How to be successful in school Are you good at school? Do you have good results? Here is some advice for you to start being a good student. Firstly, you have to be polite and you have to concentrate in classes. How can you become a good student if you don’t behave with your teacher and your classmates? Secondly, you have to think about everything your parents do for you to be successful at school. They pay for you to have books to study and all these types of things. They work a lot so that you can learn correctly and feel good. So, you just have to do everything for them to be happy, like having good marks. Thirdly, you must study and do you homework. If you study, you get good results and you feel more confident in tests. Teachers normally send homework. You think that they’re not good because of that, but what they want is you to be good. They don’t want to give you work but homework is a way for you to study at home.

Finally, if you do this I’m sure you’ll be a better student. You just have to work hard and think that what

you’re doing now will help with your future! Good work and good luck! (Beatriz Gomes – C teens – Trofa)

When I finish school I will take a medicine course. I want to be a doctor to help people with diseases and see them healed. When I finish university I will get a job. I would enjoy working in the hospital of Porto, the hospital S. João, because the doctors there are very friendly but sometimes we wait fro a doctor a long time. But any hospital is good to work. But what I want most is to take care of all the people in the work. (Diogo Franclim – A ch – Trofa)
