Now I' m studying in the US, I find there are some differences between schools in the US and in China.

One big difference is the clothes students wear at school and how they look. In my country, all the students should wear uniforms(制服) when they go to school. Boys aren't allowed to have long hair. Girls aren't allowed to have long or colored nails (指甲). But American students always wear casual clothes (便裝) and jewelries (首飾). A British student tells me that students in England can also dress casually in the school.

Another difference is about the rules for parents. When we begin a new year in my school, our parents have to go to a meeting in our class. If they don't go to that meeting, their children won't have a grade or a report card (成績(jī)單) from school. However, in the US, there aren't such strict rules above (以上).

In the US, many students work after school, but students can't go to work in my school because they can't find a job if they're under 18. I think American students' part-time jobs help them make money. More importantly, taking part-time jobs helps them become more independent. They're able to do things by themselves in their own way, without asking other people for help.

Ballet is a type of dance. It is a kind of art that can express a feeling, tell a story, or interpret(翻譯) a song. The first ballet began in the 15th century. Ballet dancers may be men and women --- ballet is not just for girls! They are strong, pretty, and flexible (柔韌的).

Many movements in ballet are unusual for the human body. Dancers turn their legs out, instead of having their knees and feet straight forward. They also point their feet and may even dance on the tips of their toes.

Dancers must go through a lot of training. Many take classes almost daily if they'd like to be professional (職業(yè)的) ballet dancers. They need to practice often to keep up their strength. That also means that dancers need to take very good care of their bodies, so their bodies can keep up with the dancing! Dancers need to be well rested and eat healthy meals. They also should drink plenty of water and listen to their bodies by resting if that's what their bodies need.

In ballet class, most teachers ask dancers to warm up their bodies at first. After that, dancers come to the center to practice other movements. They should start slowly when learning new steps, so their bodies have time to get used to the steps and not get injured.

In fact, it is not easy to become good ballet dancers. Not only do dancers need to control their bodies well, but they need to have a good understanding of music.

Ballet looks soft, but it is really an athletic activity. If you love to move your body and use it to tell stories, ballet might be a great activity for you to try!

Have you ever wondered why it seems that some people can have enough time to do everything they want, but others can’t? Is it that the first type of people has less to do? No, it’s much more possible that they are practicing good time management skills.

Time management is hard to practice well. But once done, you will manage time much better. With minor tweaks and little efforts, you can do all you need to do in an effective(有效率的) way.

The key to good time management is to understand the difference between the urgent and the important. “Urgent” tasks need your immediate(立即的) attention, but whether you give that immediate attention may or may not matter(要緊). “Important” tasks matter, because not doing them may have serious or even bad results.

For example, answering the phone is urgent. If you don’t do it, you may miss something important. However, it may be a stranger who just wants to sell you a phone you don’t need at all. That’s not important.

Going to the dentist is important. If you don’t, you may get gum disease. But it’s not urgent. If you leave it too long, however, it may become urgent, because you may get a toothache.

Helping to pick up your brother or sister from school is both urgent and important. If you are not there at the right time, they will keep waiting and worry too much. Seeing Wechat moments(朋友圈) is neither urgent nor important. So why do you put it first?

Knowing the difference between the urgent and the important is the key to managing time well. Try to put your tasks into their right groups. Remember that your health is important. You should pay enough attention to your health even though there are many urgent things to do.

Although it’s not easy to group your tasks properly, try to be a good time manager so that you can have time to spend with the people you love and on the activities you like. The better you manage your time, the more successful you can be.
