How can I get good grades at school? How can I finish so much homework every evening? What should I do if I’m not interested in my classes ? Who will teach us this term ? Maybe you have such questions in your mind before school starts.
Well, I want to give you some good advice on these problems.
First, keep calm．Don’t worry about all the question you have. Put your heart into learning，and you can find something you are interested in．Do it actively．
Second, try your best to finish your homework quickly．Don’t spend a lot of time on it．Do more reading or writing in English．Think about the problems you have and solve them at once．Don’t stay up late，or you can’t study well the next day．
Third, think of something instead of copying or repeating．If you can remember the words in your way，you can tell your teachers you don’t like the way of copying them again and again．Be sure you can pass the test．I think your teachers will agree with you．And they can give you something interesting to do．
School is really a good place for you to learn．Believe in your teachers and yourself．You are the best one and you can do everything well．

We were standing at the top of a church not far from my home. I didn’t know why.

“Look down,” Father said. I tried and saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the streets to the square. “See, Elsa,” Father said. “There is more than one way to the square. If you can’t get where you want to go by one road, try another.”

Earlier that day, I asked Mother to do something about what we had for lunch at school. But she didn’t think the food was as bad as I said. When I turned to Father for help, he brought me to the church.

At school the next day, I filled a bottle with the soup for our lunch and took it home. I told the cook to pour the soup in a plate and bring it to Mother. She drank it and cried out, “What’s the matter with the soup today?” I at once told her what I had done , and Mother said that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day .

Now I really understood why Father had taken me to the church. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every way to my goal.

5.When the writer really understood what his father had said.
