91．How to become an excellent eighth-grader

We had a discussion about how to become an excellent eighth-grader last week. The following is the result.

As for life at school, some students think they should do more exercise to keep healthy, and some students think they should join a volunteer club to help others. What's more, some students think that they should improve their studying skills so that they can get better grades. As for life at home, they think they should communicate with parents and help their parents with the housework. It's important to be independent. It's also a good thing to learn to relax.

In my opinion, we should learn to look after ourselves and it's useful for us to read more books. The more we read, the better we will be.
