Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and mitment.Many of us let our lives bee so busy with work and other mitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal（敘舊）with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have.Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant wele? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?If you haven’t seen much of them lately, is it because you have bee too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?If the main reason you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is that you have got too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities（優(yōu)先考慮的事）in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?If you have bee too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be overmitted because you never say “No” to anyone?

Do you believe that everything depends on you?Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities.

The students were questioned whether they were willing to have the evening selfstudy at school or not. Here is the result according to the survey. 60 percent of the students think it’s a good idea to have the evening selfstudy at school. They think they can do better in their study with the help of the teachers. Also, they can concentrate on their lessons better in the classroom and with pany of their fellow classmates. There are 25 percent of the students who think they prefer to study at home. They suppose that they may get disturbed by others and there are possible dangers on their way home alone. At the same time, still 15 percent of the students don’t have a clear answer to the question. They say they will go to school to have evening selfstudy if they are asked to, but they promise they can also do well at home.
