We may all experience the power of words in our life, even when we were very young. A child is blamed(责备) by teachers or parents, and after that, he might probably think of himself as a bad child. Most kids have that experience. They say it is important to praise 7 children four times for each negative( 负面的)word. Blaming will make things worse, while positive words are helpful especially when we are being in trouble or in need. When we fail the exam, encouraging words from our teachers or parents make us work harder at our lessons. Encouraging words can go quite a long way. They lift people up. For example, encouraging words to someone who is sad can help them make it through the day. Words can have a powerful effect on your brain. And it will in turn(相应地)have a great influence on your action. Everything you do depends on what you choose to do. It's not your parents, your past relationships or your job, but you and only you that are responsible for every goal you set. If you have dreams in life, write them down and speak them out.

Some of us agree. It will be helpful to our study. With the help of the Internet, we can gain much knowledge and solve problems on our own. We can also surf the Internet to read news and broaden our horizons. What's more, it will promote 12 education. With the help of Wi­Fi, teachers don't have to download all the teaching materials; instead, they could create more interesting classes and work with students better. Others think it's not a good idea. It will distract us from study. As middle school students, we lack self­control. We may be addicted to the Internet and mobile phones. Maybe we lose ourselves in playing games. In my opinion, I agree with the rule. We can keep in touch with parents, friends and teachers through WeChat and other tools. And it will be good for us to hold school events and activities. (I disagree with the rule. We may pay too much attention to the bad information on the Internet. It will take us too much time to find useful information.
