26、rs. Detention(放学后留下 ) can have some effect, but it strengthens students ideas that being late is a personal issue, not a group one.

29、 and theyre like, I dont care. Youre late for my class, and you get a detention.” Amelia Teachers should do something good at the beginning of class to make kids want to come early. My teacher gives kids time to relax first, like if you answer a question. You get a prize. So kids come, because they

Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles and prevents you from gaining weight. It also im
38、proves exercise program, and you will probably increase your lifespan(寿命 ). Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shape.
