I have eight classes every day,from 7:50 a.m.to 5:30 p.m.You never have enough time in Grade 9.Every minute is used for study.A day is always made up of three parts:classes,exercises and tests.I don’t feel tired.I like to do them.I must study hard so that I can go to a good senior high school.Most of my classmates also study like this.But it won’t last long.Everything will be all right after June.

Dream school:Hangzhou Foreign Language School

Plan after the exam:Travel to Canada

My life of Grade 9:Bitter(苦的) but happy

How much sleep do we need?We are all different.Some people need only three hours of sleep a night.Others need ten hours of sleep a night.Most Americans sleep an average(平均) of seven to eight hours a night.After the age of fifty the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a night.

Most people have a bad night when they can not sleep.About one in three Americans has a problem with sleep.Many of these people can not fall asleep.This problem is called insomnia(失眠).This is not a new problem.Many famous people in history had insomnia.Some of these people had special ideas to make themselves sleep.Benjamin Franklin,the famous statesman(政治家) and inventor(發(fā)明家),had four beds.He moved from one to another to fall asleep.King Louis XIV(國王路易十四) of France had 413 beds and hoped that he could fall asleep in one of them.Mark Twain,the famous American writer,had a different way.He lay on his side on the end of the bed!

Every person has his own difficulties no matter who and where he is. So it’s very important to have a correct attitude in your life. Only with the correct attitude can you face up all of your difficulties and finally overcome (戰(zhàn)勝) them. First, you have to believe in yourself. That’s the secret of success. Second, don’t complain about others when you have difficulties, because it can neither help you avoid difficulties nor help you solve them. And the most important thing is that don’t run away or give up. Use your ability to clear the difficulties that appear in your life. Third, remember how you overcome the difficulties because it may help you avoid similar trouble next time. Just take it easy, enjoy the life even it’s full of difficulties.

Not only adults but also teenagers have problems in their life.Here is a survey showing the main problems of teenagers.

They feel stressed because they have too much homework to do both at school and at home.

They have lots of exams to take.And parents usually send them to different classes at weekends.They don’t have their own time to do what they are interested in.Now more and more teenagers are getting short-sighted (近視).They often read in bed or keep reading for a long time without having a rest.Some of them are crazy about playing computer games.Some spend too much time watching TV.Another serious problem among teenagers is that many of them are becoming fat.They eat too much junk food.But they take little exercise.

I think teenagers should think of ways to deal with the problems.They should make a plan for study and hobbies.And find time to relax as much as possible.

Everyone will face difficult times.People usually feel unhappy when they meet some trouble in work or study.But bad feelings are bad for one’s health.To stay healthy we should know how to relax ourselves in our daily life.

Firstly,you change your mind.When you meet some difficulties,you shouldn’t think them frequently,because it will make you feel sadder than before.You are supposed to change your mind and think something that makes you feel cheerful.Secondly,you can listen to some music or sing some songs,since that music can make people feel happy.Thirdly,you may find it helpful to talk to your partner,a relative or a friend about your problems,or look for help and advice from them.Above all,you should try your best to solve those difficulties by yourself.Learn to cheer yourself up.I think the methods mentioned are very helpful.Maybe you can have a try.

In a word,people should know how to relax themselves no matter how difficult it is.It is the way that helps them to stay healthy.
