Teenagers always have many problems. If you have the same 1, the following advice may help you a lot.

Don't make any excuse if you 2 today's things to tomorrow. You should know: if you don't finish your schoolwork on time, it's 3 to catch up with other students. Set a goal for 4. Always think, "I must remember 20 new English words today." "I must finish 5 this book this afternoon."

Welcome to Lao She Teahouse in Beijing. It's open from 14:00 to 22:00 every day. Different shows are waiting for you here. What shows will be on next week? Let's have a look.

    New Year is coming. You may look forward to the lucky money for New Year. But if you don't have a plan for spending it, it can run out very fast. So you may need to have a good plan for controlling your money. A good plan can help you spend and save money in a good way.

    Every week, we buy some things, such as the tickets for lunches or buses. There are also things we like to spend money on just for fun. All of these are our weekly expenses (支出). If we don't have enough money to buy everything, we have to make choices. We need to ask if we really need something or just want to have it. "Needs" are what you must have for living, like food and water. "Wants" are the things you would like to have, but you could live without them, such as CDs and magazines. If you don't have enough money for what you need and want, you may have to give up one for the other. What's more, you can list the money that you must spend on "needs". If there is money left, you may save it for the things you really want.

No plan is fixed. Maybe you wanted a comic (连环画的) book, but now you want a delicious cake. Your "needs" may change into "wants", or your "wants" may change into "needs". It is up to you.

Life is full of difficulties. No matter what you are, you have to face endless problems.

As a son of my family, I find it tiring to stay at home. It's because my mother will ask me to do this or to do that. When I finish all the chores and have time to listen to my favorite music, she will turn it off and ask me to study. I get crazy about my mom. I don't want to talk to her anymore.

As a student at school, I think the school life is too boring. All we have to do is only to study. We sit in the classroom for a whole day with different kinds of subjects and homework. Tests and exams are the most scary. During the exams, I am always so nervous that I forget how to answer the questions. So I often fail in exams. And my parents are angry with me.

In fact, I want to try my best and get better grades. But what should I do? Should I make any resolutions? How can I keep them? If you have any good advice for me, please write to me soon at 59766894321@qq.com.Thank you so much.
