Reading 11 Read these tips from students on how to relax. 0 Sophie 3 David I'm learning to play the piano at the moment, and when I need a rest from studying, I just sit down and play something I'm not very good at it, so my brother usually tells me to stop! But I still enjoy trying! I know I need to get enough sleep, so I try not to have any food or drink that will keep me awake I don't have any lemonade or cola in the evening. And it's really hard, but I try to eat Junk food only at the weekends. I can stay in bed a bit longer in the mornings then! 1 Ben 4 Lisa I can sometimes look at the same page in my book and an hour goes by and I haven't learnt anything! So I put my books away, get my bike and go for a ride. We're lucky that we live in the country, so there are a lot of paths to follow You know when your head is just too full of "stuff? That's when I go to bed and read Sometimes I even go to bed at 8 pm! Mum thinks I'm mad because it's completely the opposite with my brother Max - he never wants to go to bed! 2 Clare 5 Mark I often play my favourite computer game when I want to relax. I love games that can teach me something like history. I hate the ones with people fightingl I know sometimes I spend too much time in my own little world but at least 1 feel better after having time for myself When I need to relax I just put my headphones on and play my drums Nobody can hear me so I can play them as loud as I want. It's brilliant and really good exercise People laugh, but you should try it and see You'll need a rest after 20 minutes!
We always hear many students complain about having to study math or chemistry, even when they don't want to become a doctor or an engeneer. And it's possible to understand, it is actually true, the majority of the students won't even use math in the future. however, it is still important to study compulsory subjects. First of all, there are thousands of jobs that require knowing mathematics, even the final exam mark will matter to a college or the university you'll apply to. Actually, everyone uses math whether they realize it or not. In our everyday life we count in stores to find out how much something costs, and in the future things like that will stay important as well. Math helps us with other subjects, like physics and chemistry. A lot of math problems help the students to solve tasks in physics.
The Thames is not a long river. It is three hundred and thirty kilometres long and it runs into the sea. The English people call it “the Father of London”. London began on the Thames. When we go in a ship up the Thames we pass under London Bridge, the Tower Bridge and others. There is a museum of old ships on the Thames. These ships are from the history of Great Britain. One of these ships, the “Discovery”, went to the South Pole in 1901 — 1904. If we go down the Thames we pass the port of London and get to Greenwich — a very old town. We can see the place where the Greenwich Meridian passes.
