Education is much more open ended than schooling.Education knows no bounds.It can take place anywhere，whether in the shower or in the job，whether in a kitchen or on a tractor.It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning.The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio，from a child to a distinguished scientist.Whereas schooling has a certain predictability，education quite often produces surprises.It is a lifelong process，a process that starts long before the start of school，and one that should be an part of one's entire life.
After the summer holiday，you will go to high school.Want to look perfect on that first day Read on...
Wake up 1 and a half to 2 hours before your school starts.Why Two reasons－you want to have time to do make up and hair and you don't want to be late.
Take a shower! Taking a shower in the morning will not only wake you up quicker，it will have you looking and feeling lively! When you first turn on the shower，keep the water cold，then once you're woken up，warm it up a little!
Don't put on your clothes you plan on wearing to school right away.That should be the last thing you do.You don't want to get any make up，hair products，or food on your clothes!
Do your make up.Teen magazines usually have cute and fun make up ideas that aren't too over the top.You don't want to overdo your make up；you'll look fake! So keep it natural.
Breakfast time! Have a healthy breakfast，or if you're not that hungry，have some toast or a yogurt.Breakfast is brain food!
The night before，you should pick out a cute and fun outfit.Something colorful but not too crazy! Teen magazines show a lot of cute outfits that are cheap and in style for the season.

Nowadays more and more people are concerned about their health.But how to keep healthy First，it is absolutely necessary to take some exercise every day.Research shows that getting plenty of exercise makes the heart beat faster and the lungs work harder.This strengthens the heart，reduces the chance of heart attacks，and helps lower blood pressure.
It is widely recognized that a healthy，balanced diet is essential for preventing disease and illness，managing your weight，living longer and keeping things such as hair，skin and nails in good condition.
Medical researchers have proved that what people eat affects their health.They advise people to eat more fruit and vegetables and less meat.
Getting rid of bad habits like smoking and drinking alcohol is also an important way to keep healthy.Smoking and drinking alcohol injure one's health a great deal，and therefore should be given up.
What is beauty？I am sure everyone has particular understanding，however，human beings have common value aspect about how to distinguish(辨别) beautiful things or people somehow.
Your beauty is not a true beauty until you get to know what a real beauty means.Being attractive is like being rich—it can help you find happiness，but it doesn't always make you happy.Simply try to be an interesting person.For interesting people have interesting faces，and interesting faces are almost always attractive.
The physical beauty，for example your skin color，is not stable(稳定的) forever，while the soul beauty will live forever.Beauty is in good things that you do.Your nice behavior with others，the way you understand a person，the way you trust a person，the way you love a person，the way you care，the way you share，your honesty and your self confidence make your personality(个性) so beautiful.
One thing to remember：People will forget what you say；people will forget what you do；but they will never forget what you make them feel.To live wonderfully，you have to feel wonderful!
It is true that a beautiful woman is a diamond but a truthful，honest woman is a treasure.And finally I would like to say that the beautiful person is the one who does beautifully，who says beautifully and who feels beautifully and who helps other people to do the same!

When it comes to education，super mom and dad have all the plans made for their children，and I am sure that they have come up with the best.So，try to fight for the dreams that your parents have set for you.Parents sometimes don't even consider the choices of their kids and may force them to do what they wanted to do in life.It's good to plan the future for children，but leave at least some decisions to them.
So what should the children do First，hear out all the plans that your parents have made for you.Be patient and respect their decisions，but put your plan forth，and make them understand what you want to do and why.Ask your parents for suggestions，which will make them feel good and involved.
You must have heard these words like how happy it is to be a child.But would you honestly change places with a child？Think of the years at school：the years spent living in continual fear of examinations and school reports.Every movement you made，and every thought you thought was observed by some adults.Think of the times you had to go to bed early，you had to eat hateful things that was supposed to be good for you.Remember how “gentle” pressure was given to you with words like “If you don't do as I say，I will...”I'm sure you will never forget!
Even so，these are only part of children's trouble.No matter how kind and loving parents may be，children often suffer from some terrible and illogical fears since they can't understand the world around them.They often have such fear in the dark or in the dreams.Adults can share their fears with other adults while children have to face their fears alone.
But the most painful part of childhood is a period when you begin to go out of it，the period when you go into adolescence.Teenagers start to be against their parents and this causes them great unhappiness.There is a complete lack of self confidence during this time.Adolescents pay much attention to their appearance and the impression they make on others.They feel shy，awkward and clumsy.Feelings are strong and hearts are easily broken.Teenagers experience moments of great happiness or black despair.And through this period，adults seem to be unkind than ever.

得朋友难，失朋友易。
Mary Allen was my best friend—like the sister I never had.We did everything together：piano lessons，movies，swimming and horseback riding.
When I was 13，my family moved away.Mary and I kept in touch through letters and we saw each other on special occasions.One day a card that I sent came back stamped “Address Unknown”．
Over the years，I thought of Mary often.I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren.And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died.There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.
One day I was reading the newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked a lot like Mary and I wrote to her anyway.She called as soon as she got my letter.I heard a voice and recognized it immediately，even after 40 years.We laughed and cried and caught up on each other's lives.
Now the empty place in my heart is filled.We don't lose each other again.
Many teenagers find it hard to make friends.It is NOT! Here are some ways for them.
Make the first move.
Don't be shy，because it won't help you in anything.Look around for someone that seems interesting，and then talk to them.A good subject to talk about to anyone is music，because almost everybody likes music.You can ask someone what kind of music they like and start a cool conversation with them and even find things in common.Other topics could be movies or sports.Keep away from those subjects like politics，religion，relationship problems and drama.
Be nice.
How do you expect them to like you if you are not nice Put a calm smile on your face and find out what you and the person you are trying to befriend have in common.You'll be able to be more comfortable if you find out that the other person has things in common with you.
Be a good listener.
Pay attention to what they say，look straight in their eyes and show you're paying attention.It's important to be a good listener，because everyone likes to be heard.If this person feels like you're listening to them，your new friend will enjoy talking with you more.
Develop friendships.
You may talk to someone now but soon they'll forget you if you stop.You'd better take a time to say hi to them every day and ask how they're doing.Say their names as often as you can.If you do that every day，they'll be happy that you care about them and remember them，so they won't forget you and they will become your good friends.
