I think a long sleep works for me, especially one day before the day I have to seat for an exam. Besides, I think a short walk in the fresh air also works well for me.

Starting a new day with a cup of coffee and a nice breakfast is always works for me. It’s also good for your health if you spend your precious time for a light exercise such as walking, bicycling or even laugher yoga. I think about an easy way for exercise that everybody can do it every day and it is laughing. It’s just an exercise for your face. Around 25 muscles in your face keep moving when you smile. Furthermore, your brain will transfer for your body a useful substance which helps you live longer.

I am focusing on learning English and being a good person.It is not easy to achieve the above goals,so I need an inspiration(the word I learnt in your previous programme ^_^),and maybe the hope for improving myself works for me.And I think when we put "focusing on" and something "works for" us together ,we can make success,that's my words for all.
