SCHOOL RULES Bob : Hey Sam, have you noticed how the school is being stricter about the rules lately? Sam : Yeah, I have. I think it's because more students are breaking the rules. But I understand why the rules are important. Bob : True. They help keep everything organized and safe. Like the rule about not running in the hallways—it helps prevent accidents. Sam : Exactly, and the rule about respecting others makes sure everyone feels safe and happy. It makes the school a better place for everyone. Bob : Right, and the rules about turning in homework on time help us learn to be responsible. It's a useful skill for the future. Sam : Definitely. When people don’t follow the rules, it creates problems. Remember last week when students skipped classes? It was hard for teachers to manage, and it disturbed everyone. Bob : Yeah, skipping classes isn't good, and it sets a bad example. Plus, students can get detention or a call home if it happens a lot. Sam : And it can hurt our gra...

The Friendship Path Ken had moved to a small town recently and felt very lonely. He didn't have any friends there and missed his old school. The only person he could talk to was his mom. Life seemed boring, and Ken had stopped doing his homework, causing his grades to drop. One evening, Ken's mom sat with him, concerned about his well-being. She asked him to focus on his studies. Annoyed and feeling trapped, Ken shouted, "I'm tired of everything!" After this quarrel, he decided to leave the house for a long walk. The countryside near his home was quiet and seemed to echo his feelings. As he walked, he thought about how lonely he felt. An hour passed before he found a spot under a big tree to sit. He reached for a sandwich in his backpack, and as he ate, the fresh air and silence slowly calmed him down. Feeling a little better after his break, he continued his walk and entered a peaceful wood. There, he spotted a strange old man with a long white beard sitting on a...
