Two years ago, I couldn’t balance my study and rest. I used to be busy with my study, so I had no time to have a rest. At last I fell ill and had to stay in hospital for 3 weeks.
After I recovered from illness, I began to think about my problems. I got to realise the importance of balancing study and rest. Instead of doing my homework all the day, I would go to play basketball for an hour a day.
Finally, by balancing rest and study, I became quite healthy. I didn’t fall behind; instead, I studied better than before.
