they know about anything. They are surrounded by questions — the ones they still can't answer, or the ones without very good answers. Those questions follow them like day follows night with the answers bringing daylight.

Good learners share what they' ve learned. Good learners are teachers committed to sharing with others what they' ve learned. 【小题5】 Good learners can also explain what they know in ways that make sense to others. They are connected to the knowledge passed on to them and committed to leaving what they' ve learned with others.

   Cowboys, policemen, princesses and superheroes are all characters kids choose to be on any given day. Putting on a play can be a fun activity that lets them act out their favorite characters as well as use their artistic ability to create the stage.

Best of all, they will be able to use their favorite line “ look at me” as the audience sits down to enjoy the production.

Help your kids decide on a play they would like to act out. Use the Internet or the library to find scripts (剧本) for older reading kids. For younger kids, they can act out a favorite story or a fairy tale. Of course, you could always help them write their own scripts.

Decide how many characters are needed. Invite neighbors and friends to be in your play or let your kids play more than one character. Make sure you teach them to change the way they look, move and speak so the audience can tell the difference.

Search for costumes and props (道具) supplies. Find clothes from your closet or attic (阁楼) , or go to a garage sale. Help everyone make a mask or put on makeup to represent their characters.

Get creative. Make tickets, invitations, movie posters and props for your kids’ play. You can even decorate a curtain and hang it in front of the stage. Set up chairs for the audience.

Choose your music. Pick something that goes with the theme of the play. Ask someone to play the piano or have the kids make up songs and help them make homemade instruments.

Rehearse the play. The more the play is practiced, the better it will be. Try starting early in the summer and practicing once a week. Set out a snack after rehearsal and make it light-hearted and fun. Then perform the play at the end of the summer vacation.

Invite the audience to sit down and enjoy the play.

   "Keeping the body in good health is a duty，otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear." This saying by Buddha is a life motto of highly healthy people. 【小题1】The following four habits will significantly improve your health.

They are organized and disciplined.

If you want to be healthy，you should try to become organized. 【小题2】It will help you succeed in everything and do things on time.

【小题3】

In our busy lives，it's very easy to ignore the healthy habits that keep us feeling great and eating right. Highly healthy people usually have a habit to prioritize（优先考虑）their health. They are particular about their nutrition. They always avoid fast food because they find it very harmful.

They have an exercise schedule.

Exercise and other physical activities are not only good for you，but they are also a fun way to spend time. 【小题4】That's why they set aside time for exercise in the mornings or evenings. Due to the high level of self-organization，they easily stick to the exercise schedule. They think that active lifestyle and regular sports will help them live longer.

They get enough sleep.

Sleep plays an important role in immune（有免疫力）function，memory，learning and other important functions. 【小题5】 It is very important to wake up and go to sleep at the same time，because your body works according to a certain rule.
