I think healthy habits are very important for us. Here is my advice.First, we should get enough sleep during the night. Staying up too late is bad for our health. Second, we must have the right kinds of food. Eat more fruit and vegetables instead of too much meat and avoid junk food. It is also important to drink lots of water. Third, we should do exercise as much as possible to build up our bodies. Finally, I think friends are an important part of ones health. If we dont feel well,just go to see the doctor at once. SmilingAs we all know, smiling is an expression showing pleasure, sociability and happiness. There are many good points of smiling. On the one hand, smiling can make us happy, and please others at the same time. If you always smile at life, life will smile at you in return. On the other hand, you will be much more positive than before. You can find a different world if you often smile. Whats more, smiling is a means of communication and can help you have more friends.I was smiling yesterday,I am smiling today and I will smile tomorrow.Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.Youll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile. A Mountain-climbing Our school organized a mountain-climbing on April 10. Hundreds of us took part in it. It was a nice day. At 8:00 am, we gathered at the foot of Daqing Mountain and set out for the top in high spirits(happily). All the way we were chatting, singing and laughing, enjoying the fresh air and the beautiful scenery. When some fell behind, others would come and offer help. About 2 hours later, we all reached the top. Bathed in sunshine,we jumped and cheered with joy.The activity got us close to nature and gave us relaxation from heavy school work, and it also deepened the friendship among us. What a wonderful time! Self-confidenceThere are many factors that can contribute to a persons success in life,such as hard-work, honesty, intelligence, etc. But I believe self-confidence to be the most important.Everyone is flickering in his own way, and has his own arena though nobody is perfect. Confidence gives you the courage to try new things. Besides, a confident person rarely gives up. When he fails he tries again and again until he wins.Give yourself a bright smile. And nothing is impossible, just do it! Grateful to Our ParentsI consider my parents as the most important people in my life-for the care and love they devote to me.My parents have been trying their best to give me a better life and future. No matter when and where I get into trouble , they come up to support me and encourage me. I will always remember the worries in their eyes and smiles on their faces.But now they re getting older with gray hair and wrinkles.Words fail me when I try to express my heartfelt
