   While some high school seniors begin to enjoy writing their college essay, others fail to see the importance of it. In some cases, these 600 words determine acceptance or a rejection. 【小题1】 It is also a process of self-discovery. Here are some helpful tips.

1. Have fun! When you get upset, it is reflected in your work. Relax, breathe and realize that this is the time to expose a side of you that the grades cannot.

2. Don’t settle for basics — be creative! 【小题2】 Stay away from volunteer work, your dead dog and vacations. Admission counselors (入学辅导员) see thousands of essays a month; make sure your essay is distinct from your experience and personality. Do not focus on what you think they want you to write, but what is actually significant to you.

3. 【小题3】 Although it is effective to appeal to the emotions of an admission counselor, I do not recommend writing an essay about sad stories. Self-pity can be annoying, and most admission counselors do not want that to be their first impression of you. 【小题4】 Make sure that the story is focused on your growth, not on the struggle.

4. Your essay is not a longer version of your resume (简历). If you send in a resume, there is absolutely no need to restate what is on it. Many students like bragging (吹嘘) about how much they do. It is amazing that you are involved, but admission counselors do not only want to hear about how much you do, especially if they already see this on your resume. 【小题5】

Good luck on your college essay!

A.It was received well by many.
B.Don’t try to make yourself a victim.
C.You can talk about how a work changed your life.
D.The worst thing you can do is pick an ordinary topic.

F.They want to see aspects of you that cannot be shown on a resume.
G.The only exception to this is that you have an inspiring struggle.

Self-Discipline is the key to leading a healthier, happier and more successful life. 【小题1】 We have shared some self-discipline techniques below. Follow these self-discipline techniques to start living a better life.

1.Start small

The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step, as the proverb goes. 【小题2】 Instead,  stamina(耐力) is built up by doing a little more than the previous day’s target.

The same goes for discipline. Start by trying to carry out self-discipline techniques little by little every day for big results. Increase your goals over time.

2.【小题3】

Staying self-disciplined requires motivation. It can be hard to stay motivated if you feel like you haven’t made any progress so far. Tracking progress makes you aware of how much you’ve done and encourage you to keep going.

3.Exercise your willpower

【小题4】Some days, sticking to the task is going to be difficult but by reminding yourself of the end in mind and how much the goal means to you, you will be able to ignore temporary temptations for long term gain.

The above-mentioned self-discipline techniques have been proven to be extremely effective.

   Our memory naturally drops as we age. We depend on our memory to perform our daily tasks well and do our jobs properly. 【小题1】 . Nothing is more embarrassing than forgetting vital information at a gathering. But there are some ways we can do to make it as sharp as ever.

Sleep Well

This is very important if you want to keep your good memory until you grow old. You must give your brain enough rest and sleep so that it can regenerate more cells where it can store more information. 【小题2】.

Eat Healthily

【小题3】. Eating avocado and broccoli stimulates(促使)blood flow to the brain. Have more beans which contain folate(叶酸)—a vitamin B that figures well in brain development. Adding nuts and beans to your daily diet can also contribute to a healthier memory.

【小题4】

Don't think that you are too old to learn new skills. Try learning a new language or even playing an instrument. Start attending baking or painting classes.

It's not really the skill that you choose but in the fact that you focus on it for regular periods of time and find it interesting.

Exercise

【小题5】. When we exercise, we increase blood flow to the brain, increase the production of newer and younger cells and protect the brain cells from any kind of damage. Exercise can do a lot of wonders to our body, so you'd better start exercising now before it's too late.

A.Listen Attentively
B.Never Stop Learning
C.In school, we greatly rely on it during exams

E.There are several food products that you can eat to enhance your memory
