◆Reconnecting with a healthy lifestyle

During holidays， children have often been allowed to sleep late and eat what they wanted at any time. The first thing to do is to help yourself make a smooth start and not to wait until the last day to find a healthy lifestyle. You should get used to have regular1 and reasonable2 hours of sleep and to eat healthy food. This of course needs several days of “rehabilitation3”. The best thing is to start reconnecting with a healthy lifestyle one week to ten days before school starts.

◇重新建立健康的生活方式

在假期里，孩子们经常可以睡得很晚，随时想吃什么就吃什么。要做的第一件事是帮助自己顺利开始，不要等到最后一天才找回健康的生活方式。你应该习惯规律合理的睡眠时间和健康的饮食，这当然需要几天来“复原”。最好在开学前一周到十天左右开始重新建立健康的生活方式。

◆Buy study resources4

Buy all the resources available for your grade. This will help you do your homework rightly. The resources may include a good dictionary， educational softwares...

◇展开对话
