Overwork is one of the main reasons why so many students feel tired and stressed. There are some ways for you to learn to relax. Such as reducing（减少）some of the jobs you do each day. So you can leave time for relaxing and fun activities, like reading a good book, listening to a sweet music, going for a walk or taking a relaxing bath.

Secondly, get a good night’s sleep. Getting enough sleep will help you to keep your body and mind in the best form. If you stay up late and need to get up early for school the next day, you may not be able to pay much attention to the things you need to do.

Next, eat healthy. You’d better eat as little junk food as possible.

Another way is getting to know pleasant people. Some people are optimistic, while others not. Choose optimistic people as your friends and spend more time with them. Then you’ll be as happy as them.

New Year’s Eve is a different time for people in different countries.

In England, we usually have a party with our friends and family. We turn the TV on and wait for Big Ben to hit 12. We form a circle and sing a very old song. And then we all wish each other “Happy New Year”. We make New Year’s resolutions, too. For example, travel more or spend more time with family.

In Spain, when the clock hits 12, people eat 12 grapes. Twelve grapes means the 12 months in a year. It is believed that if you eat the grapes, you will have good luck for the whole year.
