It is necessary to relax ourselves after the exam. There are some kinds of1.(activity) for us to take part in. First of all, we can go for a w2. along the bank of the river. We can also go to the movies or listen to music. What’s more, joining in a sports club is a good 3.(choose), which can keep us healthy. For example, p4. football in the afternoon may relax ourselves. Above all, we should arrange(管理) our time 5.(proper) and live a regular(规律的) life. I hope all of us can have a wonderful time.
As is well known, saying “no” is not easy at all. But sometimes we have to learn to say “no”. To learn to say “no”, we have to first understand what’s stopping us about it. There are some common reasons why people find it hard to say “no”.
You want to help others. You are a kind soul(灵魂) at heart. You don’t want to turn the person away and you want to help when possible, even if it may take up your time.
Afraid of being rude. I was brought up under the idea that saying “no”, especially to people who are older, is rude. This thinking is common in Asian culture, where face-saving is important. It means not making others look bad or lose faces.
Wanting to be agreeable. At times, you find you are not in agreement. You don’t want to keep yourself away from the group, so you agree to do others’ requests(请求).
Fear of conflict(冲突). The person might be angry if you refuse him. This might lead to an ugly conflict. Even if there isn’t, there might be disagreement which might lead to bad effects(影响) in the future.
Fear of losing opportunities(机会). Sometimes, saying “no” means closing doors or losing opportunities. It may make you feel worried. For example, one of my friends was asked to work in another department(部门) in her company(公司). Since she liked her team, she didn’t want to go. However, she didn’t want to say “ no” as she felt it would affect her promotion(晋升) opportunities in the future.

This afternoon, when I was looking for a self-improvement(自我修养) book, I found an aged folder(文件夹).In this folder, there were some of the examination papers I’d taken during my pre-university days. They were on economics(经济学), a subject that I didn’t really like much then.
I laughed at the silly mistakes I made as I looked through the papers. And memories of the past came to my mind. I saw myself sitting at one of the study tables, working hard for some of my life goals. Back then, it was popular for most students to set life goals, because they thought it was most important.
It was during those times that I first started to set goals for myself. I didn’t know much about goal setting then. I didn’t use any goal tracking(跟踪) tools, either. All I knew was that I had to go to university. There was no other way that I could give myself. To go through my lecture(演讲) notes, I didn’t take breaks. For more revision with my classmates, I stayed back late. One time, I missed the school lock-out hours and I had to climb school gates in order to leave. It was perhaps this attitude(态度) that ignited my decision to go through what I had to do to get this far.
Yes, it may have been hard. But the sweet taste of victory experienced at the point of receiving my final results was so wonderful that I would never forget it for the rest of my life.
I closed the folder and dropped it into the dustbin(垃圾箱) in the room. It’s time to get kicking with my next goal. And by writing this, I know I’m getting closer.
