How many kinds of shapes(形狀)can you name? If something is round, what do you call it? You call it a circle．What can you see around you that looks like a circle?

Another shape is square．A square has four sides．Each side is the same length(長度) ．A square has four corners called right angles(直角) ．

A triangle is also a shape．The prefix “tri”on the base word “angle”means“three” ．A triangle always has three sides and three angles．

All the pages of your textbooks have four square corners, but the pages are not square．Can you tell why not? It is because the sides of each page are longer than the ends．Shapes like this are rectangles．You can say that they are rectangular shapes．

If you are given a piece of paper which is a rectangular shape, can you make the paper into a square? The answer is “Yes”，and it seems not so difficult ．Now fold the square．What shape have you got? Do you think it’s very interesting?

Why do we come to school? Most of us may say we come to school to study. But to study needs a right way, or you either waste the time or the money. The following are the ways for studying.
The best time for reading is morning. In the morning the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason we can get good results.
In studying we must have patience（耐心）. If we have not known a text well, we must read it again. We should not read the next one until we have learned the first one well.
When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the books, or we can get nothing from the books while we are reading.
We must always ask “whys”. If it is not well understood, write it down and ask our teachers or our parents, brothers or friends. In any possible way, we must know it completely and what we have learned can be used well and made better.
Though there are many ways for studying, yet what I have said above will be enough if we can keep them in heart and do so.
