When you have a difficult decision to make , you may probably think it over and over again for hours, weighting up all the advantages and disadvantages before coming to a decision .Or ,maybe you decide it quickly without thinking carefully .But according to scientific research, there’s a better way to do this: Sleep on it .

The result of the survey was interesting. The people who had a good night’s sleep were energetic the next morning .And they choose the best quality cars. But those who made quick decisions chose cars with bad quality.

How to Keep Our Life Safer
Hello, everyone! I’m Jiang, Li from Class One Grade Nine. My topic is about safety. Safety is the first. There is some advice we must remember: First, when you cross the road, we must obey the rules. We mustn’t cross the road when the light is red. We must wait until the light truns green. Second, when we are hungry, we can’t drink too much cold water, or eat things that are unhealthy. Third, when we play games with our classmates, we should be careful not to hurt ourselves or others. Don’t play in the street. Fourth, don’t talk with strangers Don’t follow a stranger to any strange places. That’s all. Thank you for listening.
