r to do. Adults always want to make a child accept their opinions, but there’s often a disagreement between them. Once a child has found what the parents said or did is right, he/she may respect them and do as what they say later on. But adults do not always do things right even though children often believe their parents. Children have to discover when their parents are right and when they are not.

If anyone asks you how he can get the best view of New York, you can recommend that he take a boat trip around Manhattan. There is no better way to spend a few hours than to take such a trip. Unfortunately, many people who stay in New York all their lives do not realize how much beauty their city has, simply because they have nearer seen it properly. Surely one of he most beautiful sights in the world is the view of New York’s skyscrapers rising several hundred feet into the air. That view is especially breath-taking early in the morning, when the harbor is at its best; yet, few New Yorkers have ever seen it.(18) Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever.

Venice, a city on water, is built on 118 islands and linked by many canals and more than 400 bridges. In Venice, boats are used instead of cars. Public boats are as convenient as public buses in other countries. People will not only go to and from work by boat, but also go and visit friends and relatives by boat. However, visitors to Venice prefer to take a small wooden boa. The boatman, while rowing the boat, sings. The songs spread out with the ripples in water. All these remind people what a happy and comfortable life they have in Venice.

(22) Royal Family
I was in the kitchen one day, trying to reach the baking powder on the top shelf of a cabinet. Being only 150 centimeters tall, I had to stretch, but still couldn’t grab the box.
Fortunately, I have two very tall sons who I often call on to come to my rescue.
“Hey, Brian!” I yelled to my second son, who was in the living room. “Will you get your tallness in here an get this for me?”
“Sure, Mum,” he remarked as he bounded into the kitchen. “But next time, I prefer the title ‘Your Highness.’ ”
(23) Walk, Don’t run
You want to get healthy. You know you need to exercise more. But if you are not ready to grunt through an hour of pumping iron or kickboxing, don’t despair. There’s growing agreement among exercise researchers that the intense physical activities offered by most health clubs are not the only – or even the preferable – path to better health. Indeed, the best thing for most of us may be to just go for a walk.Yes, walk. At a reasonably vigorous clip (five to six kilometers per hour) for half an hour or so, maybe five or six times a week. You may not feel the benefits all at once, but the evidence suggests that over the long term, a regular walking routine can do a world of preventive good.
Walking, in fact, may be the perfect exercise. For starters, it’s one of the safest things you can do with your body. It’s much easier on the knees than running and doesn’t trigger untoward side effects.
Regular physical activity is probably as close to a magic bullet as we will come in modern medicine. If everyone were to walk briskly for 30 minutes every day, we could cut the incidence of many chronic diseases by 30 to 40 per cent.
Walking is also a great way to lose body fat, so even if you don’t lose any weight ,your body will have a healthier composition. Most people find they have to walk at least an hour a day to shed kilo.

Thirty people in a Harvard University study were tested four times a day on how quickly they could process information. They were shown flashing imagines of diagonal lines on a screen and asked to identify which direction they were slanted. The performance of the ten people who stayed awake the entire day declined by50 per cent, while the people who napped for an hour in the early afternoon did as well on their last test as on their first. Even those who napped for half an hour did better than the ones who did not sleep. The other technique that helped? Doing something else. Participants who were shown a slightly different image for the last test saw their scores bounce back to their original levels.
(26) The Write Stuff
Asians are spending more time at the computer. According to a recent government survey, 60 per cent of Singaporeans now have computers in their home. But all that keyboard time shouldn’t kill good penmanship. Kids, in particular, should be encouraged to write by hand. Here are a few ideas to help you and your family write right.
● Keep stationery, pads and good quality pens and pencils – including fun colored ones –around the house to make writing more inviting. ● Forget repetitive writing drills. Ask them to write wish lists or to help with the shopping list.
● Write a letter by hand. E-mail is fast and easy, but a written letter is more meaningful. Taking time to write a letter shows you care.
● When traveling, have kids pick out and write postcards back home.
● Keep a diary or journal. In addition to fine-tuning handwriting skills, it provides an important keepsake for years to come.
