Jack London， a great American writer， who was very poorly when he began to write. He worked hard， it didn’t help. Once he promised the magazine to write a story for it， but he was busy at the time and couldn’t keep his promises. The editor wrote for Jack London several times asked him to send the story. At last he wrote， “Mr London， if I can’t get the story within 24 hours， I’ll come up to your office and kick you downstairs， but I always keep my promise.” Jack London read the note and answer， “Dear sir， if I can do my work with my feet as you， I will keep my promise.”

I hate mobile phones. First of all， very few people real need a mobile phone. If you need to speak to someone， there are a good many of public phone box around in Britain. Most people like being seen with one. They think it makes them look importance and successful. In addition， mobile phones were often used in public places like trains and restaurants and other people around have no choice but listen to the conversation. It is very pleasant. Sometimes it can actually be dangerous at some situations to use a mobile phone， for example when driving. According to the police， speak on the phone while drive is a major cause of accidents.

As students， we have classes from early morning till late afternoon. Therefore， take a ten-minute break between classes is definitely important， even necessarily. Otherwise we may feel both physically or mentally tired. During the ten-minute break we did something to get rid of tiredness. What we need is to have the real rest， instead getting even more tired. So don’t do something that will make you too excited. My ten-minute break is always pleased. I usually do some simple exercises. Sometimes I have a free chat with my classmates or just to take a walk during the break. When the new class begins， I feel freshly again.
