It's fun to explore new places — it feels like an adventure, even when you know you are not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.

Family education plays a big role in one's life. Good parents will greatly influence their children. Our group wants to know what great values teenagers learn from their parents and how often they communicate with their parents. So a survey was made among 1,000 students in our school including the first, second and third students. Here are the diagrams showing the results.

Family is the first classroom for teenagers, and parents are their first teachers. The character and habits that teenagers develop have a lot to do with their parents. Parents should pay attention to their words and acts because teenagers will follow parents' behavior. Parents should serve as role models for their teenage children. They should show positive behavior（积极行为）, such as kindness, honesty, and respect, which their children can learn from them. By setting a good example, parents can help shape their children's character and habits in a positive way.

Do you have a good memory? Can you remember English words you learnt last week? Or have you forgotten the deadline of your project? Many of us often say "My brain doesn't work well". Maybe you can try a new way of training your brain—Learn with your team members.

"Teamwork makes our brains work better. The memory expert, Jonathan Hancock said, "Being part of a team has many advantages for remembering things."In his memory research, he finds that the participants(参与者) in a team always behave better than people who work independently. That's because they have less personal pressure, more time to think over each question.

But there's even more going on according to Canadian researchers, who've shown that our brains get a natural improvement when they've got company(陪伴). Their study suggests two reasons. First, when we're with people who are trying to remember something, we can easily feel thattip-of-the-tongue feeling, so we also want to join in to challenge ourselves. Second, after knowing others can remember things well, we can be encouraged to make it too.

To make better use of the power of team learning, you can use the contagion(传染效应) to awaken and improve memories. For example, go over new words together with your partners. Believe it or not, you'll be amazed at your magic memory. Also, you can share the duty together. If you have many tasks to remember, ask your partner to remember the date of school play while you're in charge of remembering project deadline. In this way, both of you will remember things more easily and deeply.
