Summary of the story:
Once there was a boy with a bad temper. His dad told him to hammer a nail into the fence every time he lost his temper.

At present, our school is launching How to Improve Yourself campaign. The aim of the campaign is to help us improve ourselves by developing some good habits.
My suggestions concerning improving ourselves are as follows. To start with, in view of the bad effect the social media addiction has on us, we should get rid of it by giving our phones to parents to avoid giving in. Apart from that, as we have learnt in the textbook, it is a great choice to learn how to spend money wisely, which can be of vital importance for us younger generations. Last but not least, making the most of every second can also contribute to improving ourselves, because for us students, study is the top priority.
I’m fully aware that this activity makes a great difference to us teenagers. By getting into some great habits, not only can we improve ourselves, but also we are bound to live a healthier life.
Thank you
for your listening
