Dear Andy,

    I had a fight with my mom this week. She's been making me study all the time. I have some important tests coming up. But instead of studying,I've been hanging out with my friends. The weather has been really nice,so we’re spending a lot of time outside.

    Yesterday. mv mom started veiling at me. She said that I should be focusing on my studies. So she decided to ground me until summer vacation. It means that I can’t go out to have fun these days. It seems like all I can do is studying. I don't have any time to enjoy my life.

                                                 Mary

Dear Mary,

    I know how you feel. During the past few weeks,I have been really busy studying for my final exams. Sometimes,I hate studying,too. I just want to play with my friends and have fun. However,a few years ago,my cousin taught me a very important lessoa She told me when she was our age,all she did was studying. She said she worked hard when she was young,so she could enjoy her life when she became an adult. Her hard work paid off. She graduated from the best university in America and now she makes lots of money.

    My cousin encouraged me to work hard now so I can play hard later. Try to think of it that way,Mary. After all,we only have a few years of school left!

                                                 Andy

    Spending more than two hours a night doing homework leads to better results in English,math and science,according to a major study (by Pam Sammons,England) which has tracked the progress of 3 ,000 children over the past 15 years.

    Spending any time doing homework showed advantages,but the influence was greater for the students who put in two to three hours a night,according to the study published by the Department for Education in England.

    The scientists who did the research say their study emphasizes what students actually do rather than how much work the school has set.

    Pam Sammons,a professor of education at Oxford University,said that time spent on homework showed the influence of the school—if children were expected to do homework and if they enjoyed their subjects. “That's one of the reasons Indian and Chinese children do better. They put more time in it ,” he added 

    It's also reported that students who enjoyed school got better results. “Schools could make sure children had a better experience by improving the school environment,making schoolwork interesting and making children feel supported by teachers,w Sammons said.

     It is suggested that children aged 5 to 7 should be set one-hour homework a week,half an hour a night for 7-to 11-year-olds. Secondary schools were encouraged to set up two hours a night for 14-to 16-year-〇lds.

     Some people believe that some star signs get along better with each other than other star signs. Perhaps we should first start with those which are incompatible. Aries and Leo are not a good mix. Both of them are leaders.Aries is energetic and is not compatible with Leo because Leo is strong and confident. Also,Pisces and Taurus are not a good pair. Taurus is practical and will not be patient enough to wait for Pisces to stop daydreaming.

     Perhaps the best choice of friends for Taurus is Capricorn. Taurus can be stubborn and Capricorn is patient and would be prepared to wait for Taurus to change his or her mind. Aries should get to know Pisces.Aries is active but Pisces is gentle and easygoing. They are like yin and yang. Leo would be well matched with Libra. Leo likes to give gifts and Libra likes beautiful things.

     The perfect pair is Libra and Scorpio. Libra does not like to argue but love peace. Libra will never ask Scorpio to do energetic things. Sagittarius will enjoy listening to Gemini’s talk.

     Capricorn and Cancer could also be good friends. Cancer is kind and sensitive and gets on well with Capricorn who is shy.

     Virgo and Aquarius are a good match. Sometimes,however,there can be problems in their relation. Aquarius has many friends,and Virgo worries a lot,so meeting a lot of people can be stressful for them.

There are many houses in the world,but in your opinion,how wide a house should be that it is possible to live in comfortably? Maybe you will say as large as possible. This is seriously wrong and you are out of reality.

But the building,which we’ll tell you now,looks strange. Though it is a three-story house,it will be the narrowest house in the world.

Yes!The house that a few years later will be built in Warsaw will be the narrowest house in the world because of its wide reach of all—60 inches. It is such a short distance between two neighboring houses,but on this piece of land a group of Polish architects (建筑師) are just going to build a new building.

Moreover,in the narrowest building in the world on three floors you can find a living room,bedrooms,an office,a kitchen and a bathroom with a toilet. It is so narrow that the architects didn't even make the traditional stairway. The move from floor to floor depends on the vertical axis (豎軸) .
