 How
are The Kids Times readers spending their summer vacation? Wow, time
really flies. It’s already middle of August. Within few weeks, school
will be starting. Yeah, it’s not something good to think about. But,
the truth is, we all have to go back. So, are you ready for it? I bet most of you have now
got some bad habits. Let’s find out the
kind of habits you need to change before going back to school.
The first thing that is very hard to change is how you spend your
time. Since there is no school, I bet most of you slept in for hours.
And going to bed late was probably something almost
all of you did. Well, it’s going to be hard to wake up early in the
morning when school starts. So, start changing your patterns now. It takes about
two weeks to change this. Now is the perfect time to start. Try to
go to bed early. And try to wake up early. You have to make a personal dedication to do this. Even
if there is a good T.V. show on, if it’s time to sleep, go to bed.
It’s a promise you made to yourself.
Waking up early is also the hard part. Try settig two alarm clocks.
It’s better than one. I know, I know. It’s not easy, and you want
to sleep for another hour. But, break this habit. It’s better
to do it now then when school starts!
 Second
thing is the habit of not studying. What I loved the most about summer
vacations was that I never had to write any tests. Of course there
was homework, but it’s nothing compared to writing a test.
I don’t think many kids study hard during the summer break. Well, all this
changes when we go back to school. Eventually we will all have
to write tests. And nobody wants a bad grade. When I was a kid, I
found it very difficult to study when I returned to school. So, what
can we do? For starters, it’s a good
idea to read a book every day. Whether it’s a novel or a science fiction, let’s try
a little bit of reading. Also, it’s good to study past materials. Take out your old note book
from before the summer break. Do you remember everything? I am sure
you don’t. Review little bits every day. When you
return to school, your brain will be ready to learn the new stuff.
How much time is appropriate? About an hour
a day will do. Come on! Don’t tell me that you are too busy. Follow the first advice. Wake up early. And
then, study for an hour before you head out to play!
Lastly, your health is important. Maybe this should be the first advice.
Summer break is sure a good time to be active. But this isn’t really
true. You have time to play and visit places, but they are a very
small portion of your summer break.
When you are in school, you spend a lot of energy there. But during
the summer break, you spend most of your time at home. It’s a good
idea to get some exercise every day. Jog or skip ropes in the afternoon.
30 minutes a day will keep your body in shape. All three advices are
great habits to have any time of the year. So, are you ready for school?
Why don’t you take my advices? The time spent in school will be a
lot easier for you! Believe me! |
