初中英语 | 时文精读 | Wednesday / Week 3 : 含糖饮料和青少年的健康

我的状态

Oct 15th, Thursday  Cloudy

      This evening, I helped two kids with their homework. They could hardly sit quietly and refused to check the mistakes. At first I felt upset and tired. Then I talked to my friend. She gave me some advice: split the tasks into short 5-minute parts. They could take a short break after finishing each part. It would still take lots of energy to manage them. But I will try my best. Besides, I told myself not to expect everything to be perfect. I learned that I need to keep a steady pace and look after my mood and body. I think things will be better and better.

女儿的状态与我的期望

     昨天睡前带她读了一点时文阅读就睡着了,哈哈,催眠效果不错, 希望今天更早点。今天也是周末了,特别希望她周末能有一个好的作息习惯。

     早睡有很多好处,只要规律的早睡半个月,就会出现明显的变化:1.皮肤的光泽度增加;2.精神状态好了;3.记忆力,反应速会提高哦。

守护你的专注力,每天挑战一件难的事情,有始有终地去完成,加油!
