How to Be a Better Teenager
Since we have grown up, it’s time to improve ourselves. Here are some ways I can think of to help us.
As students, the most important thing is to study hard. The more knowledge we learn, the brighter future we will have. Also, we need to do lots of reading. Reading can open up a whole new world to us. Besides, traveling is another way to enrich our mind, because it can help us learn about different people and cultures.
What’s more, we should improve our manners. When we are walking or riding in the street, it’s necessary for us to obey traffic rules. In public places, we should queue for our turn. In the library, we’d better keep our voice down.
It’s never too late to do something meaningful, I think we should try our best to help people in need. We can work as volunteers as often as possible. Moreover, we can donate our pocket money to charities to help homeless people and children in poor areas.
In a word, if every one of us tries our best to do better, the world will become more and more beautiful.
