Activity 3
Choose three important rules from 2a.
Discuss the questions with a partner.
Why is each rule important?
What is your advice for each rule?
I have to clean my room every day
It is important because it helps me keep my living environment clean and organized.
My advice is that we can set a specific time for cleaning every day to make it a habit.
I can't wear my own clothes
I think it's important because the school uniform shows the unity of the school.
My advice is that the school can design more comfortable and stylish uniforms.
I can watch TV, but only after I finish my homework, walk the dog, and do lots of other things!
It's important because it makes sure we finish our study tasks first.
My advice is that we can make a study plan to manage our time better.
Practice
Activity 4
Write a reply to Eric as Dr Know. Give him some advice.
Dear Eric,
I know it can be difficult to follow many rules. But rules can be good for us.____________________________________________

Yours,
Dr Know
For the rule that you can't wear your own clothes,remember that the school uniform is a symbol of the school.You can express your individuality in other ways,like through your hairstyle or accessories.
For the rule that you have to clean your room every day,it helps you develop good habits and responsibility. You can try to make it more fun by listening to music while cleaning.
For the rule that you can watch TV,but only after you finish your homework,walk the dog,and do lots of other things.it teaches you time management.You can make a plan and take short breaks between two tasks.
Dear Eric,
I know it can be diffcult to follow many rules. But rules can be good for us. Here are some ideas to make things easier.
First, cleaning your room every day is a good habit. It helps you keep your room tidy. And then wearing the uniform helps you focus on learning rather than fashion. It also saves time in the morning as there's no need to choose outfits. Finally, practicing the violin might seems boring, but it might bring you many opportunities in the future.
Sample
You can also think about the things you can do. You can play some music while you clean. And you can set a specific time for practice. After that, you do something you enjoy as a reward.
Remember, rules are there to help us, not to make us unhappy.
Best wishes,
Dr Know
