Being organized is an important skill for school and life．When you're well organized, you can stay focused，instead of spending time hunting things down．

    For schoolwork, it means having one notebook or place where you store all your assignment，so you know what you have to do and when. Keeping all your school work neat and in a specific place—these are the main parts of organization.

     For home stuff, being organized means having a place to put your things and putting them back as you go. It means keeping your schoolbag，your shoes, and your clean underwear in the same places so you always know where to find them.

    Planning is part of being organized, too. Calendars，lists，and schedules can help you plan. You can buy or draw a calendar and keep it near your workplace. Making a schedule or “to-do” list for yourself is a good idea. Looking at your list helps you keep track of what you need to do. Check off things when you've done them. Use your list to help you decide which thing is the most important to work on first.

    But once you're organized，it feels great．The less time you spend hunting around for things or panicking about homework，the more time you have for better things，like reading a good book or playing.

    Question: I have been learning English for about 7 years. And I still can't make myself understood in English. However, I love learning English. How can I learn English well? Please help me.

    Answer: Many people have asked me this question. Here I will give you several tips for learning English.

    ●

    First of all, you must want to learn. If you are not interested in learning English, no class will help you and no book will help you. So you have to be honest with yourself. Ask yourself, “Do I really want to learn English?” If you can't answer “yes” to this question, it is better for you to set English aside until you're ready and willing to learn.

    ● Set goals (目标).

    To learn English well, you must set some goals. It will also help you to see your progress. Ask yourself, “What are my goals? What areas would I like to improve?” Think about what your goals are, and review once in a while to see that you are making progress toward your goals.

    ● Practice, practice, and practice.

After you have set your goals, you have a better idea of what you need to practice. Just like the athlete whose goal is the Olympics must train daily, you as a language learner must practice language every day to make progress toward your goal.

Alice: Mr. Black, this is Alice (speak). I'm calling to ask you if I can take the afternoon off today.

Black: Well, of course. can you tell me what the problem is, Alice?

Alice: OK, Mr. Black. My son is going to take part in a singing competition (hold)  in Washington tomorrow. He's got so many things to take he can't go there alone.

Black: So you want to take there in your minibus?

Alice: Yes. And as soon as I put him up in the hotel, I (drive) back.

Black: Well, that would be a (tire) journey. It's nearly 300 kilometers away and it will take you at least six hours (travel) to and from Washington. Why don't you stay there until you   (see) your son perform?

Alice: But I have two tomorrow morning.

Black: Don't worry. I'll tell Mary to take your classes instead. She's always willing to help.

Alice: That'll be nice. Thank you and give my thanks to Mary.

Black: You,re welcome.

    While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can't be avoided. .

    Try physical activity.

    . Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.

    Make time for yourself.

    Schedule time for both work and entertainment. Don't forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.

    Take care of yourself.

    If you easily get angry and can't sleep well enough, or if you are not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor.

    .

Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there's so much to do, and not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important task first.

    This is a story was told by my father: “When I was boy, the most excited thing was to celebrate the Spring Festival. My grandma was the best cooker in the world but could make the most delicious dishes. One time, I just couldn't wait for the Spring Festival dinner. As I was about take a piece from a cooked duck, I saw Grandma in the kitchen looking at me. Shake her head, she said, ‘It isn't a good time to do that, dear.' At once I apologize and controlled me at my best till the dinner started. You know, that was a dinner I had waited for several month.”
